Wine as cultural national heritage: 10 years of the “Vino Bebida Nacional” law in Argentina: review and lessons

Abstract

Ten years have passed since the enactment and implementation of law no. 26,870 “national drink wine” in argentina, a pioneering legislation worldwide that seeks to disseminate the cultural characteristics inherent in the production, elaboration, and consumption of wine, as well as its deep-rooted traditions. This essay delves into the effects of elevating wine to the status of a national symbol, exploring its influence on the economy, tourist promotion, and its contribution to national identity.  Through the analysis of specific cases, the lessons learned during this decade and their relevance to other wine-producing countries are examined. The impact of institutional support from public entities in recognizing the role of wine as a fundamental element in the construction of argentine cultural identity is especially highlighted, as well as its contribution to local development and tourism in wine-producing regions. Additionally, the challenges faced in the implementation of this policy are addressed, and recommendations are proposed for its application in international contexts.  This essay provides a comprehensive view of how this type of legislation can serve as a model for the protection of a true national heritage, embedding it in culture and promoting sustainable development in wine-producing countries worldwide.

El vino como patrimonio cultural nacional: 10 años de la ley “vino bebida nacional” en Argentina. Balance y lecciones 

Se conmemoran 10 años desde la promulgación e implementación de la ley n° 26.870 “vino bebida nacional” en argentina, una legislación pionera a nivel mundial que busca difundir las características culturales inherentes a la producción, elaboración y consumo del vino, así como sus tradiciones arraigadas. Este ensayo profundiza en los efectos de haber elevado al vino al estatus de símbolo nacional, explorando su influencia en la economía, la promoción turística y su contribución a la identidad nacional.  Mediante el análisis de casos específicos, se examinan las lecciones aprendidas durante esta década y su relevancia para otros países productores de vino. Se destaca especialmente el impacto del respaldo institucional por parte de entidades públicas en el reconocimiento del papel del vino como elemento fundamental en la construcción de la identidad cultural argentina, así como su contribución al desarrollo local y al turismo en las regiones vitivinícolas. Además, se abordan los desafíos enfrentados en la implementación de esta política y se proponen recomendaciones para su aplicación en contextos internacionales.  Este ensayo ofrece una visión holística de cómo este tipo de legislación puede servir como modelo para la protección de un auténtico patrimonio nacional, arraigándolo en la cultura y promoviendo un desarrollo sostenible en países productores de vino en todo el mundo.

Le vin en tant que patrimoine culturel national : 10 ans de la loi “vin boisson nationale” en argentine. Bilan et leçons

Dix ans se sont écoulés depuis la promulgation et la mise en œuvre de la loi n° 26.870 “boisson nationale : vin” en argentine, une législation pionnière dans le monde entier qui vise à diffuser les caractéristiques culturelles inhérentes à la production, à l’élaboration et à la consommation du vin, ainsi qu’à ses traditions profondément enracinées. Cet essai examine les effets de l’élévation du vin au statut de symbole national, explorant son influence sur l’économie, la promotion touristique et sa contribution à l’identité nationale.  A travers l’analyse de cas spécifiques, les leçons apprises au cours de cette décennie et leur pertinence pour d’autres pays producteurs de vin sont examinées. L’impact du soutien institutionnel des entités publiques dans la reconnaissance du rôle du vin comme élément fondamental dans la construction de l’identité culturelle argentine est particulièrement souligné, ainsi que sa contribution au développement local et au tourisme dans les régions viticoles. De plus, les défis rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre de cette politique sont abordés, et des recommandations sont proposées pour son application dans des contextes internationaux.  Cet essai offre une vue d’ensemble de la manière dont ce type de législation peut servir de modèle pour la protection d’un véritable patrimoine national, en l’incorporant dans la culture et en promouvant un développement durable dans les pays producteurs de vin du monde entier.

Big data analysis of pesticides from the vine to the winery

Of biocontrol products and resistant grape varieties, synthetic pesticides are still widely used to control fungal diseases and protect vines from potential damage caused by pests. The use of pesticides is strictly regulated, and their use can sometimes lead to transfer from the grapes to the must and then into the wine. The study of pesticide residues in grapes and wines is commonly carried out by wine producers in order, among other things, to optimize treatment routes, check that products comply with regulations, and ultimately guarantee the food safety of the wine.

Application of cyclic voltammetry to the classification of enological tannins in relationship to oxygen consumption rate and botanical origin 

Enological tannins are a diversified group of winemaking products that vary in several aspects such as chemical composition, botanical origin, and production method. In consideration of their richness in phenolic compounds, one of their main application in vinification is related to their antioxidant capacity, in particular their ability to consume oxygen during red wine maturation.

Screening of phenolic compounds and antioxidant potential of grapes, wine and grape by-products

Polyphenols, bioactive secondary metabolites abundantly found in various grapevine components such as stalks, skins, and seeds, have attracted considerable attention in recent decades due to their potential health benefits. These compounds, including flavan-3-ols, flavanols, flavones, and stilbenes, are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Evaluation of spraying effects of plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle on two different training systems of vine in Northeast China

In recent years, the application of plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in agricultural pest control has become more and more popular. However, there are few reports about the application of plant protection UAV for wine grapes, and there are no studies comparing the spraying effect of plant protection UAV with that of manual operation in vineyards. In this context, the objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of using plant protection UAV in vineyards instead of manual operations by evaluating the effectiveness of UAV spray in two common grape training systems in Northeast China.

Opportunities and challenges in the adoption of new grape varieties by producers: A case study from the Northeastern United

Grape breeding for resistance to fungal diseases is today very dynamic throughout the world notably in France. New varieties are obtained by hybridization between susceptible varieties of the vitis vinifera species and resistant genotypes, with breeding programs generally lasting between 15 and 25 years and resulting in the registration of a few new varieties. Though these varieties can provide several benefits and can be planted by winegrowers, they are not always systematically adopted.
