Gestión de la mitigación por las empresas vitivinícolas: combinar sostenibilidad y rentabilidad

Resumen

La transición hacia una economía descarbonizada requiere que las empresas adopten medidas de mitigación. El sector vitivinícola es uno de los más interesados en ello. En base a estudios previos, se han formulado dos hipótesis. La primera es que las bodegas que no destinan recursos específicos a gestionar la sostenibilidad toman decisiones de mitigación sin optimizar la rentabilidad económica y ambiental. La segunda es que la cultura organizacional de la empresa condiciona la adopción de medidas de mitigación. Siguiendo este camino, el proyecto Vid-Expert ha creado un sistema digital de apoyo a la gestión de la mitigación para las empresas vitivinícolas. Su objetivo es facilitar a los profesionales del vino la selección de medidas óptimas para su caso concreto. A partir de las Recomendaciones Metodológicas de la OIV, se ha construido un catálogo de medidas disponibles. Con los datos ingresados por el usuario, una herramienta de software avanzado calcula la huella de carbono de la organización, identifica las fuentes de emisión relevantes y sugiere las medidas de mitigación correspondientes. Las sugerencias priorizan las medidas por su relación costo-beneficio y su afinidad con las características de la empresa. El sistema permite el seguimiento de gestión a lo largo del tiempo.

Managing mitigation by wine companies: how to combine sustainability and profitability

The transition to a decarbonised economy requires companies to take mitigation measures. The wine sector is one of the most interested in this. Based on previous studies, two hypotheses have been formulated. The first is that wineries that do not allocate specific resources to sustainability management make mitigation decisions without optimising economic and environmental profitability. The second is that the organisational culture of the company conditions the adoption of mitigation measures. Following this path, the Vid-Expert project has created a digital mitigation management support system for wine companies. It aims to make it easier for wine professionals to select the optimal measures for their specific case. Based on the Methodological Recommendations of the OIV, a catalogue of available measures has been constructed. With the data entered by the user, an advanced software tool calculates the carbon footprint of the organisation, identifies the relevant emission sources and suggests corresponding mitigation measures. The suggestions prioritise the measures according to their cost-benefit ratio and their affinity with the characteristics of the company. The system enables management tracking over time.

Gestion des mesures d’atténuation par les entreprises vinicoles : allier durabilité et rentabilité

La transition vers une économie décarbonée exige des entreprises qu’elles prennent des mesures d’atténuation. Le secteur vitivinicole est l’un des plus intéressés par cette question. Sur la base d’études antérieures, deux hypothèses ont été formulées. La première est que les entreprises vinicoles qui n’allouent pas de ressources spécifiques à la gestion de la durabilité prennent des décisions d’atténuation sans optimiser la rentabilité économique et environnementale. La seconde est que la culture organisationnelle de l’entreprise conditionne l’adoption de mesures d’atténuation. Dans cette optique, le projet Vid-Expert a créé un système numérique d’aide à la gestion des mesures d’atténuation pour les entreprises vinicoles. Il vise à permettre aux professionnels du vin de sélectionner plus facilement les mesures optimales pour leur cas spécifique. Sur la base des recommandations méthodologiques de l’OIV, un catalogue des mesures disponibles a été élaboré. À partir des données saisies par l’utilisateur, un outil logiciel avancé calcule l’empreinte carbone de l’organisation, identifie les sources d’émission pertinentes et propose des mesures d’atténuation correspondantes. Les suggestions classent les mesures par ordre de priorité en fonction de leur rapport coût-bénéfice et de leur affinité avec les caractéristiques de l’entreprise. Le système permet un suivi de la gestion dans le temps.

Vitamin content of grape musts and yeast nutrition: A review

The management of yeast nutrition is an essential approach for a better control over wine fermentation process. Most of the researches on this subject in the last decades focused on nitrogen nutrition. However, vitamins, while being key compounds for yeast metabolism as co-factors for numerous enzymatic activities, were left mostly unexplored.

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.

An online training tool for wine professionals around the world: from responsible service to a sustainable consumption of wine

Most consumers enjoy wine in moderation, however, there remains a minority that may develop risky drinking habits, potentially harming themselves and those around them. For the last fifteen years, a prime objective of the wine in moderation programme has been to educate and empower the wine sector and now for the first time, a central education tool has been developed, integrating the topic of moderate consumption horizontally in all wine activities. The entire wine value chain – from the producer to the salesperson to the restaurant service staff – can contribute to reduce harmful consumption and encourage responsible drinking patterns.

Correction de la teneur en alcool des vins par évaporation partielle sous vide en cours de fermentation alcoolique

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.

Effect of moderate wine consumption in animal models

In 1979, the so-called “french paradox” was proposed, that is, a correlation between wine consumption, a diet rich in saturated fats, and a low mortality from coronary heart disease. On the other hand, it has also been described that alcohol consumption has negative effects on aging and increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and cancer. However, both hypotheses are based on population studies that may present distortions due to multiple factors (geographic, diet, smoking, socioeconomic level, etc.).
