Landscapes of Vines and Wines Patrimony – Stakes – Valorisation

Abstract

The interaction between wine and landscapes is of an unsuspected richness. On the one side, the vineyards form part of the landscapes which they model. On the other side, the wines are related in their perception to the image of a region, a landscape and are at the origin of a cultural richness. The first International Conference on « Landscapes of Vines and Wines », that was organised from 2 to 4 July 2003 in Fontevraud (Loire Valley, France), was based on the resolutions enounced during the 4th International Terroir Symposium of Avignon (June 2003) and is integrated within the framework of the activities of the experts group « Viticultural Zoning » of the O.I.V. The goal was to optimise wine production and landscape quality not only from a technical and scientific point of view, but also from a tourist and cultural one. It was especially based on the fact that the Loire Valley is registered on the list of the World Inheritance of Humanity by UNESCO. The Fontevraud Chart, published at the Symposium, poses the principles of the environmental quality and the cultural, tourist and economic valorisation of viticultural landscapes within the framework of an international network of perennial and durable excellence. This chart, animated jointly by « InterLoire » and « Mission Val de Loire » is supported by the European Union and federates seven sites listed as World Inheritance of Humanity by UNESCO.

On sample preparation methods for fermentative beverage VOCs profiling by GCxGC-TOFMS

Study the influence of sample preparation methods on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiling for fermentative beverages by GCxGC-TOFMS analysis. METHODS: Five common sample preparation methods were tested on pooled red wine, white wine, cider, and beer. Studied methods were DHS, Liquid-liquid extraction, mSBSE, SPE and SPME. VOCs were analyzed by GCxGC-TOFMS followed by data analysis with ChromaTOF. RESULTS: The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiling results were very dependent on the sample preparation methods.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

INOCULATION OF THE SELECTED METSCHNIKOWIA PULCHERRIMA MP1 AS A BIOPROTECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO SULFITES TO PREVENT BROWNING OF WHITE GRAPE MUST

Enzymatic browning (BE) of must is caused by polyphenol oxidases (PPOs), tyrosinase and laccase. Both PPOs can oxidize diphenols such as hydroxycinnamic acids (HA) to quinones, which can later polymerize to form melanins [1], which are responsible of BE in white wines and of oxidasic haze in red wines. SO₂ is the main tool used to protect must from BE thanks to its capacity to inhibit PPOs [2]. However, the current trend in winemaking is to reduce and even eliminate this unfriendly additive. Among the different possible alternatives for protecting must against BE, the inoculation with a selected Metschnikowia pulcherrima MP1 is without any doubt one of the most promising ones.

Effect of two contrasting soils on grape and wine sensory characteristics in Shiraz

Aims: Berry composition and wine sensory characteristics reflect the origin of grape production and seasonal climatic conditions. The aim of this study was to compare berry and wine sensory characteristics from two contrasting soil types where the vineyard climate, geography, topography, vine and management factors were not different.
