Data mining approaches for time series data analysis in viticulture. Potential of the bliss (Bayesian functional linear regression with sparse step functions) method to identify temperature effects on yield potential

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Vine development, and hence management, depends on dynamic factors (climate, soil moisture, cultural practices etc.) whose impact can vary depending upon their temporal modalities (timing, duration, threshold, eventually trajectory and memory effects). Therefore, understanding the effect of the temporal variation of these factors on grapevine physiology would be of strategic benefit in viticulture, for example in establishing yield potential. Today many estates own data that can support temporal analyses, while the emergence of precision viticulture allows management at higher spatial and temporal resolutions. These data are a great opportunity to advance knowledge about the dynamics of grapevine physiology and production, and promote an improved precision of vineyard practices. The exploitation of these data needs analytical methods that fully explore time series data. However, current methods tend to only focus on a few key phenological stages or time steps. Such approaches do not fully address the potential information captured by continuous temporal measurements because they introduce limitations : i) they rely on choices of variables and timing, ii) they often require suppressing data or analysing only parts of a time series and iii) data correlation over time is not taken into account. A new approach is explored in this paper, using a Bayesian functional Linear regression with Sparse Steps functions (BLiSS method). The BLiSS method overcomes the mentioned limitations and leads to a more complete and objective analysis of time series data. Based on the identification of climatic periods affecting yield, the objective of the study is to evaluate the potential of the BLiSS method.

Materials and method ‐ Minimum and maximum daily temperatures during the year preceding the harvest year were regressed against the number of clusters per vine using the BLiSS method on one block of a commercial vineyard in the Bordeaux region over 11 years. The reliability and pertinence of the BLiSS method to reveal already reported, ignored or underestimated temperature effects on the number of clusters per vine are tested by comparison with literature results.

Results ‐ The BLiSS method allowed the detection of periods when temperature influenced the number of clusters per vine during the year preceding the harvest year. Some of the detected periods of influence had already been reported in literature. However, the BLiSS outcomes suggested that some of those known periods may have a different duration or several effects, thus challenging actual knowledge. Finally, some new periods of influence were identified by the BLiSS method. These results confirmed the potential of the BLiSS method to undertake a fuller exploration of time series data in the case of climate influence on grape yield.

Impact of winemaking processes on wine polysaccharides, improving by qNMR

Today the knowledge in terms of molecular composition of the colloidal matrix is ​​not enough in order to control its stability, according to the number of winemaking and wine stabilization processes. The physico-chemical processes during the winemaking change the composition and quantity of wine macromolecules. The goal today is to determine which analytical techniques will allow to discriminate these winemaking processes in order to better understand their impact on colloidal matrix stability as well as which molecules are responsible for its instabilities. METHODS: Wines obtained after conventional winemaking were subjected to different fining and chemical stabilization treatments. Different methods were used to investigate the wine macromolecular composition and stability after chemical stabilization, including quantitative and qualitative analyzes of total soluble polysaccharides by extraction under acidified ethanol, and by size exclusion separation as well as qNMR metabolomics. RESULTS: Observation of a slight difference at the quantitative level using classical analysis between the winemaking processes was observed as well as a strong discrimination by qNMR metabolomics.

Bunch placement effects on dehydration kinetics and physico-chemical composition of Nebbiolo grapes

Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG is a special reinforced red wine produced using withered Nebbiolo grapes. The withering process takes place in traditional rooms under natural environmental conditions; it starts immediately after the harvest and ends not before the 1st December of the same year. The process can be performed with different bunch placements that can influence the grapes features.The purpose of the study is to compare the effect on grape physico-chemical parameters for four withering bunch placement systems: hanged clusters (HC), plastic crates (CT), breathable mesh fabric on wooden frames panels (MF), and reed mats (RM). For all the systems studied, the withering length was two months at a temperature between 6 and 19 °C and a relative humidity of 41-88%.

A look back at 20 years of exploring the future of the vines and wines sector

What if, in 25 years, most wines were dealcoholized and flavored ? What if vines were only cultivated to combat erosion, store carbon, and provide anthocyanins…? What if climate change completely changed the list of vine varieties cultivable for wine production in France? What if food stores had completely disappeared in favor of virtual platforms? And if… because the long-term future is not predetermined and therefore not knowable, because the future is open to several possibilities, because the future does not emerge from nothing but from the present which conceals heavy trends and weak signals, prospective approaches make it possible to consider the room for maneuver that actors have to promote the advent of a future, which we can hope to be chosen, at least in part.

PROFILING OF LIPIDS IN WINES FROM MONOCULTURE FERMENTATION WITH INDIGENOUS METSCHNIKOWIA YEAST SPECIES

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds essential for living systems. They are vital compounds for yeast which makes them an important modulator of yeast metabolism in alcoholic fermentation. This study presents a comprehensive lipidome analysis of wine samples from the Vitis vinifera L., Maraština. The fermentation trails were set up in monoculture with different indigenous yeast strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes: Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metshnikowia sinensis/shanxiensis , and Metschnikowia chyrsoperlae.
