“Is biodiversity linked with farm management options in vineyard landscapes? A case study combining ecological indicators within a hybrid modelling framework”, Ecological Indicators, 2021
This blog post is based on a recently published manuscript in the journal Ecological Indicators (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.107012). Our work comes in the context of the objective, set by the European Union, to halt biodiversity erosion in agricultural landscapes. Multifunctional agri-environment measures, compatible with modern farm management, should be tested and prove effective to reverse the ongoing declines in biodiversity and ecosystem services.

French Critics Rate Organic and Biodynamic Wines 6-12 Points Higher in Scores Compared to Conventional or Sustainable Wines, Wine Economists Find
English wine critic Jancis Robinson has said publicly that she can taste when a wine is biodynamic. Robert Parker has said biodynamic wines taste better. And French wine importer Kermit Lynch (who owns a vineyard in France) said he could taste the difference between conventional and biodynamic grapes. Until now, many considered such statements to be purely subjective.

All about terroir
A lot of things have been said and written about the wine term, terroir. Not all of it good.
Just a few years ago a U.C. Davis Professor of Viticulture published a book called Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing (University of California Press). In the book the professor stated outright that terroir is a crock essentially because “minerals derived from rocks may represent a relatively small part of the soil’s impact on plants,” and “mineral nutrients have no established contribution to flavor” in wines. Because of that, Matthews concludes, terroir is nothing more than a “shibboleth that establishes an in-group in a world unto itself... This isn’t wine appreciation… it is more like wine snobbery.”

Do Organic and Biodynamic Wines Get Higher Scores? That Isn’t What the Evidence Says.
In issue 183 (2021) of Ecological Economics Magali A. Delmas and Oliver Gergaud purport to present results that show that externally certified organic and biodynamic wines score 6.2 and 5.6 percentage points respectively higher in blind tastings by expert wine reviewers than wines without these certifications.
In fact, their paper does not show this. Rather, it shows, if anything, that more expensive wines get higher scores, an intuitive result that is already well established.

Wines produced from organic or biodynamically produced grapes do taste better, according to two separate studies analysing the scores of 200,000 wines given by independent critics in both California and France.
Magali Delmas, a professor at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, and Olivier Gergaud, a professor of Economics at the KEDGE Business School in Bordeaux, first published a study in 2016 analysing the scores of wines produced from organically grapes in California. The pair looked at the scores of 74,000 wines rated by Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator, finding that critics scored eco-labeled, organic California wines 4.1% higher than conventional wines – those not certified by a third-party organisation as organic or biodynamic. In February 2021, the pair published the results of a second study in the journal Ecological Economics, this time looking at 128,000 wines produced in France, and again found that those certified organic, or biodynamic, scored higher.

Cold plasma at atmospheric pressure for eliminating Brettanomyces from oak wood 16 March 2021 18:29 |

Cold plasma at atmospheric pressure for eliminating Brettanomyces from oak wood
Watch a video extract from the presentation
ABSTRACT
In the oenological industry, the maintenance and sanitation of oak barrels has become a fundamental task.
The wood has a porous structure that facilitates the penetration not only of the wine, but of the microorganisms it contains, such as the alterative yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis.
Although the most widely used method of sanitizing barrels is the burning of sulfur tablets, there is a European directive that will limit this practice, even when an effective alternative has not yet been found.
This research is part of a project that studies the application of cold plasma at atmospheric pressure (APCP) to sanitize oak wood staves. This alternative technology to sulfur is respectful with the environment.

What Makes Natural Wine Exclusionary? The Name, Some Say
Megan Bell, winemaker at Margins Wine, is frustrated by the term “natural wine.”
While there’s no official U.S. designation, it generally refers to wines made without chemicals, flavoring or coloring agents, as well as no added sugars or acids, fining or filtration. Many believe that natural wines should be made without additional sulfur or temperature-controlling agents like dry ice, though others make exceptions for those practices. Despite such porous parameters, Bell finds the term exclusionary.

It’s not news that wine is changing. As climate and other factors continue to affect the global winemaking landscape, new styles and methods are becoming more prevalent across regions, and Burgundy is no exception. Regarded as the birthplace of terroir — and home to some of the world’s most expensive wines — the region remains the holy grail for novices, industry folk, and collectors alike. However, a new style of winemaking is on the rise, and it’s not exactly what many of us expected.

Bio-protection in oenology: a real alternative to sulfites?
Introduction
Since more than ten years, the use of sulfites in food and wine industries faces challenges regarding consumers acceptance. Sulfites represent a chemical additive that could trigger various reactions in sensitive individuals (Lisanti et al., 2019). The use of sulfur dioxide (SO2) as wine additive is able to ensure both antioxidant protection and microbiological stability. In spite of these undeniable advantages, in the last two decades the presence of SO2 in wine has raised concerns about potential adverse clinical effects in sensitive individuals.

ZEOWINE: the synergy between zeolite and compost. Effects on vine physiology and grape quality
Climate change has a relevant impact on the vines maturation. The consequences are directly reflected in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the grapes. There is an imbalance of maturation: the sugar content is in excess compared to anthocyanins content. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of Zeowine (organic compost added zeolite) on ecophysiology, technological maturity and phenolic maturity of Vitis vinifera L. cv Sangiovese. 3 treatments have been established: Zeowine, Zeolite and Compost. During the season, measurements were made of single-leaf gas exchange and midday water potential. In addition, the parameters of technological maturity (° brix, acidity and weight of berries) and the anthocyanins content were analyzed. Zeowine treatment showed less negative water potential, a higher rate of photosynthesis, and higher levels of anthocyanins.

Why biodynamic wine can never be vegan 19 July 2021 17:07 |

Why biodynamic wine can never be vegan
Early vegan pioneer, Leslie J Cross, defined veganism as seeking ‘an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man‘. Today, The Vegan Society defines veganism as a ‘philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose‘. Alex J. O’Connor has noted that ‘veganism is not about food‘ while Jacy Reese Anthis argues there to be ‘strong practical reasons to oppose any commodification of animals, not just that which is cruel or egregious‘. For the layman, veganism is an ethical framework that objects to any practice or product necessitating the slaughter and/or commodification of animals.

Orange wines: tannin extraction kinetics during maceration of white grapes
ABSTRACT
Color, astringency and related in-mouth sensations of orange wines, also known as amber wines, are mainly attributable to their tannin. It is extracted in considerable but highly variable amounts and qualities during the long maceration period of such whites. This study focusses upon the assessment of tannin extraction using simple total phenol measurements accessible to commercial winery settings. They show that comparable to red winemaking, fruit characteristics (cultivar, ripeness) as well as the duration and technical framework conditions of the maceration period determine the content of extracted tannins. However, a longer maceration time is required for its exhaustive extraction than for red wine. Depending on the fruit, it can last from one to well over three months. The tannin levels obtained in this process approach those of light red wines and require appropriate measures for maturation during aging. For this reason, orange wines cannot be compared with either standard white wines or with red wines.

Do biodynamic wines taste better than organic wines?
We have heard a lot about organic wine in recent years. This is made from grapes that have been grown using what is intended to be a more “natural” agricultural procedure, whereby both the grape-growing and the wine-making try to use ecologically sustainable processes. This apparently produces more artisanal wines, and which might thereby be more palate-pleasing, as well.

The why, what and how of au naturel
"The most excellent wine is one which has given pleasure by its own natural qualities, nothing must be mixed with it which might obscure its natural taste,” proposed Roman agricultural writer, Columella.
