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 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. 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 analyze 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 ten 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… the communication will focus on reviewing these approaches, the evolution of the issues revealed during the foresight exercises and their deployment for the french vine and wine sector.

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.

Trends and challenges in international wine trade

Trends already extended for more than 12 years show a decline in both consumption and international trade, particularly in volume. However, there are also positive signs in several categories of wine, segments and markets, as well as a better trend in terms of value. How are these trends affecting wine producers and distributors? Are they short or long term? do they mean radical and permanent changes to which a way of adaptation has to be found or are they just temporary changes that may only require some calm? How are companies adapting to these new trends? Which are their effects on wine regions?

Plastic cover film on table grapes from field to cold storage

Plastic film covering is a technique largely used in viticulture to protect table grapes vines from adverse weather conditions and to reduce the negative effects of grapevine fungi disease. Plastic film composition affects solar radiation income inside the covering with effects on sunlight wavelengths in relation to different absorbance and reflectance. The interaction of selected light ranges with vines could influence grape ripening and yield and consequently influence shelf life.

Raman spectroscopy as a rapid method to assess grape polyphenolic maturation and wine malolactic fermentation on site

Wineries can increase their economic and environmental sustainability by optimizing the winemaking procedures, from harvest to wine maturation and conservation. Based on analytical data of the chemical composition and wine sensory evaluation, the enologist makes his own decision regarding the enological interventions at the harvest date selection, winemaking and post-winemaking.

Produce wines with no quantifiable phytosanitary residues. Impact of washing grapes? 

Consumer expectations are increasingly shifting towards “residue-free wines.” However, from an analytical standpoint, “zero” does not exist. Laboratories often use the quantification limits of analysis methods to signify ‘zero.’ Improved techniques now allow for the quantification of levels that were previously undetectable. This is why we prefer to use the term “unquantifiable residue” rather than “absence of residues.”

Contribution of grape seeds to evolution of acetaldehyde, pigments and tannins reactive towards salivary proteins of red wine over time

This study investigated the impact of the gsk/gse ratio on the evolution of acetaldehyde and of major phenolic compounds of aglianico wine in wine like solution and real wine. Four model solutions and the correspondant control wines were prepared. The natural weight ratio between grape skins and seeds was determined on the real grapes, and a control wine was obtained from those.
