Gestión de la mitigación por las empresas vitivinícolas: combinar sostenibilidad y rentabilidad

Resumen

La transición hacia una economía descarbonizada requiere que las empresas adopten medidas de mitigación. El sector vitivinícola es uno de los más interesados en ello. En base a estudios previos, se han formulado dos hipótesis. La primera es que las bodegas que no destinan recursos específicos a gestionar la sostenibilidad toman decisiones de mitigación sin optimizar la rentabilidad económica y ambiental. La segunda es que la cultura organizacional de la empresa condiciona la adopción de medidas de mitigación. Siguiendo este camino, el proyecto Vid-Expert ha creado un sistema digital de apoyo a la gestión de la mitigación para las empresas vitivinícolas. Su objetivo es facilitar a los profesionales del vino la selección de medidas óptimas para su caso concreto. A partir de las Recomendaciones Metodológicas de la OIV, se ha construido un catálogo de medidas disponibles. Con los datos ingresados por el usuario, una herramienta de software avanzado calcula la huella de carbono de la organización, identifica las fuentes de emisión relevantes y sugiere las medidas de mitigación correspondientes. Las sugerencias priorizan las medidas por su relación costo-beneficio y su afinidad con las características de la empresa. El sistema permite el seguimiento de gestión a lo largo del tiempo.

Managing mitigation by wine companies: how to combine sustainability and profitability

The transition to a decarbonised economy requires companies to take mitigation measures. The wine sector is one of the most interested in this. Based on previous studies, two hypotheses have been formulated. The first is that wineries that do not allocate specific resources to sustainability management make mitigation decisions without optimising economic and environmental profitability. The second is that the organisational culture of the company conditions the adoption of mitigation measures. Following this path, the Vid-Expert project has created a digital mitigation management support system for wine companies. It aims to make it easier for wine professionals to select the optimal measures for their specific case. Based on the Methodological Recommendations of the OIV, a catalogue of available measures has been constructed. With the data entered by the user, an advanced software tool calculates the carbon footprint of the organisation, identifies the relevant emission sources and suggests corresponding mitigation measures. The suggestions prioritise the measures according to their cost-benefit ratio and their affinity with the characteristics of the company. The system enables management tracking over time.

Gestion des mesures d’atténuation par les entreprises vinicoles : allier durabilité et rentabilité

La transition vers une économie décarbonée exige des entreprises qu’elles prennent des mesures d’atténuation. Le secteur vitivinicole est l’un des plus intéressés par cette question. Sur la base d’études antérieures, deux hypothèses ont été formulées. La première est que les entreprises vinicoles qui n’allouent pas de ressources spécifiques à la gestion de la durabilité prennent des décisions d’atténuation sans optimiser la rentabilité économique et environnementale. La seconde est que la culture organisationnelle de l’entreprise conditionne l’adoption de mesures d’atténuation. Dans cette optique, le projet Vid-Expert a créé un système numérique d’aide à la gestion des mesures d’atténuation pour les entreprises vinicoles. Il vise à permettre aux professionnels du vin de sélectionner plus facilement les mesures optimales pour leur cas spécifique. Sur la base des recommandations méthodologiques de l’OIV, un catalogue des mesures disponibles a été élaboré. À partir des données saisies par l’utilisateur, un outil logiciel avancé calcule l’empreinte carbone de l’organisation, identifie les sources d’émission pertinentes et propose des mesures d’atténuation correspondantes. Les suggestions classent les mesures par ordre de priorité en fonction de leur rapport coût-bénéfice et de leur affinité avec les caractéristiques de l’entreprise. Le système permet un suivi de la gestion dans le temps.

Inactivated yeasts: a case study for the future of precision enology

Yeasts serve as highly versatile tools in oenology. They do more than just perform alcoholic fermentation. Nowadays, yeasts from various species, naturally present in grapes, are selected for specific non-fermentative applications. For example, the use of selected non-saccharomyces at the early stage of winemaking has become a common practice to limit the growth of unwanted microorganisms. When inactivated, yeasts can be fractionated into soluble and insoluble fractions providing a wide range of benefits related to structural components or specific metabolites.

New markers for monitoring “fresh mushroom aroma” in wine: A dual approach using microbiological and chemical tools from the vineyard to winery–A synthesis of recent research advances

The ‘fresh mushroom off-flavour’ has been recognized by the wine industry as an emerging defect since the 2000s. For many years, this off-flavour was not specifically characterized and rather grouped under ‘earthy’ and ‘musty’ taints. However, it has become increasingly problematic due to its rising prevalence. In some vineyards, incidents of this off-flavour now occur as frequently as once every five years. This trend may be associated with climatic changes affecting regions that are more prone to warm and wet seasons.

Ozone to improve the implantation of Lachancea thermotolerans for improving pH in warm areas in wines with low SO2 levels

Una de las biotecnologías más potentes para disminuir el pH en vinos de zonas cálidas y en variedades de pH elevado es el uso de la levadura no-saccharomyces lachancea thermotolerans. Esta especie es capaz de formar ácido láctico a partir de azúcares, reduciendo al mismo tiempo ligeramente el grado alcohólico. Por lo tanto, mejora dos de los principales problemas de los vinos de regiones afectadas por el calentamiento global. El ácido láctico es un ácido orgánico con una buena integración sensorial en el sabor del vino, y también química y biológicamente estable durante el envejecimiento del vino.

Evidence of successful wine business strategies: customer acquisition, value or retention?

This presentation illustrates a series of successful wine businesses, which have managed to counter the downward trend impacting the global industry. How these businesses have been successful is explained through the planning and execution of strategies that focused on a clear and consistent aim in attracting new consumers. These cases add weight to the ehrenbergian position that for a business to be successful it must target new customers as a priority over alternative options like increasing value or improving customer retention.

Assessment of antimicrobial effect of chitosan extracted from different sources against unwanted wine microorganisms

During wine production process high attention to the microbiological control from fermentation of the grape must to bottling is necessary. In fact, control of the indigenous microflora of the grape ensures correct fermentation activity of the inoculated starter, while control of the microorganisms in the finished wine is essential to prevent wine spoilage and to ensure the dominance of the desired bacteria when malolactic fermentation is required (Mas and Portillo, 2022).
