Effect of vineyard management strategy on the nutritional status of irrigated « Tempranillo » vineyards grown in semi-arid areas

Abstract

The combination of cover crops with regulated deficit irrigation has been lately shown to be a good method to improve harvest quality in irrigated vineyards of Southern Europe with semiarid climate, as an alternative to the conventional management, that consists on mechanical tillage and irrigation from fruitset to veraison and from then on reduced, or even ended. In this work, we present the implications of this alternative management method on vineyard nutrition through blade, petiole and berry analysis, showing that the presence of the cover crop does not imply further nutrient needs but, rather on the contrary, results in a progressive improvement of vine nutritional status as a result of the decrease of its nutrient needs due to lower growth and yield, and probably of an improvement of soil characteristics enhancing nutrient availability.

On the losses of dissolved CO2 from laser-etched champagne glasses under standard tasting conditions

Under standard champagne tasting conditions, the complex interplay between the level of dissolved CO2 found in champagne, its temperature, the glass shape, and the bubbling rate, definitely impacts champagne tasting by modifying the neuro-physico-chemical mechanisms responsible for aroma release and flavor perception. Based on theoretical principles combining heterogeneous bubble nucleation, ascending bubble dynamics and mass transfer equations, a global model is proposed (depending on various parameters of both the wine and the glass itself), which quantitatively provides the progressive losses of dissolved CO2 from laser-etched champagne glasses.

Crowdsourced the assessment of wine rating: professional wine competition rating vs vivino rating

We evaluate wine ratings by comparing data from two crowdsourcing platforms – Vivino, which aggregates the opinions of a large number of wine lovers, and Global Wine Medal Rating, which aggregates the scores from more than 1030 international wine competitions since 2020.

Frost variability in the Champagne vineyard: probability calendar

Dans le vignoble champenois, le risque thermique associé au gel des bourgeons au printemps et en hiver est très mal connu et ne peut être envisagé qu’à l’échelle locale, en raison d’une variabilité spatiale forte. L’objectif de l’étude est d’appréhender ce risque de façon fiable et pluri locale en utilisant le réseau de stations météos récemment implanté.

From grapes to sparking wines: Aromas evaluation in a vine-spacing

Aim: Wine aromatic profile is a combination of viticulture and oenological practices and it is related to character, quality, and consumer acceptance. Based on the competition between soil capacity and canopy development, and on the potential to produce sparkling wines at Caldas, in the south region of Minas Gerais (Brazil) (21°55´S and 46°23´W, altitude 1.100m), the aim of this work was the evaluation of the development of aromas (secondary metabolites) from grapes to sparkling wines in a vine-spacing experiment and whether the distance between the vines can influence the aromatic profile of the sparkling wines (final product). 

Discrimination of South Tyrol’s wines by their cultivation practices: A detailed mass spectrometric approach

Climate change is having a profound effect on viticulture by altering the conditions under which vines grow, leading to increased water stress and earlier harvests, which in turn affect the quality and character of wines [1].
