Article Abstract
Grape ripening accelerates under warmer and drier conditions, resulting in the accumulation of sugars ('technological' maturity) being decoupled from phenolic and aromatic composition. This study investigated the effect of different rates of ripening on the composition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling wines. Manipulating crop load and irrigation led to distinct rates of berry ripening. In the resulting wines, reduced crop load affected the aroma composition, altering the profile and abundance of grape-derived compounds and fermentative esters. Phenolic composition was impacted by the irrigation regime, with color and tannin increased by late season irrigation. In Cabernet Sauvignon, the combination of treatments led to the largest ripening delay (3 weeks), resulting in less green and more fruity compounds, and improved phenolic composition. By mapping grape and wine metabolites and exploring their relationship, the outcomes of this study demonstrate the importance of ripening rates in determining wine quality.

Background: As climate warms, the sugars and secondary metabolites in grapes gradually become uncoupled during development, resulting in the phenomenon of overripe fruit becoming more frequent around the world, especially in some arid regions. However, the key metabolic regulations to grape overripening are still poorly understood. To address this, we conducted a multi-omics study on Cabernet Sauvignon overripe berries over two years, analyzing the non-targeted metabolome, transcriptome, and proteome, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for delayed harvest strategies based on grape quality.

During the aging process, oxygen regulation was applied to Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine (CSDRW) from the Turpan region. Through physicochemical analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), combined with differential significance analysis and sensory evaluation, this study analyzed the effects of different oxygen concentrations on the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine from Turpan. The results indicated that oxygen regulation facilitated the polymerization of phenolic substances, enhanced color intensity, and reduced the content of total sulfur and anthocyanins.

Vitis vinifera grapevines are susceptible to downy and powdery mildews, requiring 4-10 chemical treatments per season in Israel. Resistant grape varieties offer an alternative. Hybrid varieties developed by the Weinbauinstitut Freiburg were introduced in Israel for disease resistance evaluation in different climatic regions through an understanding of the resistance mechanism based on secondary metabolite profiles.

Grape (Vitis vinifera) is susceptible to fungal pathogens and, consequently, severe yield losses. Investigating the immune mechanisms of the disease-resistant Chinese wild grapes is crucial for developing sustainable disease resistance technologies. Here, we conducted whole-transcriptome and methylated-RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing to elucidate the immune defence mechanisms underlying grapevine responses to bacterial flagellin 22 (flg22).

Rootstocks are widely used in viticulture as an agronomic measure to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. In winegrapes, the aroma is one of the major factors defining the quality of grape berries and wines. In the present work, the grape aroma and wine aroma of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) grafted on three rootstocks were investigated to inform the selection of rootstocks to utilize.
