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.

Viticultura protegida: uso de mallas sombreadoras fotoselectivas como una herramienta para enfrentar la crisis climática en uva de mesa en el norte de Chile

The production of table grapes in Chile is of great importance, being one of the main established fruit crops with over 43,000 hectares distributed across a diverse climate range, from the southern limit of the Atacama desert to the mediterranean zone. Chile is also one of the leading exporters of table grapes. producers must confront the challenges posed by the climate crisis, such as decreased rainfall, increased heatwaves, and extreme temperature events during the growing season, mainly associated with desertification in northern Chile (Atacama and Coquimbo regions).

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.

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.

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.

The Baco Blanc, the Armagnac hybrid variety adapted to the viticultural challenges of tomorrow

Today in the wine industry, a lot of alternatives are available for reducing phytosanitary inputs. Among these, prophylaxis, the use of biocontrol products and the deployment of pathogen-resistant vines are the most promising. eugenol (2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-phenol), a molecule with recognised antifungal properties, can contribute to the last two alternatives. This molecule has been identified as an endogenous compound in the baco blanc hybrid variety used in armagnac pdo, which is at least tolerant to botrytis cinerea.
