“…Sustainable water and soil management are the core of several sustainability programs in the wine sector ( Costa et al., 2022 ) and other perennial woody crops, such as olive groves and almond orchards ( Andrade et al., 2014 ; Garcia-Tejero et al., 2018 ; Fraga et al., 2021 ). More sustainable practices related to soil management can help to alleviate the harmful effects of more extreme drought and heat events due to climate change.…”

“…Drier conditions exacerbate the effects of heat stress because dry soils cannot provide latent heat cooling by evapotranspiration, resulting in higher and more stressful temperatures at the plant level ( Seneviratne et al., 2010 ; Stéfanon et al., 2014 ; Guion et al., 2022 ). This not only affects vine’s phenology but also yields and vines longevity and, ultimately the overall sustainability of the sector (economical, environmental and social) ( Santos et al., 2020 ; Costa et al., 2022 ; Droulia and Charalampopoulos, 2022 ). In addition, these climatic scenarios may limit the expansion of the cultivated area in some regions of Mediterranean countries and may force the relocation of vineyards at higher altitudes ( Jones, 2012 ).…”

The wine sector faces important challenges related to sustainability issues and the impact of climate change. More frequent extreme climate conditions (high temperatures coupled with severe drought periods) have become a matter of concern for the wine sector of typically dry and warm regions, such as the Mediterranean European countries. Soil is a natural resource crucial to sustaining the equilibrium of ecosystems, economic growth and people’s prosperity worldwide. In viticulture, soils have a great influence on crop performance (growth, yield and berry composition) and wine quality, as the soil is a central component of the terroir. Soil temperature (ST) affects multiple physical, chemical and biological processes occurring in the soil as well as in plants growing on it. Moreover, the impact of ST is stronger in row crops such as grapevine, since it favors soil exposition to radiation and favors evapotranspiration. The role of ST on crop performance remains poorly described, especially under more extreme climatic conditions. Therefore, a better understanding of the impact of ST in vineyards (vine plants, weeds, microbiota) can help to better manage and predict vineyards’ performance, plant-soil relations and soil microbiome under more extreme climate conditions. In addition, soil and plant thermal data can be integrated into Decision Support Systems (DSS) to support vineyard management. In this paper, the role of ST in Mediterranean vineyards is reviewed namely in terms of its effect on vines’ ecophysiological and agronomical performance and its relation with soil properties and soil management strategies. The potential use of imaging approaches, e.g. thermography, is discussed as an alternative or complementary tool to assess ST and vertical canopy temperature profiles/gradients in vineyards. Soil management strategies to mitigate the negative impact of climate change, optimize ST variation and crop thermal microclimate (leaf and berry) are proposed and discussed, with emphasis on Mediterranean systems.

The use of toasted vine shoots (SEGs) as an enological tool is a new practice that seeks to improve wines by differentiating between them and encouraging sustainable wine production. The sensorial impact during bottle aging of wines treated with SEGs is a key factor to consider. This paper studies the influence of SEGs on Tempranillo wines treated with their own SEGs in two different doses (12 and 24 g/L) at two differences moments (during alcoholic fermentation and after malolactic fermentation) throughout 1 year of bottle aging. The results indicate that addition moment is the factor that most affects the evolution of sensorial descriptors. The greatest evolution in the wines was observed during the first 4 months, wherein improved integration of the notes related to addition of SEGs occurred. A reduction in the perception of dryness and bitterness was observed in the treated wines, therefore, SEGs could be considered accelerators to eliminate these initial sensations from wines.

“…At the same time, local consumers remain in a search for authentic wine as a part of innovative wine production. All these facts show that there is a need for understanding and rating of different innovations as technological, ecological and social innovations for wine producers in order to track some dynamics in the sector (Costa et al, 2022). There will be a first mover advantage for those wine producers that upskill today and develop innovative expertise.…”

Up to date wine production is challenged to adopt various innovations. Current literature systematically identifies better strategies, technological improvements and emerging market opportunities with respect to sustainable viticulture. Some lack of knowledge and practice is related with the impact on the local community for leveraging on all positive impacts of wine conventional and eco-innovations. The present paper assesses the perceptions about the relative importance of three types of innovations in the wine sector in Bulgaria -conventional, ecological and social. The tool for analysis is analytical hierarchical process (AHP) methodology and Fuzzy version of AHP. We select an equal number of managers and technological specialists from the wine industry in Bulgaria whose assessment of these three types of innovation in winemaking is decisive for both market competition and consumer behavior. The results of the study show that priority is given to conventional and eco-innovations compared to social innovations in the wine sector. At the same time, the direct involvement of wine experts in different types of innovations is emerging. Conventional or marketing innovations are better developed by sales managers, and eco-innovation as a part of sustainable production is important for technologists. The analysis is vitally important for small and middle-sized wine producers in Bulgaria who want to join worldwide wine innovation performance.
