Multi-omics methods to unravel microbial diversity in fermentation of Riesling wines

Abstract

Wine aroma is shaped by the wine’s chemical compositions, in which both grape constituents and microbes play crucial roles. Although wine quality is influenced by the microbial communities, less is known about their population interactions. Previous studies linking the effect of native microbial communities to sensory relevant aroma compounds with their interactive properties have been vastly unsuccessful to date. Partially because studies relied on relatively few isolated strains or chemical compounds, which may be not sufficient to fully understand this complex picture.

Native microbial communities from different Riesling vineyards were studied over multiple experiments during vinification as well as over a two-year to reveal their effects on chemical and sensory composition of spontaneously fermented Riesling wines.

We demonstrate that by combining modern untargeted high-throughput omics technologies and statistical approaches, it is possible to look into samples in situ in the actual natural environment. Our results indicate that both vineyard and winery microbial communities are found to play significant roles in wine. Microbial communities within the fermenting were strongly influenced by vineyard of origin.

These population dynamics are consequently translated into diverse sensory properties through sensory relevant chemical interactions. We found that both sensory and chemical compositions were heavily influenced by the microbial community composition during the vinification as well as the vineyard and the year. Such methodologies allow to find novel microbial and chemical patterns which could be further tested with targeted studies. In addition to deconstructing the microbial community composition in complex natural environment, we leverage on shotgun metagenomic data to undertake the functional analysis of the microbial community during wine fermentation. In the future, multiomics approaches will be essential for fully discovering the complexity of biological networks, where microbes, host and chemical compounds interact with human sensory perceptions. These developed approaches benefit any industry that works with complex biological interactions.

Influence of the number of CPPU applications on growth, mineral composition and Bunch Stem Necrosis incidence in table grape clusters

The forchlorfenuron (CPPU) application is recommended in table-grape after fruit-set to boost berry sizing, albeit growers also apply CPPU during pre-flowering with controversial advantages. We examined the effect of single (BBCH 15) and double (BBCH 15 and 57) CPPU applications (2.25 mg/L a.s.) in a commercial vineyard. At each time, 75-100 bunches belonging to 6-9 vines were sprayed, and compared with unsprayed (CTRL). Leaf stomatal conductance (gs), cluster stem diameter and length were measured. At harvest, 25 berries/repetition were sampled for chemical composition, BSN incidence was counted (N° necrotic laterals/10 cm of stem) in 40 bunches/repetition. To test the role of air VPD on mineral composition, at BBCH 77, 50 CTRL clusters were bagged to induce a low VPD.

Étude de la composante climatique du terroir viticole en Val de Loire : relation avec les facteurs physiques du milieu

The research carried out by the URVV of the INRA center in Angers aims to develop a methodology for the integrated characterization of the natural factors of viticultural terroirs, representative of the operating conditions of the vine and the sensory differences of the wines. In this context, the concept of Basic Terroir Unit (UTB) has been developed. The UTB represents a viticultural surface of variable geographical extension, defined as the association in a given place of a geological, pedological and landscape component, Morlat (1989), Riou et al. (1995).

Application of GiESCO “bio-metaethics” charter in practice: the “direct” involvement of vine grower, winemaker, society

On the basis of a direct agreement between the GiESCO and the vine grower, the winemaker and the consumers (individual; company; public or private organizations), the communication on the content of the charter can be done as follows:
• Commitment to respect the basic rules of the GiESCO “BIO – MetaEthics” charter.
1/ Put Mankind in the depth of all concerns in a universal context: (grower, consumer, citizen, work valuing, education, security)
2/ Insure minimum impact on environment by optimizing cultivation technics: (maximum of natural biodegradable products, friendly practices, short channels, renewable energies, terroir sustainability)

Monitoring vineyard canopy structure by aerial and ground-based RGB and multispectral imagery analysis

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used to monitor canopy structure and vineyard performance. Compared with traditional remote sensing platforms (e.g. aircraft and satellite), UAVs offer a higher operational flexibility and can acquire ultra-high resolution images in formats such as true color red, green and blue (RGB) and multispectral. Using photogrammetry, 3D vineyard models and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) maps can be created from UAV images and used to study the structure and health of grapevine canopies. However, there is a lack of comparison between UAV-based images and ground-based measurements, such as leaf area index (LAI) and canopy porosity.
