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…).

Classification of the wine-growing environment of Central Mancha (Spain). First works

This paper describes a zoning study performed on a vast territory of around 86,500 hectares, situated in the countryside area of La Mancha Central (Castilla-La Mancha). The aim of the study was to classify the environment according to a small number of ecological criteria, establish the relevant territorial units and generate thematic maps with the different levels of criteria employed and synthetic maps by crossing these criteria.

Phytosterols and ergosterol role during wine alcoholic fermentation for 27 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains

Sterols are a class of the eukaryotic lipidome that is essential for the maintenance of the cell membrane integrity and their good functionality (Daum et al., 1998).

Evaluation of clonal variability of phenolic compounds in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Trnjak crni grown in Croatia

Context and purpose of the study. Croatia has rich grapevine genetic resources with more than 130 native varieties preserved.

Use of UHPH to improve the implantation of non-Saccharomyces yeasts

Ultra High-Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) is a high-pressure pumping at 300 MPa (>200 MPa) with a subsequent depressurization against a highly resistant valve made of tungsten carbide covered by ceramic materials or carbon nanoparticles. The intense impact and shear efforts produce the nano-fragmentation of colloidal biopolymers including the elimination of microorganism (pasteurization or sterilization depending on in-valve temperature) and the inactivation of enzymes.

The evolution of the concept of geographical denomination in South America

Vers la fin du XX siècle, la vitiviniculture argentine a subi une profonde transformation qualitative atteignant toute la filière. L’analyse de l’évolution de la superficie des vignobles, l’élaboration des vins, la consommation et les exportations, permet de mettre en évidence ces changements. Dans ce contexte, l’origine apparaît comme un outil de force, d’expansion et de succès sur les marchés.
