It was interesting times. I bought a basic computer and printer (£1000!) and a sec- ond-hand ex-gardener’s transit van (£3000) and £5000 of wine stock. Within a few short months I took on Martin and then Janice part-time, even though in reality I couldn’t afford to.

  • Microbial and Chemical Analysis of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts from Chambourcin Hybrid Grapes for Potential Use in Winemaking
    fermentation Article Microbial and Chemical Analysis of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts from Chambourcin Hybrid Grapes for Potential Use in Winemaking Chun Tang Feng, Xue Du and Josephine Wee * Department of Food Science, The Pennsylvania State University, Rodney A. Erickson Food Science Building, State College, PA 16803, USA; [email protected] (C.T.F.); [email protected] (X.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-814-863-2956 Abstract: Native microorganisms present on grapes can influence final wine quality. Chambourcin is the most abundant hybrid grape grown in Pennsylvania and is more resistant to cold temperatures and fungal diseases compared to Vitis vinifera. Here, non-Saccharomyces yeasts were isolated from spontaneously fermenting Chambourcin must from three regional vineyards. Using cultured-based methods and ITS sequencing, Hanseniaspora and Pichia spp. were the most dominant genus out of 29 fungal species identified. Five strains of Hanseniaspora uvarum, H. opuntiae, Pichia kluyveri, P. kudriavzevii, and Aureobasidium pullulans were characterized for the ability to tolerate sulfite and ethanol. Hanseniaspora opuntiae PSWCC64 and P. kudriavzevii PSWCC102 can tolerate 8–10% ethanol and were able to utilize 60–80% sugars during fermentation. Laboratory scale fermentations of candidate strain into sterile Chambourcin juice allowed for analyzing compounds associated with wine flavor. Nine nonvolatile compounds were conserved in inoculated fermentations. In contrast, Hanseniaspora strains PSWCC64 and PSWCC70 were positively correlated with 2-heptanol and ionone associated to fruity and floral odor and P. kudriazevii PSWCC102 was positively correlated with a Citation: Feng, C.T.; Du, X.; Wee, J.

    Italian market of organic wine: a survey on production system characteristics and marketing strategies Alessandra Castellini*, Christine Mauracher**, Isabella Procidano** and Giovanna Sacchi** * Dept. of Agricultural Sciences DipSA, Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna [email protected] ** Dept. of Management, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice [email protected] Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the 140th EAAE Seminar, “Theories and Empirical Applications on Policy and Governance of Agri-food Value Chains,” Perugia, Italy, December 13-15, 2013 Copyright 2013 by [authors]. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 1 1. Introduction Wine is commonly recognised as a particular type of processed agrifood product, showing several different characteristics. Above all a close relationship is commonly assigned between wine and land of origin, the environment and the ecosystem in general (including not only natural aspects but also human skills, tradition, etc.), based on a complex web of interrelation between all the involved elements/operators. Since the 70s the interest on “clean wine-growing” has been increasing among the operators; this fact has also caused the development and the improving of organic processes for wine production (Iordachescu et al., 2009). For long time the legislation framework on the organic wine regulations has been incomplete and inefficient: EC Reg. 2092/911 and, after this, EC Reg. 834/20072 were extremely generic and through these Regulations it has been only possible to certify as “organic” the raw material (grapes from organically growing technique) and not the whole wine-making process.

  • Return to Terroir
    RETURN TO TERROIR “Biodynamy, wine growing for the future” TASTING Is biodynamic Wine-growing a Myth or a Realit y? By Nicolas Joly – Coulée de Serrant There is no doubt that more and more fascinated private individuals and professionals are discovering a source of complexity, a surge of vitality, and an additional purity in the increasing number of biodynamic wines. There is also no doubt that this type of agriculture, which differs from biological agriculture insofar as it adds very small amounts of preparations per hectares, quantities varying from one to one hundred grams, that have usually been dynamised in water, can upset those who try to understand it. How can such small quantities have any real effect on the quality of wine? Wouldn’t the result be the same with simple biological agriculture? Faced with these questions, the group of those in favour and those against puff themselves up by publicly making boasts on a regular basis, as behind the scenes both sides prepare for battle. In order to pass from the profound convictions which generate belief to knowledge and thus a more rigorous demonstration, there is finally a step to be taken here. It is on this approach that partially depends the authenticity of the quality of our future wines. Let us begin by observing the corpse of an animal that has just died. In a few weeks its simple elements will again be part of the earth. Thus the question to ask is: where are the energies which constructed this organism in such a sophisticated manner? Who took the calcium to sculpt the bone? Who took the silica to form the hair? Don’t these forces exist in other ways besides forming embryos? A seed, an egg.

  • Natural, Organic & Biodynamic Wine
    Natural, Organic & Biodynamic Wine “NATURAL” Wine: • General, broad reference to wines made in low-tech, non-interventionist style, e.g…. o Low or no use of chemicals in vineyard o Native yeasts used in fermentation o Low or no use of sulfur in winery o No chemical or technical “adjustments” to the final wine • Technically, zero regulations about what can/can’t be declared “natural” “ORGANIC” Wine: • Organic defined by USDA National Organic Program (NOP) as a product that uses no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation • To be labeled as organic in US, must be inspected and approved by USDA • TTB, USDA and NOP labeling laws for wines sold in the US: o Organic: at least 95% organically produced ingredients and NO added sulfur allowed (or less than 10 ppm) o 100% Organic: 100% organically produced ingredients and NO added sulfur allowed (or less than 10 ppm) § Additional approved labeling: USDA Organic seal; “Certified Organic by ____” o Made from organic grapes: MUST note “contains sulfites” § Is it a problem if “made from organic grapes” can also include up to 30% non- organic grapes or “other ingredients”? § Is it a problem if many wines are made entirely organically yet with sulfur and so can’t be labeled organic when sold in US? § In the EU, wines with up to 100 ppm of sulfites can be labeled organic “BIODYNAMIC” Wine: • Biodynamic agriculture is a sustainable system proposed by Rudolf Steiner that involves using natural preparations in the field and following the lunar calendar for viticulture/vinification steps o Natural preparations are all organic, herb-, root- or animal-based products o Lunar calendar suggests fruit/flower/root/leaf days corresponding to certain tasks such as picking, pruning, racking, bottling • Many producers practice biodynamics but are not certified (expensive process) • Major certifying body is Demeter; certified wines can carry seal on their label All class outlines are copyright of Corkbuzz Wine Studio.

  • The Need for Cooperation and Collaboration in the Spanish Natural Wine Industry
    Vol. 3, No. 1 FINDING COMMON GROUND: THE NEED FOR COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION IN THE SPANISH NATURAL WINE INDUSTRY Rosana Fuentes Fernández, Campus Universitario Villanueva de Gállego, Spain INTRODUCTION atural wines represented an emerging wine segment that appeared to be growing in popularity among the Generation Y (Millennials) and Generation Z, demographic N groups that tended to be health and environmentally conscious consumers. Natural wines were loosely defined as those made from grapes grown by small, independent farms and harvested by hand from sustainable, organic, or biodynamic vineyards. These wines typically contained no additives or sulfites, and therefore were believed to be a healthier alternative to their mass-produced counterparts. For growers and producers, natural wine was a philosophy, a way of life, a route “chosen out of conviction and a desire to nurture the most fundamental force of all—Life” (Legeron, 2017: 95). Traditional wine-making techniques (pre-WWII) were a time-honored and essential part of what makes a wine “natural.” Many of these wine-making techniques were passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, the vineyards themselves tended to have very old vines. As such, the European Union (EU) appeared to be on the forefront of producing natural wines since many small, traditional wine businesses were located there. Wine consumption trends showed that consumers were increasingly drinking less wine, but at the same time were more health conscious, and this philosophy was impacting their purchasing decisions (IWSR, 2019; Sorvino, 2019). This was a significant trend for the natural wine segment. However, natural wine producers faced many challenges: limited resources, geographic isolation, lack of consumer education, and difficult growing conditions.
