Abstract(s)
O vinho é produzido no Algarve desde o período de ocupação Romana. Sempre foi relevante na cultura da região, mas tem alcançado particular notoriedade desde o início do século XXI com a evolução dos vinhos de Quinta, elaborados com tecnologias atuais e por técnicos com muita formação.
Contudo as alterações climáticas estão a produzir constrangimentos, quer pelo aumento da temperatura, quer pela escassez de água disponível. Fatores estes que inevitavelmente alteram as condições de produção e consequentemente as características dos vinhos obtidos. Conhecer as inovações que os produtores da região estão a introduzir para ultrapassar estes obstáculos e a perceção que os mesmos têm relativamente às exigências dos consumidores face a todas estas alterações é o principal objetivo do desenvolvimento deste trabalho.
Para tal foi formulado um questionário aos 50 produtores da região do Algarve, caraterizados pelas dimensões e padrões de exportação, enoturismo e certificação.
Os resultados obtidos confirmam a necessidade de novas adaptações às alterações climáticas devidas a escassez de água e ao aumento da temperatura, que estão a alterar os perfis do vinho, nomeadamente o teor alcoólico. Razão por que a rega gota a gota é a preferida pelos inquiridos 76%. Também notória a tendência para procura de castas mais resistentes à seca 40%. E como essas alterações estão a influenciar alguns hábitos de consumo, como o aumento da preferência de vinho branco ou rosado ao invés de vinho tinto.
Palavras
Wine has been produced in the Algarve since the Roman occupation. It has always been an important part of the region's culture, but it has achieved particular notoriety since the beginning of the 21st century with the evolution of estate wines, made using the latest technology and by highly trained technicians. However, climate change is causing constraints, both due to rising temperatures and the scarcity of available water. These factors inevitably alter production conditions and consequently the characteristics of the wines produced. The main aim of this study was to find out what innovations the region's producers are introducing to overcome these obstacles and their perception of consumer demands in the face of all these changes. To this end, a questionnaire was sent to 50 producers in the Algarve region, characterized by their size and export patterns, wine tourism and certification. The results obtained confirm the need for new adaptations to climate change due to water scarcity and rising temperatures, which are altering wine profiles, particularly alcohol content. This is why drip irrigation is preferred by 76% of respondents. Also notable is the tendency to look for more drought-resistant grape varieties 40%. And how these changes are influencing some consumption habits, such as the increased preference for white or rosé wine over red wine.
