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.

Evaluation of interception traps for capture of Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in vineyards varieties from Protected Denomination of Origin León

Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a pest in vineyards (Vitis vinifera) in the main Spain wine-producing regions with Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO). The action of the larvae, associated to the spreading of wood fungi, causes damage especially in important varieties of V. vinifera. X. arvicola females lay eggs concentrated in cracks or under the rhytidome in the wood vines, which allows the emerging larvae to get into the wood and make galleries inside the plant being then necessary to prune intensively or to pull up the bored plants (1). The objective of the study was to evaluate captures of X. arvicola insects in five varieties of V. vinifera in PDO León.

Exploring the impact of grape pressing on must and wine composition

Pressing has a relevant impact on the characteristics of the must and subsequently on white wines produced [1]. Therefore, the adequate management of pressing can lead to the desired extraction of phenols and other grape compounds (i.e. Organic acids), aromas and their precursors, allowing the production of balanced wines [2]. This aspect is especially important to sparkling wine where the acidity and pH, and the content of phenols affect its longevity and the expected sensory character.
