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.

Impacts of climate change on wine producer countries located north of the wine belt

Climate change poses significant challenges to the global wine sector, with cool-climate countries particularly vulnerable to its effects. The research employs a panel data analysis to investigate the impact of climate change on the wine industry in 66 countries, focusing on 11 cool-climate countries located north of the wine belt in the northern hemisphere. Utilizing data from OIV, FAO and climatic statistics from the climate change knowledge portal of the world bank spanning from 1961 to 2020, the research examines the relationship between temperature, precipitation, and wine production.

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].

Study of the oenological potential of varieties resistant to cryptogamic diseases and drought to anticipate varietal selection in Occitanie

In the context of climate change and the growing need to reduce the use of phytosanitary products, the exploration of disease-resistant grape varieties and/or adapted to drought conditions is becoming crucial for the wine industry in certain regions of France, such as Occitanie. Currently, exploring the oenological potential of varieties by analyzing their biochemical composition before and after winemaking comes rather late in the varietal selection process.

Use of fumaric acid on must or during alcoholic fermentation

Fumaric acid has been approved by the OIV in 2021 for its application on wine to control the growth and activity of lactic acid bacteria. Fumaric acid is currently being evaluated by the OIV as an acidifier of must and wine. Investigations during the 2023 vintage provided further information on its use on must or during AF, thus completing information provided during the previous vintage.

Produce wines with no quantifiable phytosanitary residues – Impact of washing grapes?

Consumer expectations are increasingly shifting towards “residue-free wines.” However, from an analytical standpoint, “zero” does not exist. Laboratories often use the quantification limits of analysis methods to signify ‘zero.’ Improved techniques now allow for the quantification of levels that were previously undetectable. This is why we prefer to use the term “unquantifiable residue” rather than “absence of residues.”
