New tools for a visual analysis of vineyard landscapes?

Abstract

A vineyard landscape is above all an area observed by someone, that is to say a physical entity perceved and represented by this person. 
We try here to analyse more precisely the constitutive forms of vineyard landscapes and their visual perception. We use different complementary methods: 
– plastic and aesthetic landscape analysis, 
– modelling of some parameters like visual accessibility of landscape, 
– analysis of the observer’s attitude and eye tracking. 
Combination of these different analysis tools gives us a better knowledge of vineyard landscapes and their evolutions. It can appear useful for touristic or technical development.

Crafting wine’s signature: exploring volatile compounds from terroir to aging

The volatile compounds responsible for these aromas are crucial to identifying and appreciating a given wine.

The legal concept of “cultural heritage” to refurbish the wine sector’s priorities

Following the latest oiv global report (april 26, 2024), the prevailing perception of wine consumption finds itself undergoing one of its most challenging adjustments. It’s plausible to anticipate a shift in the scope of pdo wines towards more human-centered products (wells and stiefel, 2019), necessitating the entire sector to adapt strategies to public interest patterns (touzeau, 2010: 17-31). Previously, a dominant notion of cultural property underscored the value of wine regions; the primary interest revolved around estate owners and retailers, along with vigneron tales.
