Wine dating methods based on anthropogenic C and Cs, as well as on the cosmogenic C were studied with the aim to improve the accuracy and precision of the dating results. While the C dating method has proved to be useful for dating young and old wines, the Cs has been effective for dating of wines originating around the Cs bomb-peak observed in 1963. A new method was developed for simultaneous C and Cs dating of wines, which helped to distinguish wines originating before or after the bomb peak. The δC values also helped to solve the C age ambiguity in dating of wines around the C bomb peak. While the C dating method is always destructive one, the Cs method may use a radiochemical separation of cesium from wine samples when better precision of results is required, but it can be also a nondestructive one with direct gamma-spectrometry of wine samples, especially those that are very rare.

Purpose: To review the long history of wound management, including the methods of skin closure, asepsis, and anesthesia. Periocular techniques will be emphasized.
Methods: Literature searches and cross-referencing were used to identify historic reports addressing the management of wounds.

Global change is believed to be a major driver of the emergence of invasive pathogens. Yet, there are few documented examples that illustrate the processes that hinder or trigger their geographic spread. Here, we present phylogenetic, epidemiological and historical evidence to explain how European vineyards escaped (Xf), the vector-borne bacterium responsible for Pierce's disease (PD).

Background: Berry quality potential from a single vineyard is mainly defined based on some physicochemical parameters and subjective assessments. In this way, berry maturity variability would be a key factor affecting berry quality.
Methods: This trial aimed to study the effects of the maturity variability of berries harvested from plots of low (~37,080 kg ha), middle (~12,545 kg ha), and high (~1476 kg ha) quality potential on berry and wine physicochemical parameters of Cabernet Sauvignon in two consecutive seasons.

Asynchronous ripening is a significant challenge in winemaking. Green berries reduce alcohol and pH while increasing acidity. Green berries are rich in bitter and astringent compounds, with an unknown impact on wine quality.
