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.
