Technical innovation and quality control of wine production in China

Abstract

Recent decades have witnessed an evolving trend of diverse product types, improved quality, and green, low-carbon, and sustainable development in chinese wine market. A quality evaluation system, namely, with a dual orientation of “flavor compounds” and “sensory evaluation” is used as guidance for winemaking innovation in china. More diverse and personalized products catering for consumer market are produced by characterization of terroir of each wine region, exploitation of indigenous wine yeasts, and the application of modern analysis technology and artificial intelligent systems for wine blending. And such trends enable wine production to progress with precise technology, prominent product style, and diverse product types. The visual expression of product quality for consumers makes wine products more acceptable by general public. Meanwhile, a comprehensive quality evaluation system for products has been established, with indices including quality and safety, flavor profiles, sensory quality, labeling, consumer preferences, and green packaging, thereby effectively promoting the high-quality and sustainable development of wine industry in China.

Innovation technologique et contrôle de la qualité du vin chinois

Ces dernières années, le marché chinois du vin a connu une tendance à la diversification des produits, à l’amélioration de la qualité et à un développement vert, durable et à faible émission de carbone. Le système d’évaluation de la qualité axé sur « l’indice de saveur » et « l’évaluation sensorielle » a été utilisé pour guider l’innovation du processus de vinification, l’exploration du terroir dans différentes régions de production, la sélection et l’application de levures nologiques et de levures non-saccharomyces, et l’utilisation de la technologie analytique moderne et du système d’intelligence experte pour l’assemblage et le mélange des produits vinicoles, afin de produire des produits plus personnalisés qui répondent aux besoins des consommateurs. Cela conduit à un savoir-faire plus précis, aux styles plus distinctifs et aux vins plus variés. L’expression visuelle de la qualité des produits, orientée vers les consommateurs, a rendu le vin plus acceptable pour un plus grand nombre de personnes ; en même temps, un système complet d’évaluation de la qualité basé sur des indices de qualité et de sécurité, des indices de qualité de saveur, des indices de qualité sensorielle, des indices d’étiquetage, des préférences des consommateurs, des indices d’emballage écologique et des autres indices de qualité des produits a été mis en place. Cela favorise efficacement le développement durable de haute qualité de l’industrie vinicole chinoise.

Innovación tecnológica y control de calidad del vino chino

En los últimos años, el mercado vitivinícola chino ha mostrado una tendencia de desarrollo verde y bajo en carbono y sostenible con una variedad de productos, mejora de la calidad. El sistema de evaluación de la calidad orientado tanto a los “indicadores de sabor” como a la “evaluación sensorial” se utiliza para guiar la innovación en el proceso cervecero,la excavación de loccluded en cada región productora, la selección y aplicación de levadura cervecera autóctona y no cervecera, y el uso de técnicas analíticas modernas y sistemas inteligentes expertos para la mezcla de productos vitivinícolas con el fin de producir productos más personalizados que satisfagan las necesidades de los consumidores;haciendo que los productos vitivinícolas se desarrollen hacia procesos más precisos, estilos más prominentes y tipos más ricos, y la expresión visual de la calidad del producto para los consumidores haga que el vino sea aceptado por más personas;al mismo tiempo, se ha formado un sistema integral de evaluación de la calidad de los productos, como indicadores de calidad y seguridad, indicadores de calidad del sabor, indicadores de calidad sensorial, indicadores de etiquetado, preferencias de los consumidores e indicadores de embalaje verde, que ha promovido eficazmente el desarrollo sostenible de alta calidad de la industria vitivinícola china.

NAVIC–20 years of a lean management model for wine business R&D

Considering That Innovation Supports A Company’s Competitive Advantage And Drive Higher Profits (Dogru A. & Peyrette J., 2022), A Key Challenge Of Wine Companies Is Getting Practitioners To Understand That Innovation-Related Wine Research Increases The Likelihood Of Competitive Advantage, Bringing Financial Success. A Continued And Enhanced Investment In Research Is, Thus, A Prerequisite For Commercial Success In Today’s Globalized And Competitive Wine Industry (Høj P., Pretorius I.S., & Day R., 2003).

Le réseau français des partenaires de la sélection vigne : un dispositif unique au monde au service de la sauvegarde du patrimoine variétal

The French vine selection partners network is currently made up of 40 regional partners, grouped around IFV (French Institute for Vine and Wine) and INRAE (national research institute for agriculture and environment), whose missions are preservation, selection, and innovation of our varietal diversity. The originality of this device is based on a 3-level organisation: – varietal diversity preservation, with the world reference: the INRAE’s vine genetics resources centre of Vassal-Montpellier (Marseillan, France), the world’s largest ampelographic collection, which includes nearly 6 000 accessions of cultivated Vitis vinifera from 54 countries, as well as rootstocks, interspecific hybrids, wild vines (lambrusques) and wild American and Asian species.

Smoke tainted wine – what now?

The frequency of bushfires close to wine regions around the world has increased in the last two decades. The economic losses incurred when grapes and wines are discarded due to ‘smoke taint’ are substantial (i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars). Efforts to mitigate and ameliorate smoke taint are therefore crucial. Chardonnay, rosé and cabernet sauvignon wines made from grapes exposed to smoke during the 2020 wildfires in eastern Australia were subjected to various amelioration techniques: the addition of activated carbons, molecularly imprinted polymers (mips), and a proprietary resin (either directly, or following membrane filtration); spinning cone column (scc) distillation; and finally, transformation into vinegar.

Do we have convergence or divergence in firms’ production and business practices in the global wine industry? 

Wine production is a globally significant and intricate industry, characterized by diverse regions, grape varieties, and producers. Competitive advantage in wine production and marketing arises from localized natural attributes known as terroir, combined with transferable expertise in agronomic practices, winemaking methods, packaging, distribution, and marketing. Wine is a very globalized product with 40% of the total output exported. Globalization has prompted discussions on convergence of business and production practices across industries, driven by technological progress and adoption of international standards. However, persisting differences in cultural norms, institutional frameworks, and regulatory environments hinder full convergence.

Critical investigation on additions to improve the sensory characteristics of dealcoholized wine

The demand for dealcoholized wine has been progressively increasing in recent years. Moreover, the attention for such products is probably increasing even more. Due to that increasing demand and market awareness the legal authorities are about changing rules for that products. Also, at OIV level, these products are being intensively discussed for certain time. The production of dealcoholized wine bases on wine as initial product. This wine is then reduced by physical methods to an alcohol content of less than 0.5% vol., or in other words, to less than 4g/l of alcohol. There are various technologies are possible for producing dealcoholized wine (Schmitt and Christmann 2019).
