Multi-mineral wine profiling and Artificial Intelligence: Implementing the signatures of each wine to train algorithms to meet the new challenges facing the wine industry

Abstract

Although present in minimal quantities, minerals are essential to the composition of every wine. Their presence results from complex interactions between various factors such as soil, vines, climate, topography, and viticultural practices, all strongly influenced by terroir. Each stage of the winemaking process further shapes the unique mineral and flavor profile of each wine. This mineral composition, stable over time, can serve as a foundation for developing new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. To this end, we have established a comprehensive database of over 20,000 wines, each characterized by a “Mineral Wine Profile” (MWP), a concentration profile of forty mineral elements obtained through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). These profiles constitute robust and extensive datasets, ideal for integration into AI-guided oenology. Beyond the specific signature of a wine and the development of authentication services, combining these signatures with additional data allows for the creation of new AI-driven tools to address emerging challenges in the wine industry. We will present the first proofs of concept that demonstrate the potential of this AI and mineral analysis approach for the creation of targeted wines.

Profilo multiminerale dei vini: un importante passo avanti nei modelli di IA dell’industria vinicola

Profilazione multiminerale dei vini e intelligenza artificiale: implementare le firme di ogni vino per addestrare algoritmi in grado di affrontare le nuove sfide dell’industria vinicola.  Sebbene la loro quantità sia minima, i minerali sono elementi essenziali nella composizione di ogni vino. La loro presenza è il risultato di complesse interazioni tra vari fattori come il suolo, i vitigni, il clima, la topografia e le pratiche viticole, tutti influenzati dal territorio. Ogni fase del processo di vinificazione contribuisce inoltre a plasmare il profilo minerale e gustativo unico di ogni vino, conferendo a ciascuna cuvée il suo carattere distintivo. Questa composizione minerale, stabile nel tempo, è di fondamentale importanza per una comprensione approfondita dei vini e può servire come base per lo sviluppo di nuovi algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale.  In quest’ottica, abbiamo intrapreso un’indagine sul mineral wine profile (mwp), che consiste in un profilo di concentrazione di 41 elementi minerali ottenuto semplicemente con un’analisi semi-quantitativa mediante spettrometria di massa accoppiata induttivamente (icp-ms). Oltre alla firma specifica di una cuvée e allo sviluppo di servizi di autenticazione, l’associazione di queste firme con altre informazioni (qualitative, pedologiche, enologiche, viticole, ambientali, ecc.) Consentirà, grazie all’intelligenza artificiale, di creare nuovi strumenti in grado di rispondere alle sfide emergenti dell’industria del vino.   I minerali possono essere sia causa che conseguenza dei processi studiati; le loro origini sono complesse, coinvolgono molteplici reazioni chimiche in ogni fase e i loro equilibri sono relativi tra ogni elemento. Nonostante la loro grande complessità e sensibilità, questi profili possono essere posizionati al centro dell’enologia guidata dall’intelligenza artificiale. Abbiamo già analizzato e sviluppato il più grande database di minerali, che attualmente contiene più di 20.000 mwp.  Presenteremo i primi proof of concept che illustrano la forza di questo approccio e discuteremo le prospettive future.

Profil multi-minéral des vins : avancée majeure dans les modèles d’IA viti-vinicoles

Profil multi-minéral des vins et intelligence artificielle : implémentation des signatures de chaque vin pour l’entraînement d’algorithmes au service des nouveaux enjeux de la filière viti-vinicole.  Bien que leur quantité soit minime, les minéraux sont des éléments essentiels de la composition de chaque vin. Leur présence découle d’interactions complexes entre divers facteurs tels que le sol, la vigne, le climat, la topographie et les pratiques viticoles, tous influencés par le terroir. Chaque étape du processus de vinification contribue également à façonner le profil minéral et gustatif unique de chaque vin, conférant ainsi à chaque cuvée son caractère distinctif. Cette composition minérale, stable dans le temps, revêt une importance fondamentale pour une compréhension approfondie des vins, pouvant servir de base au développement de nouveaux algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle.  Dans cette perspective, nous avons entrepris le recensement du mineral wine profile (mwp), qui consiste en un profil de concentration de 41 éléments minéraux obtenus simplement par analyse semi-quantitative en spectrométrie de masse à couplage inductif (icp-ms). Au-delà de la signature spécifique d’une cuvée et des développements de services d’authentification, l’association de ces signatures à d’autres informations (qualitatives, sols, œnologiques, viticoles, environnementales, etc.) Permettra, grâce à l’intelligence artificielle, de créer de nouveaux outils répondant aux défis émergents de la filière viti-vinicole.  Les minéraux peuvent être à la fois la cause et/ou la conséquence des processus étudiés ; leurs origines sont complexes, impliquant de multiples réactions chimiques à chaque étape, et leurs équilibres sont relatifs entre chaque élément. Malgré leur grande complexité et sensibilité, ces profils peuvent être positionnés au cœur de l’œnologie guidée par l’intelligence artificielle. Nous avons déjà analysé et développé la plus grande base de données minérales, contenant actuellement plus de 20 000 mwp.  Nous présenterons les premières preuves de concept illustrant la force de cette approche et discuterons des perspectives à venir.

Ceramic imprint in wine: influence of hydraulic ratio on ceramic dissolution and wine pH in amphorae systems

This interaction is primarily due to an acidic attack on the ceramic by the wine. It results in (1) the dissolution of the ceramic into the wine and the release of a wide variety of elements; and (2) an increase of the wine pH. The extent of these effects depends on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the ceramic, as well as the hydraulic ratio of the ceramic-wine system (the term hydraulic ratio (ρ) defines here the volume of wine over the surface area of the ceramic in contact with the wine).

Successful training on responsible wine consumption in Germany

Considering that „prevention requires information”, in 2007, the european education program wine in moderation (wim) started. The common message of responsible and only moderate wine consumption is implemented in each participating country, adapted to national circumstances. In germany, besides recruiting new wim members from the wine sector, the deutsche weinakademie focusses also on information and education of future wine makers and cellar men in professional schools. The seminars cover basic information about the existing legal framework (youth protecting law, drink driving laws, etc.), the self regulation code of conduct for commercial communications (advertising) of alcoholic beverages as well as the health effects of alcoholic beverages, and of wine in particular.

Is complex nutrition more advantageous than mineral nitrogen for the fermentative capacities of S. cerevisiae?

During alcoholic fermentation, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for yeast as it plays a key role in sugar transport and biosynthesis of wine aromatic compounds (thiols, esters, higher alcohols). The main issue of a lack in yeast assimilable nitrogen (yan) in winemaking is sluggish or stuck fermentations promoting the growth of alteration species which may lead to economic losses. However, correcting this nitrogen deficiency is sometimes not enough to restore proper fermentation performance. This suggests the existence of other nutritional shortages.

Carbon footprint in Austrian viticulture – Evaluation of the main polluters and possible solutions in entire the production chain

The sustainability certification ‘nachhaltig austria’ (www.sustainableaustria.com) has been offered to austrian wineries in an online version for 10 years and over 25% of the austrian wine-growing area is now certified. Since the 2022 harvest, ‘nachhaltig austria’ has automatically calculated the carbon footprint for each winery, per hectare of vineyard, per litre of bulk wine and per 0.75-litre bottle (poelz, w. And rosner, f.g. 2023). In last year’s publications and numerous presentations at national and international level, topics such as refilling glass bottles, lightweight glass bottles, renewable energy, … Etc.

Exploring the potential of Hanseniaspora vineae for quality wines production

Traditionally, non-saccharomyces yeasts were deemed undesirable in winemaking, for this reason, it is a common practice to add sulphites to prevent their proliferation during the initial stages of vinification. However, the current research on yeast diversity has unveiled numerous non-saccharomyces strains possessing advantageous traits that enrich the sensory profile of wines. The genus hanseniaspora is often associated with wine fermentation and is also commonly found on grapes.
