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.

A population genetic study of Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris Gmelin based on 3.000 individuals from 20 countries

Until the 19th century, the wild form of cultivated grapevines (vitis vinifera l. subsp. sylvestris gmelin, v. sylvestris) was ubiquitous in many european and west asian regions. However, many factors like deforestation, the intensification of agriculture, or the introduction of several pests and pathogens decimated its presence in these growing sites, and natural populations are now mostly restricted to river-bank forests and creeks with specific soil and climate conditions. in fact, v. sylvestris is now considered an endangered subspecies that is protected by law in many european countries to prevent its loss.

Gastrointestinal digestion of wine sulphites and their effects on human gut microbiota

Sulphites are by far the most widely used additive in the wine industry. In relation to health, the interaction of sulphites with the gut microbiota has not been addressed so far. Following the consumption of wine and other sulphite-containing foods, the gastrointestinal tract and the microbiome are one of the first barriers that these compounds face in the human organism. In this study, we used a previously validated gastrointestinal digestion model (SIMGI®) [1,2] to evaluate the effect of intestinal digestion of wine sulphites on the gut microbiome.

SAVOIR: A project promoting innovative and effective prophylactic methods in viticulture, as part of the governmental plan to anticipate the withdrawal of plant protection products in France (PARSADA)

Faced with the likely withdrawal of commercial specialities from use in the short to medium term, France has decided to implement an ambitious action plan to anticipate and avoid withdrawal without alternative solutions. The French wine industry (cniv and ifv) has been heavily involved in this action to define priorities. faced with the risk of the withdrawal of multi-site fungicides (folpel, dithianon, copper) coupled with the probable reduction in single-site fungicide solutions, mildew and black rot have been identified as the priority uses.

Innovative strategies for reducing astringency in Mandilaria wines 

Mandilaria, a red grape variety indigenous to the Aegean islands, is well known for its robust tannins and pronounced astringency, which can challenge the palatability and marketability of its wines. The aim of this study was the reduction of astringency in wines made exclusively from mandilaria grapes through dehydrations practices and targeted winery applications.
