Red wine oxidation study by accelerating ageing tests and electrochemical method

Abstract

Red wines can undergo many undesirable changes during the winemaking process and storage, particularly oxidative degradation due to numerous atmospheric oxygen intakes. This spoilage can impact organoleptic properties and color stabilization but this impact depends on the wine composition. Phenolic compounds constitute primary targets to oxidation reactions.
In order to obtain information on the oxidative behavior of red wines, oxygen consumption rates and electrochemical modifications (obtained by cyclic voltammetry) were measured for nine red wines subject to three different accelerated ageing tests (after wine air saturation). Chemical test (hydrogen peroxide add), enzymatic test (laccase from Trametes versicolor add) and temperature test (heat at 60°C) were carried out. Global phenolic composition, metals (Fe and Cu) and free SO2 concentrations were also determined. 
The obtained results showed oxidative behavior depended both on the wine sample and accelerated ageing test type. Good correlations were obtained between electrochemical parameters (charges at different potentials related to reductive properties) for non-oxidized wines and their variation after enzymatic and temperature tests, meaning that cyclic voltammetry could be used in order to predict these two oxidation tests and reflect the wine sensitivity towards respective oxidation targets. To strengthen this, good correlations were also obtained between the electrochemical parameters of the initial wines and oxygen consumption rates for these two tests. However, it was not possible to predict wine chemical oxidation test based on hydrogen peroxide from the electrochemical measurements.

Regenerative agriculture is a set of agricultural practices that focus on improving the health of the soil, increasing biodiversity, and enhancing ecosystem services.

Effect of two contrasting soils on grape and wine sensory characteristics in Shiraz

Aims: Berry composition and wine sensory characteristics reflect the origin of grape production and seasonal climatic conditions. The aim of this study was to compare berry and wine sensory characteristics from two contrasting soil types where the vineyard climate, geography, topography, vine and management factors were not different.

Digitising the vineyard: developing new technologies for viticulture in Australia 

New and developing technologies, that provide sensors and the software systems for using and interpreting them, are becoming pervasive through our lives and society. From smart phones to cars to farm machinery, all contain a range of sensors that are monitored automatically with intelligent software, providing us with the information we need, when we need it. This technological revolution has the potential to monitor all aspects of vineyard activity, assisting growers to make the management choices they need to achieve the outcomes they want. For example, a future vineyard may possess automated imaging that generates a three dimensional model of the vine canopy, highlighting differences from the desired structure and how to use canopy management to improve fruit composition, or generates maps with yield estimates and measurements of berry composition throughout the growing season.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.
