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 Shield4Grape project to improve the sustainability of European viticulture

Grapevine (vitis spp.) Is one of the major and most economically important fruit crops worldwide. Unlike other cropping systems, viticulture has ancient historical connections with the development of human culture and with the socio-cultural background of grape-growing areas. The vitis genus 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.

Agri-photovoltaics: first experience above Riesling vines

Agri-photovoltaics (apv) describes the dual use of an agricultural area for food production and solar power generation. There are already a number of systems in operation around the world with various crops and under a wide range of different set-ups. In large parts, they still allow mechanical cultivation and other positive side effects of an APV system were observed in addition to the increase in utilization in the form of electricity and food: effects on the water balance and passive protection against extreme weather events.

Are all red wines equals regarding their vulnerability to Brettanomyces bruxellensis ?

Odours deemed harmful by the consumer and described as “stable”, “horse sweat” or “burnt plastic” can be found in wines. The responsible molecules are volatile phenols, produced by a spoilage yeast: brettanomyces bruxellensis. This species is particularly well adapted to the wine environment and can resists many stresses such as a high alcohol level, a low ph or high levels of SO2, more or less efficiently depending on the strain considered.

Critical investigation on additions to improve the sensory characteristics of dealcoholized wine

The demand for dealcoholized wine has been progressively increasing in recent years. Moreover, the attention for such products is probably increasing even more. Due to that increasing demand and market awareness the legal authorities are about changing rules for that products. Also, at OIV level, these products are being intensively discussed for certain time. The production of dealcoholized wine bases on wine as initial product. This wine is then reduced by physical methods to an alcohol content of less than 0.5% vol., or in other words, to less than 4g/l of alcohol. There are various technologies are possible for producing dealcoholized wine (Schmitt and Christmann 2019).

Vine selection in France: An assessment after more than 60 years of work

It was at the end of the second world war that professor Branas laid the foundations of french vine selection. He was also behind the creation of domaine de vassal (1949) and antav (1962), which were to become the bridgeheads of the french strategy for the conservation, selection and multiplication of viticultural diversity. Initially based on visually virus-symptom-free massal selections, with the main aim of providing healthy, clearly-identified plant material, the process evolved as knowledge gained towards clonal selection.
