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…).

Rootstock impact on foliar symptom expression of esca on Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon

Trunk diseases and esca in particular, represent a major threat to the sustainability of the vineyards. The percentages of unproductive vines in a plot could vary from 4% to over 20 % depending on local conditions and vintages.

Étude intégrée et allégée des terroirs viticoles en Anjou: caractérisation et zonage de l’unité terroir de base, en relation avec une enquête parcellaire

The terroir concept is presented as the basis of the A.O.C system, in the french vineyards. The “Anjou terroirs” programme aims at bringing the necessary scientific basisfor a rational and reasoned exploitation of the terroir. lt must lead to finalizing a lighter, more relevant integrated method of characterisation wich could be generally applied.

How a microscopic yeast makes a big difference – how geographic limitations of yeast populations can determine the regional aroma of wine

Aim: Microbial biogeography contributes to regional distinctiveness of agricultural products and is important to determine for quality and marketing of wine products. We evaluated the microbial influence on wine characteristics by considering the microbial diversity of soil, plant, grapes, must and wine in grapegrowing regions across Victoria, Australia.

Monitoring grapevine downy mildew epidemics with SkySat and PlanetScope imagery

Grapevine downy mildew (GDM), caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most destructive diseases of Vitis vinifera worldwide. All V. vinifera cultivars are susceptible to P. viticola infection, and epidemics can spread across an entire vineyard within a matter of weeks. Severe outbreaks cause substantial reductions in yield and fruit quality. Tracking GDM spread by manual scouting is time-consuming and unfeasible over large spatial extents.
