Effects of environmental factors and vineyard pratices on wine flora dynamics

The study of technologic and phenolic maturation is very efficient to determinate quality potential of red grapes cultivars and clones under different maturity levels or geographic origins

L’objectif de cette recherche a été de déterminer les effets de l’enherbement dans le microclimat de la vigne. On a comparé cinq couvertures de cycle végétatif différent en ce qui concerne l’entretien du sol sans culture par application d’herbicides. L’étude a été developpée dans un vignoble cv. Malbec conduit en haute espalier, situé en a terroir á Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentine. On a déterminé des paramètres micro climatiques:

The growing interest in minority grape varieties is due to their potential for adaptation to global warming and their oenological capabilities. However, the cultivation of these varieties has often been limited due to their low economic efficiency. One such example is Maturana Blanca, a recently recovered and authorized minority grape variety in the DOCa Rioja region, known for its remarkable oenological potential but low productivity. This study aimed to increase the yield of Maturana Blanca by implementing the vertical cordon training system, which allowed for a higher number of buds per plant and an increased cluster count per vine.

The spanish wine industry stands at a crossroads, transitioning from a traditional emphasis on wine production to a landscape increasingly characterized by diversified service offerings. This paper delves into the nuances of servitization within spanish wineries, investigating the determinants of servitization and the impact of these diversified services on revenue streams. The paper posits hypotheses concerning the influence of various factors, such as winery size, location, market orientation, ownership structure, market competition, regulatory environment, market demand, firm capabilities, owner characteristics, and firm age, on the adoption of diversified service offerings in spanish wineries. The methodology involves comprehensive regression analysis to unravel the drivers of servitization within this context.

The concept of terroir in viticulture deals with the influence of environmental factors on vine behaviour and grape ripening. Recent advances in technology, in particular computer technology, allow a more in-depth study of the environment. Geomorphology can be studied with digital Elevation Models (DEM). Soils can be surveyed with geophysics.
