Modeling viticultural landscapes: a GIS analysis of the viticultural potential in the Rogue Valley of Oregon

Non-saccharomyces yeasts play a crucial role in fermentation, producing a variety of secondary metabolites and enzymes that contribute to aromatic and sensory complexity compared to saccharomyces yeasts. It is crucial to understand and control the dynamics of non-saccharomyces yeasts to produce distinctive and high-quality fermented beverages.

We performed a DC resistivity monitoring experiment during eight months in 2003. Low, medium and high resolution measurements have been carried out at various locations of a vineyard. General apparent resistivity mapping evidences the spatial variations of the summer drying of the subsurface.

Aim: This study aimed to isolate Oenococcus oeni in red wines from Yinchuan wine region in the East of Helan Mountain, China, and analysis their genetic diversity.

Methods and Results: Oenococcus oeni strains were isolated from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Gernischt wines of four

Climate change has become a reality that is becoming more and more apparent every day, with changes in the physico-chemical composition of grapes and an increase in the alcohol content of finished wines. These higher alcoholic degrees are not without consequences for the success of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Correcting the alcohol content (-20% of the initial alcoholic strength) is also part of an approach designed to meet consumer expectations for healthier, lighter or lower-alcohol wines (9 to 13% vol.). Correcting the alcohol content of wines also rebalances the mouthfeel by reducing the alcohol’s burn.

It is quite common nowadays to carry out analyses which allow to control the ageing of spirits that are aged in wood casks. Many control parameters have been previously studied, such as the concentration of different phenolic compounds or the Total Polyphenol Index, in order to better understand the ageing process of wood aged spirits. On the other hand, it is frequent to analyse as a physical parameter the colour of those spirit samples, by stating them as an array of three coordinates from various colour spaces as CIE L*a*b* or CIE L*C*H*.
