Successful training on responsible wine consumption in Germany

Abstract

Vocational school seminars on “Wine consumption between enjoyment and risk” are part of the German implementation of the international prevention programme Wine in Moderation. In addition to basic information on legal issues, such as applicable laws (Youth Protection Act, alcohol regulation in road traffic), the seminars also provide self-regulatory rules of wine advertising as well as health effects of the use and abuse of alcoholic beverages in general and wine in particular. By means of questionnaires on the basic knowledge of the vocational students, the knowledge was assessed before the seminar (T1), immediately afterwards (T2) and about 6 months later (T3). The results of the last three years, as well as those of previous years, speak for the sustainable success of these information events.

Formation réussie sur la consommation responsable de vin en Allemagne

Les séminaires organisés dans les écoles professionnelles sur le thème « La consommation de vin entre plaisir et risque » font partie de la mise en œuvre en Allemagne du programme international de prévention « Le vin avec modération ». Outre les informations de base sur les questions juridiques, telles que les lois applicables (loi sur la protection de la jeunesse, réglementation de l’alcool dans le trafic routier), les séminaires fournissent également des règles d’autorégulation sur la publicité pour le vin ainsi que sur les effets sur la santé de l’usage et de l’abus de boissons alcoolisées en général et de vin en particulier. Au moyen de questionnaires sur les connaissances de base des élèves de l’enseignement professionnel, les connaissances ont été évaluées avant le séminaire (T1), immédiatement après (T2) et environ 6 mois plus tard (T3). Les résultats des trois dernières années, ainsi que ceux des années précédentes, témoignent du succès durable de ces événements d’information.

Erfolgreiche Schulung zu verantwortungsvollem Weinkonsum in Deutschland

Berufsschulseminare zum Thema „Weinkonsum zwischen Genuss und Risiko“ sind Teil der deutschen Umsetzung des internationalen Präventionsprogramms Wine in Moderation. Neben grundlegenden Informationen zu rechtlichen Fragen, wie z.B. den geltenden Gesetzen (Jugendschutzgesetz, Alkoholverordnung im Straßenverkehr), werden in den Seminaren auch Selbstkontrollregeln der Weinwerbung sowie gesundheitliche Auswirkungen des Konsums und Missbrauchs von alkoholischen Getränken im Allgemeinen und Wein im Besonderen vermittelt. Mit Hilfe von Fragebögen zum Grundwissen der Berufsschüler wurde das Wissen vor dem Seminar (T1), unmittelbar danach (T2) und etwa 6 Monate später (T3) erhoben. Die Ergebnisse der letzten drei Jahre, wie auch die der Vorjahre, sprechen für den nachhaltigen Erfolg dieser Informationsveranstaltungen.

Impact of winemaking practises on the formation of pinking

The pinking is a phenomenon that can occur in white wine produced with white grape causing the color change from yellow to red-salmon hue. Even if its appearance is highly variable and dependent to the vintage, the wines from certain grape varieties, such as Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Trebbiano di Lugana, have been identified to be more susceptible to the pinking.

Carbon footprint in Austrian viticulture – Evaluation of the main polluters and possible solutions in entire the production chain

The sustainability certification ‘nachhaltig austria’ (www.sustainableaustria.com) has been offered to austrian wineries in an online version for 10 years and over 25% of the austrian wine-growing area is now certified. Since the 2022 harvest, ‘nachhaltig austria’ has automatically calculated the carbon footprint for each winery, per hectare of vineyard, per litre of bulk wine and per 0.75-litre bottle (poelz, w. And rosner, f.g. 2023). In last year’s publications and numerous presentations at national and international level, topics such as refilling glass bottles, lightweight glass bottles, renewable energy, … Etc.

Effect of different plant fibers on the elimination of undesirable compounds in red wine 

The presence of undesirable compounds in wines, such as ota, biogenic amines and pesticides residues, affects wine quality and can cause health problems for the consumer. Additionally, an excess of tannins can produce an undesirable increase in the astringency and bitterness of the wine, so tannins are also a target for reduction. The main tool that a winemaker has to reduce their content in the wine is fining. However, some of the fining agents commonly used in the winery can cause allergies or even increase the protein content in the wine, increasing the turbidity.

Are all red wines equals regarding their vulnerability to Brettanomyces bruxellensis ?

Odours deemed harmful by the consumer and described as “stable”, “horse sweat” or “burnt plastic” can be found in wines. The responsible molecules are volatile phenols, produced by a spoilage yeast: brettanomyces bruxellensis. This species is particularly well adapted to the wine environment and can resists many stresses such as a high alcohol level, a low ph or high levels of SO2, more or less efficiently depending on the strain considered.
