Remote sensing and ground techniques, applied to the characterization of a new viticultural region at Pinto Bandeira, Brazil

Abstract

The region of viticultural production near Pinto Bandeira, Brazil, is being studied to define typical characteristics of wines locally produced. Vineyards above altitudes of 500m qualify as “Mountain Wines”, a geographical denomination. Rocks, soils, and wines are analyzed. Several techniques are used: remote sensing, radiometry, and chemical analysis. Results indicate that elements (Fe, Cu, Mg, Al, and others) from rocks and soils are not detected in wines. However, minerals present in rocks and soils (montmorillonite, mordenite, illite) can be traced in wines, indicating a transmission of soils descriptors to wines. Geological maps of the region were generated from images of SPOT, Landsat and ASTER satellites.

Beyond liking scores: the importance of the drinking experience to understand our consumers

The presentation will approach the understanding of wine consumers´ perception based on the experiential model suggested by Warell (2008). In this framework, wine consumption gives rise to a
variety of experiences related to the perception, understanding, and judgment of the product. These
multidimensional facets of the drinking experience can be explored by measuring affective, cognitive,
and sensory responses of consumers, which are shown to be stable regardless of the social context.

Unprecedented rainfall in northern Portugal

Aim: Climate is arguably one of the most important factors determining the quality of wine from any given grapevine variety. High rainfall during spring can promote growth of the vines but increases the risk of fungal disease, while vineyard operations can be disrupted, as machinery may be prevented from getting in the vineyard owing to muddy soils.

Aroma profile of Oenococcus oeni strains in different life styles

AIM: Three Oenococcus oeni strains previously isolated from spontaneous malolactic fermentation were characterized for their surface properties. Planktonic and sessile cells were investigated for aroma compounds production and the expression of genes involved in citrate and malate metabolism (citE and mleA, respectively), glycoside-hydrolase (dsrO), fructansucrase (levO), rhamnosyl-transferase (wobB), glycosyltransferase (wobO).

Chemical systems behind wine aroma perception: overview, genesis and evolution

This talk presents a revision of our knowledge and understanding of the role played by the different aroma chemicals in the positive aroma attributes of wine. A systematic approach to classifying the different aroma chemicals of wine is presented .
