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.

Isotopes to distinguish production system in Brazilian viticulture

Organic viticulture integrates practices aimed at foresting positive relationships among, vines, soil, and climate, with a focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental protection. To safeguard production integrity, regulatory bodies worldwide conduct organic certifications in accordance with relevant regulations. Considering that agriculture practices influence the nitrogen, carbon and oxygen isotope composition, the study aimed to investigate the response of these isotopes in grape must cultivated by organic, biodynamic and conventional methods to distinguish between production systems.

Oenological potential of wines and agronomical characterisation of grapes from five white resistant Italian varieties at Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil

Rio grande do sul is the main grape producing state in Brazil, with the largest wine-growing area, responsible by 90% of the national production of wines and grape juices. Serra Gaúcha is the main vitivinicultural region, where around 15% of the area is destined to produce wines from vitis vinifera L. grapes. This region presents high rainfall during the grape maturation cycle, a factor that leads to great risk of attacks by fungal pathogens. the use of resistant varieties can reduce the cost and quantity of spraying, improving wine quality, focusing on a sustainable vitiviniculture.
