A comparative analysis of regions worldwide with Pinot noir

Abstract

This study examines the growing season climates of selected wine regions worldwide that have significant areas under Pinot noir. It uses the normalized climatic data for the 1971-2000 period to analyze those climatic factors that are influential on the production of quality wines in cool climate regions and provides a comparison with those of Burgundy. The results show that the regions fall into broad groups based on various combinations of climatic criteria, but principally those that pertain to the daytime maximum temperature, precipitation totals, the diurnal temperature range and the mean temperature during the ripening period.

Vineyard soils and landscapes of the Burgundy Côte (France): a historical construction worth preserving

The construction of vineyard landscapes along the Burgundy Côte is the result of geological processes and of human labour. Substratum diversity in this vineyard is the result of a very long history explained by the diversity of Jurassic sedimentary facies and Tertiary tectonic activity. The nature and thickness of Quaternary deposits (Weichselian scree debris and alluvial fans) reflect sediment dynamics concurrent with the last glaciation.

Analysing consumers’ decision-making process for non-alcoholic spirit drinks and dehalcolized aromatized wines 

In recent years, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is changing, driven by evolving consumer preferences and societal trends, including a wave of health consciousness. Among these changes, the emergence and proliferation of nolo (no alcohol/low alcohol) alcoholic beverages have gained significant attention within the industry. Nolo alcohol beverages are produced to emulate the appearance, aroma, and taste of alcoholic beverages, potentially facilitating a sense of social integration when consuming a product that closely resembles alcohol.

Volatile fraction of young Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Catarina State, a new terroir in Brazil

A total of 52 volatile compounds were measured in varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines from four sites in Santa Catarina State (Brazil), over two consecutive vintages (2004 and 2005).

How to reduce SO2 additions in wine with the aid of non-conventional yeasts

Among the factors that influence the sensory quality, style, safety, sustainability, and sense of place of a wine, the contributions of microbial biodiversity are widely becoming more recognized. Throughout winemaking, multiple biochemical reactions are performed by a myriad of different microorganisms interacting in many ways.
