This issue of the journal contains articles on various directions in viticulture and winemaking. Thus, the studies in the field of grape breeding are presented by material devoted to the interbreeding of aboriginal varieties of Crimea, as well as complex interspecific hybrids. The viticulture section introduces a study on the response of ‘Tsvetochnyi’ variety to unfavorable environmental conditions during the growing season. Soil science is represented by a study of the use of digestate-based fertilizers in the vineyards. Methods for increasing the technical resource of cultivators are also studied. Plant protection is represented by an analysis of regulations for various foliar nutrition systems for cultivating grapes in Crimea. The section of processing and storage of agricultural products contains an analytical review devoted to modern methods of storing and managing the quality of grapes, as well as a wide range of other products - grain, citrus, berry and vegetable crops. The prospects of treating products with ultraviolet light to extend their shelf life are shown. The journal also has a gardening section.
Winemaking is presented by the study of selection of yeast strains for the production of sparkling wines from aboriginal grape variety ‘Sary Pandas’. The conclusion on the advisability of using a particular yeast culture for production of base wines for sparklings is made on the basis of analysing the results of influence of the used yeast on the formation of aroma-producing complex, foaming and organoleptic properties of base wines. The next article on microbiology is about non-Saccharomyces yeast isolated from the vineyards of Crimea. The effect of 7 yeast strains in production of white and red wine materials was studied, the most promising of them were recommended for the use. An analytical review in the field of wine chemistry aims at determining the authenticity of wines. A methodological base for determination of numerous elements contained in wine is proposed. Developments in the field of technological equipment in winemaking are presented by the article describing structure and operating principle of the UPH-850 unit for sherry production by the film method. The article provides an overview of existing sherry technologies.
