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.

Assessment of alternative sweetening methods for dealcoholized wine

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for non-alcoholic wine with an ethanol content of less than 0.5% v/v. The dealcoholization process can take place by various methods, such as vacuum distillation or membrane technologies like osmotic distillation. Compared to distillation, membrane systems often require multiple passes or a combination of multiple separation methods. Complete or almost complete removal of ethanol significantly changes the sensory characteristics of wine.

Market entry strategies in the U.S. alcohol distribution: The case of French wine exporters

This study examines the different strategies adopted by wine exporters located in France for penetrating international alcohol distribution networks in the U.S. market (and to a lesser extent the Canadian market). Grounded in the Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing literature (Ellegaard and Medlin, 2018), this study adopts a framework integrating a ‘Stakeholder’ approach for understanding the logics behind exporters’ strategies to penetrate the alcohol distribution networks (wholesalers, importers, alcohol monopolies).

Reduce sulfur dioxide addition using a natural polymer chitosan phytate

Most oxidation reactions in wine require iron as a catalyst. The iron content of wine has decreased greatly in recent decades due to the use of low or no release cellar materials; however, in some cases it is still necessary to adopt winemaking practices to remove excess iron from wine, prevent its oxidation, and be able to reduce the addition of sulfur dioxide and other antioxidants.

Influence of soil management and vine water regime on leaf gas exchange, berry composition and quality of Chasselas wines in Switzerland

A soil management and vine irrigation trial was carried out for 4 consecutive years from 2020 to 2023 at agroscope’s experimental vineyard in leytron (Valais, Switzerland) with the Chasselas grape variety (clone 14-33/4, grafted on 5bb). Two types of soil maintenance (bare soil with chemical weeding and sown grass) coupled with two water regimes (with and without drip irrigation from flowering to veraison) were compared in a randomized design with four replicates of 10 vines each.

Chitosan from mushroom by-products: sustainable extraction process and winemaking application

Chitosan is a biopolymer industrially obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, after cellulose. It is extracted from various terrestrial and marine resources, including insects, grasshoppers, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, squids, and fungi. chitosan has a polycationic character due to the free amine groups along its chemical backbone, and depending on its deacetylation degree (DD) and molecular weight (MW), it shows variable properties that differ from those of other natural polysaccharides.
