Which heat test really represents the haze risk of a white Sauvignon wine ?

Abstract

AIM: Different heat tests are used to predict a white wine haze risk after bottling. The most used tests are 30-60 min. at 80°C. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information about the relationship between the wine haze observed after such tests and the turbidities observed in the bottles after the storage/transport of the wines in more realistic Summer conditions (35-46°C during 3-12 days).

 METHODS: 24 Sauvignon wines (Loire Valley – France) produced during the vintages 2018 and 2019 were studied. Six heat tests were applied on during 5-30-60 min. at 80°C and during 30-60-120 min. at 50°C. The results were compared with the turbidity reached by the wines under Summer conditions (35 to 46°C, from 1 to 14 days) and representing 6 tests too. The Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) were calculated for all of these 12 heat tests when compared two by two.

RESULTS: The turbidities of the wines subjected to Summer temperature conditions (35-43°C) were highly correlated with the turbidities developed by the Sauvignon wines after heating 30 or 60 min. at 50°C (0.980

Predicting provenance and grapevine cultivar implementing machine learning on vineyard soil microbiome data: implications in grapevine breeding

The plant rhizosphere microbial communities are an essential component of plant microbiota, which is crucial for sustaining the production of healthy crops. The main drivers of the composition of such communities are the growing environment and the planted genotype. Recent viticulture studies focus on understanding the effects of these factors on soil microbial composition since microbial biodiversity is an important determinant of plant phenotype, and of wine’s organoleptic properties. Microbial biodiversity of different wine regions, for instance, is an important determinant of wine terroir.

Increasing microalgae biomass feedstock by valorizing wine gaseous and liquid residues

Global warming due to greenhouse gases (GHG) has become a serious worldwide concern. The new EU Green Deal aims t0 achieve GHG emissions reduction by at least 55% by 2030 and a climate neutral EU economy by 2050. The deal strongly encourages GHG reducing measures at local, national and European levels. The REDWine project will demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of reducing by, at least, 31% of the CO2 eq. emissions produced in the winery industry value chain by utilizing biogenic fermentation CO2 for microalgae biomass production
