Descripción general
Esta sesión transportará a la audiencia de los viñedos a la copa de vino: comenzando con las técnicas y tendencias de cultivo de la uva, incluidos los cultivos orgánicos, biodinámicos, las variedades emergentes, las preferencias del consumidor por técnicas de cultivo con menor impacto ambiental y que a la vez busca productos más novedosos y saludables; y que estén alejados de los productos convencionales. La industria reconoce esta presión y necesita encontrar la manera de responder mostrando que puede proporcionar al consumidor nuevos productos, al tiempo que adopta prácticas vitivinícolas que aborden las preocupaciones de los consumidores. En esta sesión intentaremos abordar este tema presentando los principales retos agrícolas de los diferentes caminos hacia la sostenibilidad y productos novedosos.
En cuanto a enología, en la última década, la vinificación natural, los vinos bajos en alcohol y la mínima intervención se han convertido en la “nueva tendencia” debido a la necesidad de hacer vinos que expresen un sentido de lugar para atraer a los consumidores que demandan vinos “limpios” y “más saludables”, pero también como respuesta al cambio climático, generando menos residuos y ahorrando energía en la bodega. Pero ¿qué significa realmente? En esta sesión vamos a tratar de definir los Vinos Naturales, Bajos en Alcohol y de Mínima Intervención.
Por último, exploraremos una variedad de tendencias de los consumidores quienes no son de mercadotecnia, con ejemplos reales. Discutiremos varias tendencias en el consumo de vino entre consumidores de diferentes edades, etnias, demografía social, etc. Las tendencias actuales en las actitudes de los consumidores hacia el vino, agricultura orgánica/biodinámica, vinos naturales, vegano, salud, nuevas variedades/mezclas, bajo contenido alcohólico, y envases alternativos (latas, tetras).
