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.

Wine industry, digital transformation, and sustainability: a systematic literature 

This paper aims to (i) identify the state of the art regarding digital transformation in the transition to sustainability in the wine industry, (ii) analyze the adoption of digital technologies at different stages of the winemaking process and their contribution to the triple bottom line of sustainability, and (iii) present a research agenda that facilitates the development of the field, providing contributions to both literature and managerial practice.

Genetic traceability of the varietal origin of wines: a robust application for must and wines during alcoholic fermentation

Industry and regulatory agencies have developed regulations to ensure authenticity and compliance with wine composition limits. However, this can be truncated by the absence of simple and robust analytical methodologies, uninfluenced by the environment, different oenological techniques and cultural practices. Genetic fingerprinting is the most powerful tool for unequivocal varietal identification; it is not affected by the environment or agronomic practices; however, its usefulness in musts and wines has been controversial and there is currently no routine certification of varietal origin based on DNA analysis.

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.

Training vineyards resilience to environmental variations by managing vine water use

The challenges of the century for viticulture relate to coping with climate change and the loss of biodiversity in a downturning socio-economic context. Now more than ever, the vine and wine industry needs to be resilient to maintain and ensure a future for its heritage. An innovation of capital importance, in line with recently published research, deals with developing new methods of training our inherited and newly planted vineyards to better withstand environmental variations such as drought and heatwaves but also unevenly distributed rains and temperatures.

Use of cyclodextrins to improve grape must fermentability thanks to their sequestering effect on medium-chain fatty acids

Cyclodextrins are complex cyclic oligosaccharides of glucose units. They are produced from the breakdown of starch by the enzymatic reaction of glucosyltransferase. The result is a ring-shaped molecule with a cavity with a hydrophilic outer part and a hydrophobic inner part. As a consequence of this cavity, cyclodextrin is able to form complexes with non-polar organic molecules [1,2].
