Viticultural research

More recently, studies of wine and beer have initiated techniques of statistically vaUd sensory analysis. Scientific studies involving wine continue in these areas, building on past discoveries. Natural phenols as desirable dietary components and monitors of storage and aging reactions are currently active fields. Viticultural research, as well as enological, continues to improve grapes and the wines made from them (11).

At present, the Czech collection of grapevine genetic resources is concentrated in three important research institutions and workplaces. This collection of grapevine genetic resources is coordinated from the Crop Research Institute in Prague-Ruzyne and its Viticultural Research Station in Karlstejn. Other genetic resources... 

The wine industry may have finally realized that new cultivars will be needed in the near future. E J Gallo, the largest winery in the world, has a long reputation for conducting viticultural research (Caputi, 2000). In 2012, they hired Dr Peter Cousins,...

In 1938, the Wine Advisory Board was organized under the Department of Agriculture of the State of California. It collected a small tax on each gallon of California wine sold and from these funds supported public relations, advertising, and research for the industry. The research covered a wide field from viticultural and enological research, largely at the University of California, to more than 100 research projects on the possible health values of wine. The Wine Advisory Board was abolished in 1975 and its functions were assumed largely by the Wine Institute. 

Finally, following Repeal, the University personnel published numerous bulletins, circulars, and books on grape and wine production, incorporating the results of their own and other research and the best industry practices of the time. These publications were of great value not only to grape growers and winemakers but also to students at the University of California and elsewhere. They established the reputation of the University of California as one of the most important centers of research in enology and viticulture in the world.

The primary conclusion reached in this research is that none of the viticultural or enological ctors examined affected the color due to copigmentation of the anthocyanins. 

We would like to thank the following wineries for providing the wine samples and the associated viticultural and enological information used in this research Beringer Vineyards, Cain Cellars, Cakebread Cellars, Franciscan Vineyards, La Jota Vineyard Co., Markham Vineyards, Robert Mondavi Winery, Newton Vineyards, Raymond Vineyards, Spring Mountain Vineyards, Stag s Leap Wine Cellars and Trefethen Vineyards. 

P. Hand and E. Waters are thanked for their helpful comments. This project was supported by Australians grapegrowers and winemakers through their investment body, the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation, with matching funds from the Federal Government and by the Commonwealth Cooperative Research Centres Program, conducted by the CRC for Viticulture and by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
