In response, the industry has introduced various innovations that break with conventional practices and are beginning to emerge on the global market. In viticulture, three noteworthy strategies involve cultivating grape varieties that can withstand extreme weather, such as developing fungus-resistant varieties, migrating drought-tolerant varieties northwards, and reviving autochthonous varieties. In oenology, wine production is evolving towards more natural and healthier wines, such as sulphite-free or alcohol-free. This opinion-driven review summarises the merits and drawbacks of these innovations, examining professionals’ and consumers’ attitudes through the latest food science studies. Developing resistant varieties and reviving forgotten ones appear to offer great potential for growth, which professionals and consumers seem willing to support. Reducing the alcohol content would also be beneficial for the future, given the trend towards moderation in consumption.","language":null,"keywords":[],"project":{"code":"25PIT080","name":"Programme annuel IFV 2025"},"notice-url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cofs.2025.101367","document-url":null,"productions":[],"taxa":[],"production-systems":[],"areas":[],"pests":[]}
