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.

Carbon footprint in Austrian viticulture – Evaluation of the main polluters and possible solutions in entire the production chain

The sustainability certification ‘nachhaltig austria’ (www.sustainableaustria.com) has been offered to austrian wineries in an online version for 10 years and over 25% of the austrian wine-growing area is now certified. Since the 2022 harvest, ‘nachhaltig austria’ has automatically calculated the carbon footprint for each winery, per hectare of vineyard, per litre of bulk wine and per 0.75-litre bottle (poelz, w. And rosner, f.g. 2023). In last year’s publications and numerous presentations at national and international level, topics such as refilling glass bottles, lightweight glass bottles, renewable energy, … Etc.

Low and zero alcohol “wines”: impact of different dealcoholization processes on phenol profile and health benefits

Consumers’ demand for non-alcoholic wine has notably increased in the last years: this trend is a consequence of a growing interest in more healthy habits, and as a response to higher alcohol levels in wine due to climate change. In addition, drinking limitations due to physiological/pathological conditions (e.g., pregnancy, diabetes, hepatic disorders), driving regulations, ethical/religious considerations, and high import taxes on alcoholic beverages have positively influenced this marked (us$ 1.6 billion in 2021). International organisation of vine and wine (OIV) established that alcohol content defining wines must not be less than 8.5% vol, (OIV, 2017).

Colloids in red wines: new insights from recent research

Despite their significant impact on wine quality and stability, colloids in red wine remain relatively under-researched. A series of studies, developed in the context of the d-wines project, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure, composition, and formation mechanisms of red wine colloids by studying monovarietal wines from 10 of the most significant Italian red grape varieties. Starting from the idea that proteins, polysaccharides, and tannins should be involved in colloid formation, 110 monovarietal red wines were analysed for these components, revealing high inter- and intra-varietal diversity [1].
