The environmental impact of viticulture: analysis of the influence type of biofertilisers on wine quality and microbiology activity of soil

Abstract

The trial was conducted in variety/rootstock Riesling/Kober 5 BB in the vineyard district of Vrsac. The vineyard was planted in 1996 on a south-facing slope, with rectangular type pruning of 3×1 m. The training system is of symmetric cordon type and mixed type pruning is practiced. At the beginning of vegetation of grapevine, in the vine row microbiological fertilizer (A-Azotobacter chroococcum, AH-Azotobacter chroococcum+humate, ABC- Azotobacter chroococcum+ Bacillus megaterium+Bacillus circulans, and ABC+H-Azotobacter chroococcum+Bacillus megaterium+Bacillus circulans+ humate incorporated in the top 20 cm of soil. Control treatment (K-control) was not fertilizer. In investigation years 2003, 2004 and 2005, it was only fertilizer in vineyard. Microbiological fertilizers were soluble in water. Analyses of the influence type of biofertilizers on total number of bacteria and input populations of bacteria were investigated in harvest period. Results point out that total number of bacteria increase, in comparator of control, in all combination of biofertilizers. Population of Azotobakter choococcum is more numerous than other bacteria. Analyses of chemical composition of wine and wine testing had shown differences between applied beofirtilizers.

Effects of wine versus de-alcoholised wine on the microbiota-gut-brain axis in a tau-pathology murine model of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common disorder associated with cognitive impairment and the main cause of dementia globally. Multiple evidence in the last decade suggest that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of AD via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, a network wherein microbiome and the central nervous system crosstalk via endocrine, immune, neural, and microbial metabolites signalling pathways.

Oenological tannins to prevent Botrytis cinerea damage: reduction of laccase activity

Oenological tannins are classified as hydrolysable and condensed tannins. Their use in winemaking is only authorized, to facilitate wine fining. Nevertheless, tannins could also be used to prevent laccase effects.

Typicality of Rioja wines: identification of sensory profiles for the three subregions of DOCa Rioja

Within the DOCa Rioja three main production areas are differentiated: Rioja Alta (RA), Rioja Alavesa (RAv) and Rioja Oriental (RO). They are three diverse territories with particular characteristics that are claimed to give rise to differentiated profiles. The present work aims at evaluating the sensory diversity of young commercial red wines in these three subregions. Therefore 30 young red wines (mainly Tempranillo and vintage 2021), ten from each subregion, were sensory described following a non-verbal free sorting task and a verbal free comment task by 32 well-established Rioja winemakers.

Influence of Potential Alcohol and pH Adjustment on Polyphenols and Sensory Characteristics of Red Wines Produced at Different Harvest Time Points

Wine quality is influenced by grape maturity, typically monitored by measuring sugar content and acidity.

L’étude “terroirs d’Anjou”: un exemple de caractérisation intégrée des terroirs viticoles, utilisable à l’échelle parcellaire

Natural factors of the production (“terroir” and vintage) are known as an important element for identifying wines by their genuine typicité and their authenticity. The program “Terroirs d’Anjou” (1994-1999) aims at bringing the necessary scientific basis for a rational and reasoned exploitation of the terroir.
