For its fourth edition, under the auspices of the UNESCO Chair « Culture and Traditions of Wines » and the Institut Jules Guyot at University of Burgundy, the Wine Active Compounds (WAC) 2017 international conference will take place in Beaune, France from Wednesday march 29 to Friday march 31, 2017.
 
The international WAC conferences have become an essential meeting point for promoting interdisciplinary wine sciences, considering wine active compounds related to vineyard managements, to processes of elaboration of wine, to their biological roles and to their taste/olfactory properties.

  • The impact of such practices (reduction of inputs, alternatives…) on the quality of wine
  • Associated mechanisms of regulation/norms
  • Consumer preferences
  • Ethics of such practices
  • Their history
You are welcome to submit abstracts for oral and/or poster communications.
