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

Abstract

What if, in 25 years, most wines were dealcoholized and flavored? What if vines were only cultivated to fight 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 favour 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 maneuverer that actors have to promote the advent of a future, which we can hope to be chosen, at least in part. They mobilize a systemic approach which involves putting each question asked into perspective in relation to different possible constructions of the future world, both that of knowledge and that of companies and organizations.

Since its creation in 2009, FranceAgriMer has conducted foresight exercises with agricultural sectors to build together common representations of their operations and future scenarios. Then, on this basis, the actors of the sectors were systematically invited to analyse the consequences of the scenarios and to debate them. Thus, from the organization of a debate on the future, a collective sector strategy can emerge.

On the basis of the foresight “Vines and Wines, Scenarios and challenges for research and stakeholders” published in 2003 under the direction of Michel Sebillotte, around fifteen exercises were carried out for and on the vineyard and wine sector in collaboration with the Agro M Institute. Insights were provided more specifically to various organizations and segments of the sector, such as cooperation, organic wines, wines without GI, etc. ultimately providing a set of reflections whose alignment proves inspiring and useful for anticipating the he future of the sector as a whole and perhaps even beyond national borders.

Retour sur 20 ans d’explorations des futurs de la filière vignes et vins

Et si, dans 25 ans, la plupart des vins étaient désalcoolisés et aromatisés ? Et si la vigne n’était plus cultivée que pour lutter contre l’érosion, stocker du carbone, et fournir des anthocyanes… ? Et si le changement climatique bouleversait totalement la liste des variétés de vignes cultivables pour la production de vin en france ? Et si les magasins d’alimentation avaient totalement disparu au profit de plateformes virtuelles ? Et si… parce que l’avenir à long terme n’est pas prédéterminé et donc pas connaissable, parce que l’avenir est ouvert à plusieurs possibles, parce que l’avenir n’émerge pas du néant mais du présent qui recèle des tendances lourdes et des signaux faibles, les démarches prospectives permettent d’envisager les marges de manœuvre qu’ont les acteurs pour favoriser l’advenue d’un futur, qu’on peut espérer choisi, au moins en partie. Elles mobilisent une approche systémique qui induit la mise en perspective de chaque question posée par rapport à différentes constructions possibles du monde futur, aussi bien celui des connaissances que celui des entreprises et des organisations. Depuis sa création en 2009 franceagrimer conduit avec les filières agricoles des exercices de prospective pour construire ensemble des représentations communes de leurs fonctionnements et des scénarios d’avenir. Ensuite, sur cette base, les acteurs des filières ont été systématiquement invités à analyser les conséquences des scénarios et à en débattre. Ainsi, de l’organisation d’un débat sur l’avenir peut émerger une stratégie collective de filière.  Sur la base de la prospective « vignes et vins, scénarios et défis pour la recherche et les acteurs » publiée en 2003 sous la direction de michel sebillotte, une dizaine d’exercices ont été menés pour et sur la filière vignes et vins en collaboration avec l’institut agro m. Des éclairages ont pu être fournis plus spécifiquement à diverses organisations et segments de la filière, comme la coopération, les vins bio, les vins sans ig,… fournissant finalement un ensemble de réflexions dont la mise en cohérence se révèle inspirante et utile pour anticiper l’avenir de la filière dans son ensemble et peut-être même au-delà des frontières nationales… la communication s’attachera à revenir sur  ces démarches, l’évolution des problématiques mises au jour au fil des exercices de prospective et de leur déploiement pour la filière française vigne et vin.

Una mirada retrospectiva a 20 años explorando el futuro del sector de la viña y el vino

¿qué pasaría si, dentro de 25 años, la mayoría de los vinos fueran desalcoholizados y aromatizados ? ¿y si la vid sólo se cultivara para combatir la erosión, almacenar carbono y proporcionar antocianinas…? ¿qué pasaría si el cambio climático cambiara por completo la lista de variedades de vid cultivables para la producción de vino en francia? ¿y si las tiendas de alimentación hubieran desaparecido por completo en favor de las plataformas virtuales? Y si… debido a que el futuro a largo plazo no está predeterminado y por lo tanto no es cognoscible, porque el futuro está abierto a varias posibilidades, porque el futuro no surge de la nada sino del presente que oculta fuertes tendencias y señales débiles, los enfoques prospectivos permiten considerar el margen de maniobra que tienen los actores para promover el advenimiento de un futuro, que podemos esperar ser elegido, al menos en parte. Movilizan un enfoque sistémico que implica poner en perspectiva cada pregunta planteada en relación con diferentes construcciones posibles del mundo futuro, tanto el del conocimiento como el de las empresas y organizaciones. Desde su creación en 2009, franceagrimer ha llevado a cabo ejercicios de prospectiva con los sectores agrícolas para construir juntos representaciones comunes de sus operaciones y escenarios futuros. Luego, sobre esta base, los actores de los sectores fueron invitados sistemáticamente a analizar las consecuencias de los escenarios y debatirlos. Así, de la organización de un debate sobre el futuro puede surgir una estrategia colectiva del sector. A partir de la prospectiva “viñas y vinos, escenarios y retos para la investigación y los actores” publicada en 2003 bajo la dirección de michel sebillotte, se realizaron una decena de ejercicios para y sobre el sector vitivinícola y vitivinícola en colaboración con el instituto agro m. Se proporcionaron conocimientos más específicos a diversas organizaciones y segmentos del sector, como la cooperación, los vinos orgánicos, los vinos sin ig, etc., proporcionando en definitiva un conjunto de reflexiones cuya alineación resulta inspiradora y útil para anticipar el futuro del sector en su conjunto. Y tal vez incluso más allá de las fronteras nacionales… la comunicación se centrará en revisar estos enfoques, la evolución de las cuestiones reveladas durante los ejercicios de prospectiva y su aplicación en el sector vitivinícola francés.

Legal and economic evolution of the Japanese wine industry in the 21st century

Historically bounded by strict regulations with a focus on taxation since the 19th century, the japanese wine industry stands at a crossroads in the 21st century, necessitated by alignment with international standards and opening towards global markets.

Inactivated yeasts: a case study for the future of precision enology

Yeasts serve as highly versatile tools in oenology. They do more than just perform alcoholic fermentation. Nowadays, yeasts from various species, naturally present in grapes, are selected for specific non-fermentative applications. For example, the use of selected non-saccharomyces at the early stage of winemaking has become a common practice to limit the growth of unwanted microorganisms. When inactivated, yeasts can be fractionated into soluble and insoluble fractions providing a wide range of benefits related to structural components or specific metabolites.

Role of PH and its management during vinification on the extraction during maceration and on the evolution during ageing of the phenolic compounda of red wine

Climatic changes cause significant variations in the composition of grapes. for red grapes, a mismatch between phenolic and technological ripening is often observed. There is also often a marked increase in pH and a reduction in fixed acids, which affect the stability and evolution of the wine during ageing. These experiments will provide more information on the role of pH during the winemaking of red wines on the extraction and evolution of phenolic compounds.

Shading nets for the adaptation to climate change: effect on vine physiology and grape quality 

Viticulture is threatened by the environmental modification caused by climate change. Higher temperatures determine an acceleration of the ripening process, which can be detrimental to wine quality. In the mediterranean area, heat waves are also increasingly frequent, with consequent blocking of the vegetative activity of the vines and increased susceptibility to sunburn damage. thus, adaptation strategies are necessary to reduce stress and improve the quality of grape production. Amongst the various techniques available, shading nets represent an interesting alternative for their effects on canopy microclimate (i.e., reduction of photosynthetic activity, improvement of water use efficiency, and slowing down in the ripening process).
