Ancient and recent construction of Terroirs

Abstract

The local wine as an area identified and recognized is a complex socio-historical reality that calls an effort of observation and theoretical reflection using various social sciences that address training and development of human activities rooted in the territories.
The notion of terroir now holds both the front stage of the scientific debates hat agitate professional circles of the winemaking and marketing.
The issue that we discuss below implements a historical approach to pattern formation in wine.

The combination of disciplinary knowledge is essential to consider the overlapping of factors involved in this territorial construction.
There are 4 times logical and chronological: descriptions and looks over the vineyards, organization and demarcation of the territories, control of the vineyards and new institutions, the construction of the wine lands.

Which heat test really represents the haze risk of a white Sauvignon wine ?

AIM: Different heat tests are used to predict a white wine haze risk after bottling. The most used tests are 30-60 min. at 80°C. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information about the relationship between the wine haze observed after such tests and the turbidities observed in the bottles after the storage/transport of the wines in more realistic Summer conditions (35-46°C during 3-12 days)

Analytical and Chemometric Investigation of Phenolic Content of South African Red Wines

Phenolic compounds have been the focus of a lot of research in recent years for their important contribution to sensory characteristics of wine, their beneficial health effects, as well as the possibility they offer of characterising wines. In this contribution, a method is developed that allows the direct injection of wine samples followed by liquid

Which heat test can realistically estimate white wine haze risk?

Different heat tests are used to predict the dose of bentonite necessary to prevent wine haze after bottling. The most used tests are 60-120 min. at 80°C. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information about the relationship between these tests and the turbidities observed in the bottles after the storage/transport of the wines in realistic conditions, when temperatures reach 35-42°C during 3-12 days.

Searching for the sweet spot: a focus on wine dealcoholization

It is well known that the vinification of grapes at full maturation can produce rich, full-bodied wines,
with intense and complex flavour profiles. However, the juice obtained from such grapes may have very
high sugar concentration, resulting in wines with an excessive concentration of ethanol. In addition, the decoupling between technological maturity and phenolic/aromatic one due to global warming, exacerbates this problem in some wine-growing regions. In parallel with the increase of the mean alcohol content of wines on the market, also the demand for reduced alcohol beverages has increased in recent years, mainly as a result of health and social concerns about the risks related to the consumption of alcohol.
