“Vinhos de mesa” et oenophilie : quand les caractéristiques organoleptiques des cépages américains empêchent l’intégration des consommateurs à l’univers de l’appréciation esthétique

Abstract

Au Brésil, 80 % du vignoble national et 90 % du vignoble de l’État du Rio Grande do Sul (principale région productrice de vins dans le pays) sont plantés avec des cépages issus de vitis labrusca ou de cépages hybrides (DEBASTIANI, 2015). Une partie de cette production est utilisée pour la préparation de jus de raisin et de concentrés de moût ou de pulpe de raisin. Le restant est consacré à la fabrication des « vinhos de mesa » (vins de table) produits très souvent en demi-sec ou doux. À titre de comparaison en 2018, l’État du Rio Grande do Sul a produit 218 millions de litres de vinhos de mesa contre seulement 38 millions de litres de vins fins issus de cépages européens vitis vinifera (EMBRAPA, 2020). Les chiffres de commercialisation sont semblables à ceux de la production (ibid.).

Bien que la consommation de vins fins ne représente qu’entre un tiers et un quart de la consommation de vin au Brésil (ibid.), elle détient le monopole du discours normatif à propos du vin (RECKINGER, 2012). Le discours dirigé aux groupes d’œnophiles hisse le vin en tant que produit esthétiquement appréciable puisqu’il véhicule un message à être interprété (CHARTERS et PEETIGREW, 2005 ; SIBLEY, 2001 ; KOCH, 2021). Nous avons alors un problème d’incompréhension de codes puisque l’expérience sensorielle de goûter le vin se trouve étroitement liée à la maîtrise d’un vocabulaire spécifique permettant d’émettre un jugement esthétique à propos du breuvage qui sera reconnu et accepté par les paires (ibid.).

Nous avons alors une triple barrière à l’intégration du buveur de « vinhos de mesa » à l’univers de l’œnophilie : d’abord un discours qui exclut d’emblée toute boisson non issue de vitis vinifera ; des goûts et des mots qui ne trouvent pas d’écho dans l’expérience vécue par le consommateur ; des représentations distinctes entre les pratiques œnophiles minoritaires et les rituels hédonistes purement sensoriels des consommateurs non-éclairés (KOCH, 2021).

Cette communication se donne comme objectif de revenir sur la discussion du vin comme objet esthétique. Nous voulons jeter de la lumière sur les limites que cette pratique peut avoir lors qu’une topique socioculturelle (DURAND, 1994) spécifique n’est pas prise en compte. Le cas de « vinhos de mesa » brésilien sert d’illustration de la nécessité de s’établir une « traduction » inclusive des imaginaires et des pratiques consommatoires.

REMEDIATION OF SMOKE TAINTED WINE USING MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS

In recent years, vineyards in Australia, the US, Canada, Chile, South Africa and Europe have been exposed to smoke from wildfires. Wines made from smoke-affected grapes often exhibit unpleasant smoky, ashy characters, attributed to the presence of smoke-derived volatile compounds, including volatile phenols (which occur in free and glycosylated forms). Various strategies for remediation of smoke tainted wine have been evaluated. The most effective strategies involve the removal of smoke taint compounds via the addition of adsorbent materials such as activated carbon, which can either be added directly or used in combination with nanofiltration. However, these treatments often simultaneously remove wine constituents responsible for desirable aroma, flavour and colour attributes.

The true cost of the vineyard landscape enhancement. First results in the Venezia biodistrict 

The research is part of the “Ecovinegoals” project, financed by Interreg Adrion funds. It aims to encourage the adoption and dissemination of agroecological practices in intensive wine-growing areas. The study focuses on cost analysis of the wine-growing landscape enhancement in an organic winery in order to provide a useful tool for winemakers to direct their investments in green infrastructures. One of the Italian pilot areas of the Ecovinegoals project is the Venezia Biodistrict, characterized by viticulture in a flat reclamation area of 105,800 hectares.

The influence of site aspect and pruning types on Pinot Noir phenology and shoot growth

Aim: Managing the influence that terroir in vineyards has on vine development depends on improving our understanding the effect of the interaction of within-site variability, within-vine variability, and management practices (such as pruning types) on phenology and vine development. This study evaluates the consequence of site aspect

Impact of geographical location on the phenolic profile of minority varieties grown in Spain. II: red grapevines

Because terroir and cultivar are drivers of wine quality, is essential to investigate theirs effects on polyphenolic profile before promoting the implantation of a red minority variety in a specific area. This work, included in MINORVIN project, focuses in the polyphenolic profile of 7 red grapevines minority varieties of Vitis vinifera L. (Morate, Sanguina, Santafe, Terriza Tinta Jeromo Tortozona Tinta) and Tempranillo) from six typical viticulture Spanish areas: Aragón (A1), Cataluña (A2), Castilla la Mancha (A3), Castilla –León (A4), Madrid (A5) and Navarra (A6) of 2020 season. Polyphenolic substances were extracted from grapes. 35 compounds were identified and quantified (mg subtance/kg fresh berry) by HPLC and grouped in anthocyanins (ANT) flavanols (FLAVA), flavonols (FLAVO), hydroxycinnamic (AH), benzoic (BA) acids and stilbenes (ST). Antioxidant activity (AA, mmol TE /g fresh berry) was determined by DPPH method. The results were submitted to a two-way ANOVA to investigate the influence of variety, area and their interaction for each polyphenolic family and cluster analysis was used to construct hierarchical dendrograms, searching the natural groupings among the samples. Sanguina (A3) had the most of total polyphenols while Tempranillo (A5) those of ANT. Sanguina (A2) and (A3) reached the highest values of FLAVO, FLAVA and AA. These two last samples had also the maximum of AA. The effect cultivar and area were significant for all polyphenolic families analyzed. A high variability due to variety (>50%) was observed in FLAVA and the maximum value of variability due to growing area was detected in AA (86.41%), ANT and FLAVO (51%); the interaction variety*zone was significant only for ANT, FLAVO, EST and AA. Finally, dendrograms presented five cluster: i) Sanguina (A2); ii) Sanguina (A3); iii) Tempranillo (A5); iv) Tempranillo (A3); Terriza (A3,A5), Morate (A5,A6); v) Santafé (A1,A6); Tortozona tinta (A1,A3,A6); Tinta Jeromo (A3,A4).

Proteomic and activity characterization of exocellular laccases from three Botrytis cinerea strains

Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes common infection in grapes and other fruits. In winemaking, its presence can be both considered desirable in the case of noble rot infection or undesirable when grey rot is developed. This fungus produces an extracellular enzyme known as laccase which is able to cause oxidation of phenolic compounds present in must and wine, causing most of the times a decrease in its quality and problems during the winemaking process [1]. Material and methods: Three B. cinerea strains (B0510, VA612 and RM344) were selected and grown in a liquid medium adapted from one previously described [2]. The enzyme was isolated by tangential ultrafiltration of the culture medium using a QuixStand system equipped with a 30 KDa filtration membrane.
