Wine as cultural national heritage: 10 years of the “Vino Bebida Nacional” law in Argentina: review and lessons

Abstract

Ten years have passed since the enactment and implementation of law no. 26,870 “national drink wine” in argentina, a pioneering legislation worldwide that seeks to disseminate the cultural characteristics inherent in the production, elaboration, and consumption of wine, as well as its deep-rooted traditions. This essay delves into the effects of elevating wine to the status of a national symbol, exploring its influence on the economy, tourist promotion, and its contribution to national identity.  Through the analysis of specific cases, the lessons learned during this decade and their relevance to other wine-producing countries are examined. The impact of institutional support from public entities in recognizing the role of wine as a fundamental element in the construction of argentine cultural identity is especially highlighted, as well as its contribution to local development and tourism in wine-producing regions. Additionally, the challenges faced in the implementation of this policy are addressed, and recommendations are proposed for its application in international contexts.  This essay provides a comprehensive view of how this type of legislation can serve as a model for the protection of a true national heritage, embedding it in culture and promoting sustainable development in wine-producing countries worldwide.

El vino como patrimonio cultural nacional: 10 años de la ley “vino bebida nacional” en Argentina. Balance y lecciones 

Se conmemoran 10 años desde la promulgación e implementación de la ley n° 26.870 “vino bebida nacional” en argentina, una legislación pionera a nivel mundial que busca difundir las características culturales inherentes a la producción, elaboración y consumo del vino, así como sus tradiciones arraigadas. Este ensayo profundiza en los efectos de haber elevado al vino al estatus de símbolo nacional, explorando su influencia en la economía, la promoción turística y su contribución a la identidad nacional.  Mediante el análisis de casos específicos, se examinan las lecciones aprendidas durante esta década y su relevancia para otros países productores de vino. Se destaca especialmente el impacto del respaldo institucional por parte de entidades públicas en el reconocimiento del papel del vino como elemento fundamental en la construcción de la identidad cultural argentina, así como su contribución al desarrollo local y al turismo en las regiones vitivinícolas. Además, se abordan los desafíos enfrentados en la implementación de esta política y se proponen recomendaciones para su aplicación en contextos internacionales.  Este ensayo ofrece una visión holística de cómo este tipo de legislación puede servir como modelo para la protección de un auténtico patrimonio nacional, arraigándolo en la cultura y promoviendo un desarrollo sostenible en países productores de vino en todo el mundo.

Le vin en tant que patrimoine culturel national : 10 ans de la loi “vin boisson nationale” en argentine. Bilan et leçons

Dix ans se sont écoulés depuis la promulgation et la mise en œuvre de la loi n° 26.870 “boisson nationale : vin” en argentine, une législation pionnière dans le monde entier qui vise à diffuser les caractéristiques culturelles inhérentes à la production, à l’élaboration et à la consommation du vin, ainsi qu’à ses traditions profondément enracinées. Cet essai examine les effets de l’élévation du vin au statut de symbole national, explorant son influence sur l’économie, la promotion touristique et sa contribution à l’identité nationale.  A travers l’analyse de cas spécifiques, les leçons apprises au cours de cette décennie et leur pertinence pour d’autres pays producteurs de vin sont examinées. L’impact du soutien institutionnel des entités publiques dans la reconnaissance du rôle du vin comme élément fondamental dans la construction de l’identité culturelle argentine est particulièrement souligné, ainsi que sa contribution au développement local et au tourisme dans les régions viticoles. De plus, les défis rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre de cette politique sont abordés, et des recommandations sont proposées pour son application dans des contextes internationaux.  Cet essai offre une vue d’ensemble de la manière dont ce type de législation peut servir de modèle pour la protection d’un véritable patrimoine national, en l’incorporant dans la culture et en promouvant un développement durable dans les pays producteurs de vin du monde entier.

Sustainability as system innovation: sustainability as system innovation: a returnable system for glass wine bottles

Introduction increasing sustainability is essential and a societal challenge, requiring fundamental changes in behaviour and attitudes. This applies to both producers and consumers. For the wine industry in particular, such a change is a major challenge. An eip-agri research project is evaluating the introduction of a returnable glass system in the german wine industry as a key solution for increasing sustainability. Given the need for change associated with a returnable system, the project is theoretically grounded in systems innovation, as this approach provides solutions for complex, transformative change.

Influence of soil management and vine water regime on leaf gas exchange, berry composition and quality of Chasselas wines in Switzerland

A soil management and vine irrigation trial was carried out for 4 consecutive years from 2020 to 2023 at agroscope’s experimental vineyard in leytron (Valais, Switzerland) with the Chasselas grape variety (clone 14-33/4, grafted on 5bb). Two types of soil maintenance (bare soil with chemical weeding and sown grass) coupled with two water regimes (with and without drip irrigation from flowering to veraison) were compared in a randomized design with four replicates of 10 vines each.

Биотехнология в системе оздоровления и размножения комплексно-устойчивых сортов винограда на Юге России

The production of certified grape planting material is one of the most important problems in the Russian federation. According to the scheme for the production of healthy grape planting material, before being introduced into in vitro culture, the source plants of each variety (Moldova, Augustin, Bart) were individually assessed for typical varietal characteristics and the presence/absence of symptoms of infection by pests.

The evolution of italian vine nursery production over the past 30 years

Italy has a long history of viticulture and has become one of the world’s leading producers of vine propagation material. The Italian vine nursery industry is today highly qualified and has become highly competitive on a global scale. The quality of the material is guaranteed by compliance with European Union regulations, which have been in force since the second half of the 20th century and have subsequently been supplemented and updated.

Biomarker-based phenotyping of grapevine (vitis spp.) resistance to plasmopara viticola reveals interactions between pyramided resistance loci

Grape downy mildew, caused by plasmopara viticola, is one of the main diseases affecting viticulture worldwide and its control usually relies on frequent sprays with agrochemicals. Grapevine varieties resistant to p. Viticola represent an effective solution to control downy mildew and reduce the environmental impact of viticulture. Loci of resistance to p. Viticola (Rpv) have been introgressed from wild vitis species and some of them, like Rpv1, Rpv3.1 and Rpv10, are currently the most utilized genetic resources in grape breeding.
