Innovations in Grape Production and Wine Science: Toward Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Viticulture and Winemaking

Dear Colleagues,

Viticulture and enology are evolving disciplines that intersect with cutting-edge science, cultural heritage, and sustainable development. This Topic, “Innovations in Grape Production and Wine Science: Toward Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Viticulture and Winemaking”, aims to showcase recent advances across the grape and wine value chain, integrating traditional practices with modern approaches. We invite contributions in areas such as precision viticulture, sustainable vineyard management, and the conservation and valorization of patrimonial wine grape varieties. Also, this Topic aims to highlight the role of key areas of wine science, including microbiology and biotechnology, wine technology and equipment, chemical and sensory analysis, and wine aging and stability. Research into the impact of climate change on grape and wine quality, as well as strategies for adaptation and resilience, are also welcome. Additionally, we encourage interdisciplinary research on enotourism, regional identity, and the socio-economic dimensions of wine production. This Topic seeks to bridge science, heritage, and innovation, offering a platform for global perspectives while drawing from the context of the Latin American Congress of Viticulture and Enology. Submissions are welcome for Horticulturae or Beverages (MDPI), depending on article scope.
