TL;DR: This is the first survey to compare healthy and Botrytis-affected spontaneous fermentations by using both culture-based and -independent molecular methods in an attempt to further illuminate the complex yeast ecology of grape must fermentations.

TL;DR: The yeast flora associated with healthy and Botrytis-infected grapes was assessed and for the first time Hanseniaspora opuntiae was encountered as an inhabitant of the grape ecosystem.

TL;DR: This study aims to assess the yeast community structure and dynamics during Greek‐style processing of natural black Conservolea olives in different brine solutions.

TL;DR: Populations isolated from winemaking environments are quite diverse at the genetic level: neither clonal-like behaviour nor specific genetic signature were associated with the different vineyards/wineries, suggesting that C. zemplinina is not under selective pressure in winemmaking environments.

TL;DR: The major impacts of global warming on grape phenology and viticulture are reviewed and a focus is focused on the physiological and molecular responses of the grapevine to heat stress.
