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.

Assessment of antimicrobial effect of chitosan extracted from different sources against unwanted wine microorganisms

During wine production process high attention to the microbiological control from fermentation of the grape must to bottling is necessary. In fact, control of the indigenous microflora of the grape ensures correct fermentation activity of the inoculated starter, while control of the microorganisms in the finished wine is essential to prevent wine spoilage and to ensure the dominance of the desired bacteria when malolactic fermentation is required (Mas and Portillo, 2022).

Exploring the dynamic between yeast mannoproteins structure and wine stability

Mannoproteins are macromolecules found on the surface of yeast cells, composed of hyperbranched polysaccharide negatively charged chains by mannosyl-phosphate groups, fixed to a protein core. during the alcoholic fermentation and aging on lees, these mannoproteins are released from the yeast cell wall and become the main yeast-sourced polysaccharide in wine. due to their techno-functional properties, commercial preparations of mannoproteins can be used as additives to better assure tartaric and protein stability.

The heritage behind the very old vineyards – The novelty with tradition for the future 

In Portugal, the prospection and conservation of representative samples of intra-varietal variability of grapevine has been carried out for 46 years, and in 2010 an infrastructure was created for the conservation of all these genetic resources – the portuguese association for grapevine diversity (porvid) experimental centre for the conservation of grapevine diversity. the aim is to save the genetic identity of ancient varieties to prevent their imminent loss and to preserve the raw material for current and future selections, thus adding economic value and sustainability to the vine and wine sector.

Sustainability and resilience in the wine sector

Resilience and sustainability are two fundamental concepts in the sustainable development of the wine sector, being closely interconnected.

Phenolic composition and physicochemical analysis of wines made with the syrah grape under double pruning in the Brazilian high-altitude cerrado

Wine growing has proven to be a development opportunity for agribusiness in several new regions of brazil, including the federal district. There are more than ten existing wineries, established in the last five years. Through the double pruning system, which consists of trimming the growing shoots in the summer and positioning the ripening of the fruits in a cooler period of the season, the grapes are sought to ripen more completely. The syrah variety has shown excellent adaptation to this cycle management model.
