From Vine to Value: Sustainable Grape Production, By-Product Valorization, and Berry Bioactives

Dear Colleagues,

Viticulture is facing a range of challenges associated with rising temperatures and increasingly frequent drought periods, which significantly affect grapevine phenology, physiology, and yield, as well as fruit and wine quality. The integration of innovative technologies and sustainable vineyard management practices is therefore essential to enhance resilience, optimize resource use, and maintain productivity and quality under changing climate conditions.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide insights into innovative research that addresses topics such as sustainable vineyard management practices, efficient water use, soil management and enhancement of soil carbon stocks, valorization of vineyard by-products like pruning residues, effects of grapevine nutrition, different fertilization strategies, and soil amendments on the grapevine physiology and chemical composition of grape berries.
