Application de l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) à un domaine viticole

Résumé

L’Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) est une méthode multicritère qui permet de quantifier les impacts environnementaux associés à l’activité d’une entreprise sur l’ensemble de son cycle de vie et de guider les choix en vue de l’écoconception. Elle inclut par exemple des indicateurs liés aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre et à la capture de carbone, aux émissions de particules fines, à la consommation d’énergie ou à la pollution des eaux. Appliquée au domaine viticole du Château de l’Eclair, elle permet de renseigner sur les sources de pollutions les plus importantes de l’entreprise, mais aussi plus généralement de la filière. Les résultats permettent de mettre en évidence le poids important de la fabrication des bouteilles en verre dans le bilan environnemental du vin sur un grand nombre d’indicateurs, dont l’empreinte carbone. Toutefois, la mise en place d’un enherbement de l’inter-rang et le retour au sol des sarments à la vigne, permet d’après la modélisation, de séquestrer environ un quart des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de la production de vin. Les résultats montrent également le gain environnemental du passage en agriculture biologique sur l’indicateur écotoxicité de l’eau douce.

Application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method to a French winery

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a multi-criteria method for quantifying the environmental impacts associated with a company’s activity, and for guiding choices with a view to eco-design. It includes, for example, indicators relating to greenhouse gas emissions and carbon storage, fine particle emissions, energy consumption and water pollution. Applied to a winery, it provides information on the most significant sources of pollution for the company, but also more generally for the industry. The results show that the manufacture of glass bottles contributes significantly to the environmental impact of wine on many indicators, including the carbon footprint. However, the introduction of inter-row grassing and the return to the soil of vine shoots, according to the model, sequesters around a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions from wine production. The results also show the environmental benefits of switching to organic farming in terms of freshwater ecotoxicity.

Overview on wine and health 32 years after the French paradox 

Phenolic compounds or polyphenols are the most abundant and ubiquitous secondary metabolites present in the plant kingdom with more than 8000 phenolic structures currently known. These compounds play an important role in plant growth and reproduction, providing protection against biotic and abiotic stress such as pathogen and insect attack, UV radiation and wounding. (poly)phenols are widely distributed in the human diet mainly in plant-derived food and beverages (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, tea and red wine).

Applying value proposition design to collective strategic actions in family wineries: enhancing territorial resources in Vale dos Vinhedos, Brazil

The study aims to propose collective strategic actions for family wineries, promoting their competitiveness and the valorization of territorial resources.

Impact of yeast strains on wine profiles of nine PIWIs: focus on volatile thiols

Disease resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) are increasingly important for sustainable wine production, yet the impact of different yeasts on their wine profiles remains poorly studied. In this study, nine white interspecies varieties (i.e., caladris blanc, fleurtai, hibernal, johanniter, muscaris, sauvignon kretos, soreli, souvignier gris, and voltis) grown at the faculty of agriculture, university of Zagreb (Croatia) were vinified with three different saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts (control strain, zymaflore x5, and zymaflore xarom).

Distinctive flavour or taint? The case of smoky characters in wine

Forest fires in the vicinity of vineyards have significantly increased in the last decade and are a concern for grapegrowers and winemakers in many wine producing countries. The fires cause smoke drift throughout vineyards which cannot be avoided and may result in the production of wines described as ‘smoke tainted’. Such wines are characterized by undesirable sensory characters described as ‘smoky’, ‘burnt’, ‘ash’ aromas and flavours, and also may cause a lingering, unpleasant ashy aftertaste [1; 2].

Effects of wine versus de-alcoholised wine on the microbiota-gut-brain axis in a tau-pathology murine model of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common disorder associated with cognitive impairment and the main cause of dementia globally. Multiple evidence in the last decade suggest that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of AD via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, a network wherein microbiome and the central nervous system crosstalk via endocrine, immune, neural, and microbial metabolites signalling pathways.
