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.

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).

Is complex nutrition more advantageous than mineral nitrogen for the fermentative capacities of S. cerevisiae?

During alcoholic fermentation, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for yeast as it plays a key role in sugar transport and biosynthesis of wine aromatic compounds (thiols, esters, higher alcohols). The main issue of a lack in yeast assimilable nitrogen (yan) in winemaking is sluggish or stuck fermentations promoting the growth of alteration species which may lead to economic losses. However, correcting this nitrogen deficiency is sometimes not enough to restore proper fermentation performance. This suggests the existence of other nutritional shortages.

Consumer acceptance of sweet wines produced by stopping fermentation with octanoic and decanoic acids

The use of medium chain fatty acids for arresting the fermentation and producing sweet wines was investigated at industrial level. Doses of 10 mg/l of octanoic or decanoic acid and a combination of 5+5 mg/l octanoic and decanoic acid were used to produce sweet wines of tamaioasa romanească variety in volumes of 3000 l.

Closure permeability modulates the aroma expression of monovarietal white wines during bottle ageing

Bottle ageing is a critical period for wine quality, as it undergoes various chemical and sensory changes during storage. Ideally, a phase of qualitative ageing, during which wine sensory quality improves, is followed by a decline of quality. Understanding how different oenological variables influence these phases is a key challenge in modern winemaking. Recent studies highlighted the significant role of oxygen in modulating reactions involving volatile and non-volatile components, impacting aroma evolution during bottle aging. Oxygen exposure of wine during bottle ageing is mediated by closure.

New oenological technology for adaptation to climate change: reduction of alcohol content during wine fermentation through stripping, with fermentative CO2

The capture and valorization of fermentative CO2 have been developed for several years by the company w platform for internal uses, notably in the cellars: inerting, cooling, reduction of water consumption, extraction, with aroma valorization. In a context of climatic warming during the vegetative cycle, grapes are currently harvested with a significant sugar concentration, a phenomenon that is expected to intensify in the coming decades. The high alcohol content of the resulting wines goes against the demand of customers who are seeking high-quality wines with less alcohol.
