Bio-protection by one strain of M. Pulcherrima: microbiological and chemical impacts in red wines

Abstract

In enology, bio-protection consists in adding bacteria, yeasts or a mixture of microorganisms on grape must before fermentation in order to reduce the use of chemical compounds such as sulphites. 
More particularly, non-Saccharomyces yeasts are used as a total or partial alternative to sulphites. 
However, scientific data capable of proving the effectiveness of adding these yeasts on grape must remain scarce. A single study in white winemaking showed that early addition of a non-Saccharomyces T. delbrueckii strain could be a microbiological and chemical alternative to sulphites (Simonin et al., 2018). 
However, there is a lack of scientific data concerning red winemaking where the process allows to leave the yeasts added during the whole winemaking. This study reports for the first time the analysis of microbiological and chemical effects of one Metschnikowia pulcherrima strain, inoculated at the beginning of the red winemaking process in three wineries as an alternative to sulphiting. The implantation of the M. pulcherrima was successful in all the wineries and effectively limited the development of spoilage microorganisms in the same way as the addition of sulphites. The addition of non-Saccharomyces strain could protect must and wine from oxidation as demonstrated by the proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin analysis. 
Adding M. pulcherrima had no effect on wine volatile compounds and sensorial analysis. However, the untargeted analysis by FTICR-MS highlighted a bio-protection signature and an activation of certain metabolic pathways.

EFFECTS OF BIODYNAMIC VINEYARD MANAGEMENT ON GRAPE RIPENING MECHANISMS

Biodynamic agriculture, founded in 1924 by Rudolph Steiner, is a form of organic agriculture. Through a holistic approach, biodynamic agriculture seeks to preserve the diversity of agriculture and the existing interactions between the mineral world and the different components of the organic world. Biodynamic grape production involves the use of composts, herbal teas and mineral preparations such as 500, 501 and CBMT.
Several scientific studies have provided evidence on the effects of biodynamic farming on the soil, the plant and the wine. Numerous empirical opinions of wine growers support the existence of differences brought by such a management.

How do we describe wine imagery? Expertise shapes language usage and multimodal imagery for wine

The acquisition of wine expertise is a multi-faceted and multisensory process with implications for sensory perception, attention, memory, and language production. With the prevalence of the predictive model of brain functioning, one area of burgeoning research interest involves wine mental imagery, since the brain relies on imagined experiences to build predictions for the future. Recent evidence has shown that, for instance, those with higher imagery vividness are more susceptible to wine advertising. However, little is known about the association between mental imagery and other associated cognitive processes, such as the ability to produce words that describe such imagery.
