The history of viticulture and winemaking in Europe spans centuries. Demand continues to grow for organic wines and environmentally sound viticulture practices. Organic grapevine production has spread across the global and aims at producing high-quality grapes and wines while maintaining a balance between resources, living organisms, the use of external inputs including plant protection products to optimise productivity.
The greatest challenge in organic viticulture is the regulation of fungal infections. The use of resistant varieties can help in overcoming this challenge. However, not all consumers like wines made from resistant varieties and for certain traditional wines, the use of traditional grape varieties is prescribed. To control the spread of fungal diseases downy mildew and powdery mildew, organic viticulture now has a clay product associated with a small amount of copper. It is critical for producers to exploit all preventative measures, to minimise the copper application strategies, and to evaluate alternative and complementary solutions.
