Everything else, it’s work ”Socio-cultural dimensions of terroir among Bordeaux winemakers

Winemaking generates various types of residues (vine shoots, stalks, pomace, wine lees and filtration cakes) which can have a notable environmental and economic impact. Wine by-products are rich in bioactive compounds and therefore their valorization can be beneficial on different levels.

Some wine producers, in good years, can produce free-SO2 red wines and decide to add the minimum amount of sulphur dioxide only at bottling. To manage this addition

Red wine ageing is an important step in the red wine evolution and impacts its chemical and sensory characteristics through many chemicals and physico-chemical reactions. The kinetics of these evolutions depend on the wine studied and influence the wine ageing potential. Generally, high quality red wines require a longer period of bottle ageing before consumption¹. The ageing potential is an impor-tant parameter for wine quality and is related to the capacity of a wine to undergo oxidation over time². Phenolic compounds which are ones of the main substrates for oxidation can then potentially modulate ageing potential³.

Muscat of Alexandria is one of the oldest cultivars still existing, globally recognized for its distinctive aroma, and the primary grape variety cultivated in the Greek Island of Lemnos, yielding various white wines with designated origins.

Le zonage vitivinicole présente toute une série d’applications pratiques. Son importance est en train d’augmenter, soit en fonction des moyens techniques chaque fois plus performants, qui rendent possible le développement des zonages de plus en plus intégrées, consistants et utiles, soit en fonction d’un marché de plus en plus mondialisé. L’article situe la contribution du zonage au niveau de la production vitivinicole et du développement du territoire.
