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.

The bottleneck/cork interface: A key parameter for wine aging in bottle

The shelf life of wine is a major concern for the wine industry. This is particularly true for wines intended for long cellaring, which are supposed to reach their peak after an ageing period ranging from a few months to several years, or even decades. Low, controlled oxygen inputs through the closure system are generally necessary for the wine to evolve towards its optimum organoleptic characteristics. Our previous studies have already shown that the interface between the cork and the bottleneck plays a crucial role in the transfer of oxygen into the bottled wine.

Technical efficiency and socio-environmental sustainability in the wine sector: tradeoff or complementarity? Evidence from Italy

In recent decades, sustainability has risen to prominence across various industries, including agriculture, spurred by initiatives such as the new common agricultural policy and the farm to fork strategy within the European Union. Among agricultural activities, viticulture stands as a crucial player in sustainability, intertwining environmental, social, and economic dimensions, as exemplified by the OIV general principles of sustainable viticulture. Italy, one of the main players in the global wine market, has long been making efforts towards the introduction of sustainability-oriented practices and certifications.

Successful training on responsible wine consumption in Germany

Considering that „prevention requires information”, in 2007, the european education program wine in moderation (wim) started. The common message of responsible and only moderate wine consumption is implemented in each participating country, adapted to national circumstances. In germany, besides recruiting new wim members from the wine sector, the deutsche weinakademie focusses also on information and education of future wine makers and cellar men in professional schools. The seminars cover basic information about the existing legal framework (youth protecting law, drink driving laws, etc.), the self regulation code of conduct for commercial communications (advertising) of alcoholic beverages as well as the health effects of alcoholic beverages, and of wine in particular.

Viticultural landscape: history of a challenging coexistence between grapevines and humans 

Vitis vinifera is the most grown grapevine species, which originated about 6 million years ago in the trans-caucasian area as the ancestral (wild) type v. Vinifera spp. Sylvestris. On the other hand, the human being (homo sapiens) is much younger since he originated about 300.000 years ago in north africa.
