La producción vitivinícola como fuente de impactos positivos en el medio seminatural

Resumen

El sector del vino está abordando el camino hacia la sostenibilidad, mitigando el cambio climático, adaptándose a él, implantando la economía circular, etc. El proyecto europeo LIFE CLIMAWIN se propone colaborar en este proceso, mostrando técnicas novedosas para convertir el conjunto de viñedo y bodega en un modelo de sostenibilidad. Se ha elegido como demostración un caso de estudio muy significativo situado en la región vinícola de Ribera del Duero (España). El proyecto incluye varias acciones técnicas. Una de ellas relativa al uso y gestión del suelo, incluyendo la producción y uso de biochar, reduciendo las emisiones de N2O y CH4. Otra de las acciones técnicas aborda la captura y uso del CO2 liberado durante la fermentación alcohólica, desplazando la compra de CO2 y reduciendo el uso de HFC. El agua extraída de un acuífero subterráneo se utiliza para mejorar la eficiencia de la bomba de calor del sistema de refrigeración y climatización, reduciendo la demanda de energía eléctrica. Para evitar los impactos de construir una línea eléctrica en el paraje natural, se ha incorporado una microrred aislada inteligente, basada en generación renovable. Finalmente, se evalúan los impactos sobre el medio ambiente y sobre el empleo y la economía locales.

Wine production as a source of positive impacts on the semi-natural environment

The wine sector is tackling the path towards sustainability, mitigating climate change, adapting to it, implementing circular economy practices, etc. The European LIFE CLIMAWIN project aims to collaborate in this process by demonstrating innovative techniques to turn the vineyard and winery into a model of sustainability. A very significant case study located in the Ribera del Duero wine region (Spain) has been chosen as a demonstration hub. The project includes several technical actions. One of them concerns soil use and management, including the production and use of biochar, reducing N2O and CH4 emissions. Another technical action addresses the capture and use of CO2 released during alcoholic fermentation, displacing the purchase of CO2 and reducing the use of HFCs. Water extracted from an underground aquifer is used to improve the efficiency of the heat pump of the cooling and air-conditioning system, reducing the demand for electricity. To avoid the impacts of building a power line in the natural site, a smart stand-alone microgrid based on renewable generation has been incorporated. Finally, the impacts on the environment and on local employment and the local economy are assessed.

Le secteur vitivinicole s’engage sur la voie de la durabilité, de l’atténuation du changement climatique, de l’adaptation à ce dernier, de la mise en œuvre de pratiques d’économie circulaire, etc. Le projet européen LIFE CLIMAWIN vise à collaborer à ce processus en démontrant des techniques innovantes pour transformer le vignoble et la cave en un modèle de durabilité. Une étude de cas très significative située dans la région viticole de Ribera del Duero (Espagne) a été choisie comme centre de démonstration. Le projet comprend plusieurs actions techniques. L’une d’entre elles concerne l’utilisation et la gestion des sols, y compris la production et l’utilisation de biochar, réduisant ainsi les émissions de N2O et de CH4. Une autre action technique porte sur la capture et l’utilisation du CO2 libéré lors de la fermentation alcoolique, ce qui permet de remplacer l’achat de CO2 et de réduire l’utilisation de HFC. L’eau extraite d’un aquifère souterrain est utilisée pour améliorer l’efficacité de la pompe à chaleur du système de refroidissement et de climatisation, réduisant ainsi la demande d’électricité. Pour éviter l’impact de la construction d’une ligne électrique sur le site naturel, un micro-réseau autonome intelligent basé sur la production d’énergie renouvelable a été incorporé. Enfin, les impacts sur l’environnement, l’emploi local et l’économie locale sont évalués.

Analyses of a long-term soil temperature record for the prediction of climate change induced soil carbon changes and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards

The evaluation of the current and future impact of climate change on viticulture requires an integrated view on a complex interacting system within the soil-plant-atmospheric continuum under continuous change. Aside of the globally observed increase in temperature in almost all viticulture regions for at least four decades, we observe several clear trends at the regional level in the ratio of precipitation to potential evapotranspiration. Additionally the recently published 6th assessment report of the ipcc (the physical science basis) shows case-dependent further expected shifts in climate patterns which will have substantial impacts on the way we will conduct viticulture in the decades to come.

Isolation of indigenous yeast strains from the Purcari and Trifești wine centers in the Republic of Moldova and evaluation of their impact on the quality of dry red wines

In the conducted research, 30 yeast strains from red grape varieties were isolated from the Purcari wine center, and 28 yeast strains from red grape varieties were isolated from the Trifești wine center in the Republic of Moldova.

Actual challenges and the need to produce alternative products from red grapes rich in phenols and antioxidants

The global consumption of wine has undergone significant changes after several years of covid-19, which was the beginning of a global crisis of the current century. This pushed some people to start looking for comfort and security as they felt that the world around them was losing these benefits. In most cases, this has led to them to idea of rethinking their lives in an attempt to live better or continuing to stay true to their habits and lifestyles despite the pressure of changes. Alcohol in any form is a part of these reactions, leading to increased consumption in the early stages of a crisis, particularly in relation to anxiety.

Transforming the grapevine world through new breeding techniques

Climate change and environmental degradation are existential threats to europe and the world. One of the most important objectives is to reduce by 2030 the use and the risk of chemical pesticides and fertilisers, reducing nutrient losses and increasing organic farming. Grapevine (vitis spp.) is one of the major and most economically important fruit crops worldwide. It is characterised by high levels of genetic diversity, as result of natural genetic mutations, which are common in grapevines and further assisted by ongoing vegetative propagation.
