Zoning of potential landscape and environment potential of the «Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée Costières de Nîmes»

Abstract

The Union defence of the “appellation Costières de Nîmes” hired a reflection on the future of its territory production in the interests of preservation and enhancement. It has launched a study in partnership with the Urban Community Nîmes Métropole and DIREN Languedoc-Roussillon on the cultural and economic values that form the landscape and the environment. The work done in consultation with the players in the area led to the signing of a charter and environmental landscape. The map areas of potential landscape and environment of the “A.O.C. Costières de Nîmes” was one of the first objectives of the charter. This map identifies on the basis of a typology: 
– land of excellence; 
– land under urban influence; 
– land who have lost their agricultural or urban lands. 
This card is an information paper to the actors and agencies territory “Costières” (elected… communities). It aims to take better account of the added production that make up the landscape and the environment. For each type identified, management guidance and support are available to maintain, preserve and enhance the attractiveness of the quality of life, economic strength and promotional landscape and the environment (viewpoints, axes discovery … viticultural landscape). These proposals are intended to ensure a balanced economic development of the territory of appellation. They come in 34 actions included in the charter and environmental landscape of the “appellation Costières de Nîmes”.

Critical investigation on additions to improve the sensory characteristics of dealcoholized wine

The demand for dealcoholized wine has been progressively increasing in recent years. Moreover, the attention for such products is probably increasing even more. Due to that increasing demand and market awareness the legal authorities are about changing rules for that products. Also, at OIV level, these products are being intensively discussed for certain time. The production of dealcoholized wine bases on wine as initial product. This wine is then reduced by physical methods to an alcohol content of less than 0.5% vol., or in other words, to less than 4g/l of alcohol. There are various technologies are possible for producing dealcoholized wine (Schmitt and Christmann 2019).

Exploring aromatic profiles and environmental influences on berry chemistry of V. vinifera Riesling and Vitis sp. L’Acadie blanc in Quebec and Nova Scotia, Canada

Wine quality depends on grape biochemical constituents, including sugars, organic acids, amino acids, and bound and free aroma compounds, which are influenced by vineyard location and environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation [1].

High-resolution aerial thermography for water stress estimation in grapevines

Aerial thermography has emerged as a promising tool for water stress detection in grapevines, but there are still challenges associated with this technology, particularly concerning the methodology employed to extract reliable canopy temperature values. This consideration is relevant especially in vertically trained vineyards, due to the presence of multiple surfaces which are captured by drone thermal cameras with high-resolution. To test the technology and the data analysis required, a field study was conducted during the 2022-2023 season in a model vineyard with multiple scions-rootstock combinations trained on a vertical shoot-positioning (VSP) system. Additionally, three irrigation regimes were implemented to introduce variability in water stress levels.

Hanseniaspora in wine-making: their genetic modification and potential role in acid modulation

Hanseniaspora spp. are one of the most common yeast isolates in vineyards and wineries and play an important role in wine-making.

Adsorption of tetraconazole by organic residues and vineyard organically-amended soils 

Spain is the country with the largest wine-producing area in the EU and its productivity is largely controlled applying fungicides. However, residues of these compounds can move and contaminate surface and groundwater. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity of bioadsorbents from different origin to adsorb and immobilize tetraconazole by themselves or when applied as organic soil amendment, and to prevent soil and water contamination by this fungicide. The adsorption of tetraconazole by 3 organic residues: spent mushroom substrate (SMS), green compost (GC) and vine pruning sawdust (VP), as well as by vineyard soils unamended and amended individually with these residues at 1.5% (w/w) was evaluated using the batch equilibrium technique.
