‘Chocolat noir’: A new Teinturier red wine grape cultivar with superior enological suitability
In Korea, red wine has often been produced from table-grape cultivars such as ‘Campbell Early’ and ‘Muscat Bailey A’.
GBG 2026 – Session 7: Fruit development, grape and wine composition
Analysis of grape secondary metabolites in disease-resistant grape cultivars grown in central Croatia
Breeding programs have been launched in the leading wine-growing countries and have been successful since there are multiple new disease-resistant cultivars on the market available to the vine growers.
Autochthonous yeasts from Florida vineyards produce distinct aroma profiles and support regional identity development in Muscadine wines
Florida’s wine industry generates more than $20 billion in annual economic activity, placing the state among the top three wine markets in the United States.
Basal defoliation at berry set modulates berry weight, must composition, and secondary metabolite profile in ‘Muscat Hamburg’ grapes
Grape yield and quality largely depend on achieving an optimal balance between crop load and sunlight exposure, which is essential for the development of a desirable phenolic and aromatic profile in grapes.
Biochemical markers for grape berry splitting resistance: prospects for targeted breeding
Berry splitting is a major physiological disorder in fleshy fruits that undermines quality, yield, and shelf life.
Development of a wine with controlled origin from PIWI grape varieties
On the international wine market, wines that have a controlled (and guaranteed) origin from a specific wine-growing region enjoy special attention.
Enhancing fruit quality of cold-hardy interspecific table grapes through gibberellic acid applications
The University of Minnesota has been breeding interspecific grapes for cold-climate production over the past 125 years.
Environmental effects on the secondary metabolites of PIWI cultivars across different locations in Italy
Grapevine breeding programs aim to develop cultivars that combine high productivity, oenological quality, disease resistance, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions.
Evaluation of fermentation kinetics and wine quality parameters of distinctive Florida muscadine wines fermented with autochthonous yeast strains
Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae starter cultures dominate modern wine fermentation; however, reliance on genetically uniform strains may limit expression of regional characteristics,
Impact of the enzymatic activity of autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts on wine volatile profiles
Yeasts significantly influence wine aroma through various mechanisms, particularly by producing volatile aroma compounds.
Integrated genetic and functional analyses reveal PEPC and cMDH as antagonistic regulators of grape acidity
Breeding grape cultivars with optimized acidity is a priority for climate resilience, yet identifying causal regulators of malate metabolism remains challenging due to the complexity and long generation time of whole-vine functional studies.
Oenological identity and technological challenges of PIWI varieties
Disease-resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) represent one of the most relevant achievements of contemporary grapevine breeding, developed in response to increasing environmental pressures, climate change, and the need to reduce pesticide inputs in viticulture.
Phenological characteristics of grapevine varieties released in Sremski Karlovci
At the experimental field for viticulture in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia, grape breeding started 70 years ago.
Sensory analysis of wines made from selected genotypes obtained from crosses involving Croatian native grapevine germplasm
Acceptance of new disease-resistant cultivars in viticulture and winemaking remains limited, despite their enhanced resistance to major fungal diseases.
Spring phenology and bud fruitfulness of a grapevine segregating population (Rhine Riesling × Cabernet-Sauvignon)
The rise of average temperatures worldwide influences grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) phenology by accelerating its development, starting from anticipated budbreak dates.
