Water reduction practices in European wineries of different size
Jean-Michel Desseigne, IFV - French Institute of Vine and Wine (France)
Why must we adopt water sparing practices? From preserving and protecting this precious resource, to reinforcing national and EU environmental regulations, to reaching Standards of environmental management systems and also cost reduction.
In this recording of the webinar “Performing Cleaning & Water Saving: Experimental Data And Good Practices” the speaker Jean-Michel Desseigne talks about sustainable cleaning of cellar equipment, cleaning and sanitising procedures for greater efficiency and water saving, backed up by experimental data and providing also good practices.
Jean-Michel Desseigne is part of the group IFV (Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin) Rhône-Mediterranee in Rodilhan (France), and he’s in charge of the IFV sector of activity “Winemaking Equipment and Processes”. Since 2000, he’s teaching “engineering of winemaking processes” at Supagro of Montpellier. His seminar “rational hygiene in the cellar” has been proposed to a large number of French winemakers.

Wine is fundamentally a high-intervention product, and along all stages from harvest to bottling it's our job to guarantee safety and quality, but it's also up to us to research, experiment, and ad...
Producing a wine according to our oenological objective, wanting to express the variety, but adapting practices according to the sanitary status of the grapes, is continuous experimentation. We aga...
Phenolic composition of grapes has an important impact on the final intrinsic quality of (red) wines. Wine taste, mouthfeel and colour are driven principally by phenolic compounds present in grapes...
For the production of quality sparkling wines, it is important to ensure the separation of the correct phenolic profiles of must fractions. Find out how UV-Visible spectroscopy, together with chemo...
Chemical, biochemical and physiological factors influence the composition of the retronasal aroma during wine consumption, but not only tannins influence mouthfeel: anthocyanins do too. New methods...
What's the importance of varietal thiols, esters and glycerol content from an organoleptic quality point of view? How do volatile compounds evolve during wine aging and storage conditions? Are ther...
