Wine growing regions global climate analysis

Abstract

We depict the main features of five viticulture agroclimatic indices for 626 wine growing regions within 41 countries. The indices are calculated using the WorldClim 30 sec arc (1 km) resolution database, updated for the period 2000-2014 using CRU3.2 database. The spatial limits of each region are given by the Vineyard Geodatabase, an electronic map elaborated from various sources (Atlases, wine region maps, land cover database…).

Determination of aromatic characteristics from Syrah and Tempranillo tropical wines elaborated in Northeast Brazil

Dans la region Nord-Est du Brésil, située à la Vallée du São Francisco, localiséee entre les paralleles 8-9º HS, la production de vins tropicaux a commencé il y a une vigntaine d’années. Dans cette région, il est possible d’avoir au minimum deux récoltes par an, car la moyenne de température est de 26 ºC, avec une pluviosité moyenne de 550 mm entre les mois de janvier-avril.

The terroir of Carnuntum: investigation of the physiogeographic characteristics and interdisciplinary study of viticultural functions of the Carnuntum wine district, Austria

During a three-year period, the vineyards of the Carnuntum wine district are investigated for their terroir characteristics. The interdisciplinary study is aimed at the description of the physiogeographic

Unveiling the viticultural heritage of Rachaya, Lebanon: genetic, ampelographic and chemical profiling of local grape varieties

Located in the western bekaa region of lebanon, rachaya is known for its extensive history of viticulture and ideal mediterranean conditions for grapevine cultivation. Despite the area’s importance in grapevine production, there is limited knowledge about the local grape varieties grown there. In this work, we conducted a detailed analysis of five local grapevine varieties in the area, obeidy, kassoufi, foddeh, aswadi, and maryami, of which little is currently known, in comparison to a set of international varieties.

Petiole phosphorus concentration is controlled by the rootstock genetic background in grapevine: is this a key for understanding rootstock conferred vigour?

Grapevine, Vitis vinifera, requires grafting on Phylloxera tolerant rootstocks of American origin in most viticultural areas of the world. The most commonly used species in rootstock creation are V. berlandieri, V. riparia and V. rupestris. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera but assure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. The objective of this work was to determine to what extent rootstocks of different parentages alter the mineral composition of petioles of grapevine.
