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.

The article presents the results of a study on the technological features of producing sparkling wines of the Pétillant Naturel (Pet-Nat) type, made using the ancestral method from the Muscat Ottonel and Pinot Noir grape varieties.

Correction de la teneur en alcool des vins par évaporation partielle sous vide en cours de fermentation alcoolique

Climate change has become a reality that is becoming more and more apparent every day, with changes in the physico-chemical composition of grapes and an increase in the alcohol content of finished wines. These higher alcoholic degrees are not without consequences for the success of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Correcting the alcohol content (-20% of the initial alcoholic strength) is also part of an approach designed to meet consumer expectations for healthier, lighter or lower-alcohol wines (9 to 13% vol.). Correcting the alcohol content of wines also rebalances the mouthfeel by reducing the alcohol’s burn.

Understanding wine as a sensory, emotional, and cognitive experience to promote and communicate conscious consumption

In the complex scenario that the wine industry and its promotion are currently facing, this research proposes a theoretical expansion of the traditional model used to understand the wine experience, namely the classic sensory, emotional and cognitive triad, moving toward a multidimensional approach that also incorporates cultural, symbolic and contextual dimensions in order to comprehend the conscious experience.

Distinctive flavour or taint? The case of smoky characters in wine

Forest fires in the vicinity of vineyards have significantly increased in the last decade and are a concern for grapegrowers and winemakers in many wine producing countries. The fires cause smoke drift throughout vineyards which cannot be avoided and may result in the production of wines described as ‘smoke tainted’. Such wines are characterized by undesirable sensory characters described as ‘smoky’, ‘burnt’, ‘ash’ aromas and flavours, and also may cause a lingering, unpleasant ashy aftertaste [1; 2].
