Un siècle de publications et d’archives de l’OIV : un patrimoine mondial de valeur universelle exceptionnelle pour les sciences et techniques de la vigne et du vin

Résumé

En 2004, l’OIV a officialisé le transfert de son patrimoine scientifique et technique de l’Office International du Vin à l’Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin. Ce patrimoine, défini par l’UNESCO comme un héritage du passé transmis aux générations futures, est essentiel pour comprendre et développer le secteur vitivinicole en constante évolution. A l’occasion du centenaire de l’OIV, il est essentiel d’examiner ces archives et publications pour éclairer le présent et anticiper l’avenir du secteur vitivinicole. Cet article explore la composition de ce patrimoine ainsi que la transformation de cet héritage au fil du temps, passant d’une acceptation tacite à sa valorisation actuelle en tant que patrimoine mondial des sciences et techniques de la vigne et du vin. Analyser le patrimoine de l’OIV c’est comprendre le passé et les transformations du secteur vitivinicole à travers les décennies, afin de mieux les appréhender à l’avenir.

A century of OIV publications and archives: a world heritage of exceptional universal value for vine and wine science and technology

In 2004, the OIV officially transferred its scientific and technical heritage from the Office International du Vin (International Wine Office) to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine. This heritage, defined by UNESCO as a legacy of the past passed on to future generations, is essential for understanding and developing the ever-evolving vitivinicultural sector. As we celebrate the OIV’s centenary, it is crucial to examine these archives and publications in order to highlight the present and anticipate the future of the wine industry. This article explores the composition of this heritage as well as its transformation over time: from its tacit acceptance to its current recognition as a world heritage of the science and techniques of vine and wine. Analysing the OIV’s heritage is about understanding the past and the way of the vitivinicultural sector has been transformed over the decades, in order to improve it for the future.

Un siglo de publicaciones y archivos de la oiv: un patrimonio mundial de excepcional valor universal para las ciencias y las técnicas de la vid y el vino

En 2004, durante su asamblea general, la oiv aprobó la transferencia de su patrimonio científico y técnico de la oficina a la organización internacional de la viña y el vino. El termino patrimonio es presentado por la unesco como “la herencia del pasado del que nos beneficiamos hoy y que transmitimos a las generaciones futuras”. Frente a un sector vitivinícola en perpetua evolución, que evoluciona continuamente gracias a los avances científicos, técnicos, jurídicos y tecnológicos, el patrimonio de la OIV es de suma importancia para hacer avanzar y enriquecer este sector. A través de una comprensión profunda del pasado, los actores están mejor preparados para enfrentar los desafíos futuros. En este sentido, el objetivo de este artículo es subrayar la importancia del patrimonio científico y técnico reunido y producido por la OIV, en particular todas las resoluciones adoptadas desde su creación.  Con motivo del centenario de la OIV, es fundamental, para iluminar el presente y pensar el futuro del sector vitivinícola mundial, examinar estos patrimonios, hoy en parte digitalizados. Hasta la fecha, están catalogados y disponibles 690 boletines de la OIV y 14.415 artículos. Así, estas resoluciones adoptadas por la OIV, estas publicaciones del boletín, estos trabajos reunidos a lo largo de cien años por la organización o incluso sus archivos dan testimonio de un rico pasado del que parece imprescindible reapropiarse. A través de la lectura de estos documentos, los usuarios pueden conocer partes esenciales de la historia mundial del sector, comprender la evolución jurídica, técnica, científica y comercial que la viña, el vino y otros productos vitivinícolas han experimentado en los países miembros de la organización desde su fundación. Estos materiales son, además, esenciales para el estudio de los procesos de interrelación entre los países productores y/o consumidores de productos vitivinícolas en el mundo durante el siglo XX. Veinte años después del renacimiento de la organización y un siglo después de la fundación de la oficina internacional del vino en 1924, cabe cuestionar la restitución de este patrimonio. Una mutación que, desde la aceptación tácita de los bienes hereditarios hasta la liquidación al amparo de un inventario hasta el patrimonio neto, permite a la organización, legataria universal, promover un patrimonio mundial excepcional para la ciencia y la tecnología, la vid y el vino.

A population genetic study of Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris Gmelin based on 3.000 individuals from 20 countries

Until the 19th century, the wild form of cultivated grapevines (vitis vinifera l. subsp. sylvestris gmelin, v. sylvestris) was ubiquitous in many european and west asian regions. However, many factors like deforestation, the intensification of agriculture, or the introduction of several pests and pathogens decimated its presence in these growing sites, and natural populations are now mostly restricted to river-bank forests and creeks with specific soil and climate conditions. in fact, v. sylvestris is now considered an endangered subspecies that is protected by law in many european countries to prevent its loss.

Towards more coherent rules for alcohol labelling in the European Union

In its 2020 beating cancer plan, the european commission announced plans for mandatory warning signs for alcoholic beverages. However, no concrete legislative proposal has been put forward so far. Instead, ireland passed national legislation in 2023 that requires warning signs for all alcoholic beverages from 2026. Despite significant effects for the common market, the eu commission did not this challenge this law in the so-called tris notification procedure. We argue that the commission’s inaction is consistent with the case law of the european court of justice: in the absence of harmonized rules, member states have a large margin of discretion to enact national health measures.

Shading nets for the adaptation to climate change: effect on vine physiology and grape quality 

Viticulture is threatened by the environmental modification caused by climate change. Higher temperatures determine an acceleration of the ripening process, which can be detrimental to wine quality. In the mediterranean area, heat waves are also increasingly frequent, with consequent blocking of the vegetative activity of the vines and increased susceptibility to sunburn damage. thus, adaptation strategies are necessary to reduce stress and improve the quality of grape production. Amongst the various techniques available, shading nets represent an interesting alternative for their effects on canopy microclimate (i.e., reduction of photosynthetic activity, improvement of water use efficiency, and slowing down in the ripening process).

Overcoming habit formation in the production of wine

Evidence indicates that climate change affects the environment, human health, and well-being via drought, increasing greenhouse effect, and climatic catastrophes. As the wine sector is also negatively affected by climate change, the role of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies is important in wine production. One example of an adaptation policy is the implementation of grapevine genetics (duchene, 2016), while organic farming may be used as an approach to mitigate the consequences of climate change (vinci et al., 2022). To this end, the european commission’s objective is to reach the european green deal target of at least 25% of the european union’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030.

Yeasts protein extracts: new low impact tool for wine protein stability

Yeast protein extracts (ypes) have flocculating properties, allowing clarification of musts and wines. They are already authorized by oiv for fining purposes with a maximum dosage limit of 60 g/hl for red wines, and 30 g/hl for musts, white and rosè wines. The extraction of ypes from the cytoplasm of yeasts (saccharomyces spp) cells is defined by the resolution oiv oeno 452-2012, that indicate also some specification of the final product.
