Un jour, l’AOD (Appellation d’Origine viticole Durable), fusion de l’origine et de la durabilité

Résumé

L’évolution des enjeux qualitatifs du vin s’exprime historiquement par le passage de la qualité de vin (qu’est-ce qu’un vin ?) à la qualité du vin (qu’est-ce qu’un bon vin ?) Sans doute la prochaine question pourrait-elle être : qu’est-ce qu’un bon vin durable ? Pour contribuer à la réflexion sur ce thème, il peut être intéressant de procéder à un exercice de prospective fiction, que nous avons identifiée dans l’hypothèse de l’AOD, l’Appellation d’Origine Durable, scénario que nous développerons à la lumière des évolutions de la filière viticole du nouveau règlement relatif aux indications géographiques, et que nous soumettons à l’appréciation des experts de l’OIV. Après avoir été simple, contrôlée puis protégée, la prochaine étape, pour l’appellation, pourrait consister à afficher sa durabilité. Nouvelle norme et nouveau signe, l’AOD exprimerait alors la fusion de la qualité de l’origine et de la durabilité.

Perspectivas de una denominación de origen vitivinícola sostenible, fusión de origen y medio ambiente

Resumen. La evolución de las cuestiones relativas a la calidad del vino se ha expresado históricamente por el paso de la calidad del vino (¿qué es un vino?) A la calidad del vino (¿qué es un buen vino?). La siguiente pregunta podría ser sin duda: ¿qué es un buen vino sostenible? Para contribuir al debate sobre este tema, puede merecer la pena realizar un ejercicio de ficción prospectiva, que hemos identificado en la hipótesis de la aod, la denominación de origen duradera, hipótesis que desarrollaremos a la luz de la evolución del sector vitivinícola y del reglamento sobre las indicaciones geográficas. Una vez simplificada, controlada y protegida, la siguiente etapa de la denominación podría ser mostrar su sostenibilidad. Nueva norma y nuevo signo, la aod expresaría entonces la fusión de la calidad de origen y la sostenibilidad.

Prospective on the sustainable appellation d’origine viticole, merging origin and environment

Abstract. The evolution of the quality issues of wine is expressed historically by the transition from the essence of wine (what is wine?) to the quality of wine (what is a good wine?) Perhaps the next question could be: what is a good and sustainable wine?  It may be interesting to carry out a prospective fiction exercise, which we have identified in the hypothesis of the SDO, the Sustainable Designation of Origin, a scenario that we will develop in the light of developments in the wine industry and the new European regulation on geographical indications, and which we submit to the appreciation of the OIV experts. After having been simple, controlled and then protected, the next step for the appellation could be to display its sustainability. As a new standard and a new sign would then express the fusion of quality linked to origin and sustainability.

Do we have convergence or divergence in firms’ production and business practices in the global wine industry? 

Wine production is a globally significant and intricate industry, characterized by diverse regions, grape varieties, and producers. Competitive advantage in wine production and marketing arises from localized natural attributes known as terroir, combined with transferable expertise in agronomic practices, winemaking methods, packaging, distribution, and marketing. Wine is a very globalized product with 40% of the total output exported. Globalization has prompted discussions on convergence of business and production practices across industries, driven by technological progress and adoption of international standards. However, persisting differences in cultural norms, institutional frameworks, and regulatory environments hinder full convergence.

New genomic techniques, plant variety rights and wine law

The paper discusses potential implications of New Genomic Technologies (NGTs) on European Plant Variety and Wine Law.

The bottleneck/cork interface: A key parameter for wine aging in bottle

The shelf life of wine is a major concern for the wine industry. This is particularly true for wines intended for long cellaring, which are supposed to reach their peak after an ageing period ranging from a few months to several years, or even decades. Low, controlled oxygen inputs through the closure system are generally necessary for the wine to evolve towards its optimum organoleptic characteristics. Our previous studies have already shown that the interface between the cork and the bottleneck plays a crucial role in the transfer of oxygen into the bottled wine.

Evaluation of intravarietal variability and selection for tolerance to downy mildew: The case of Antão Vaz variety in Portugal 

Antão Vaz is a Portuguese white grapevine variety grown mainly in the wine-growing regions of Southern Portugal, particularly in the Alentejo, Lisbon and Setúbal peninsula regions. It is a very vigorous and productive variety, giving the wines a strong identity. It needs heat and sunlight and prefers deep and dry soils, which makes it tolerant to scald caused by the high summer temperatures of Southern Portugal. However, this variety is very susceptible to downy mildew, caused by plasmopara viticola, a very destructive disease in years with rainy springs.

The ampelographic collection – glorious past, challenging present, expectant future
