Grapevine is a crop of major economical interest, and wine represents a multicultural heritage which has been growing since several milleniums. New varieties better adapted to new climatic conditions might have to be planted, which may affect wine typicity.

FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Grapevine is a crop of major economical interest, and wine represents a multicultural heritage which has been growing since several milleniums. Yet, modern viticulture must face several challenges. Global climate has increased berry sugar content (and alcohol in the wine) whereas phenolic and aromatic ripeness are not always achieved. Water supply is becoming shorter. New varieties better adapted to new climatic conditions might have to be planted, which may affect wine typicity. Phytochemical treatments are more controlled, and the consumer pays increasing attention to environmentally safe practices. New methods reducing pesticide use, but maintaining yield and typicity, must be designed.The present book illustrates the recent progress made in ecophysiology, molecular and cell biology, and pathology of grapevine, as well as in precision viticulture and berry composition. Combination of these new tools with field observations will undoubtly make it easier to face the challenges described above. These multidisciplinary contributions will be of interest to anyone involved in grapevine and wine activities.

Review

From the reviews:"Serge Delrot, Hipolito Medrano … and Stella Grando have produced an excellent compilation of technical papers spanning the disciplines within Grapevine Biology, from Viticulture and Physiology to Chemistry, Molecular Biology and Systems Biology. … is a useful reference to researchers and scientists working in grapevine science and related areas. … The great strength of this book is in the extensive collection of technical methods and approaches … . I would recommend this book as a standard reference for students and researchers in the vine sciences." (John Moore, Journal of Wine Research, Vol. 24 (1), 2013)
