7 Crop Information and Statistics Challenges and opportunities ahead Despite the positive development and the achieved market importance, quite a few challenges remain. Viticulture is “by nature” basically a monoculture, and thus in extraordinary need of adopted and tailored solutions. Especially in the context of disease and pest management, increased research efforts are needed. On top of the list is the need to achieve a reduction or better even a replacement of copper as a fungicide, as copper has quite some toxic impact on soil organisms. Another challenge is the governmental regulations hindering grape growers to plant interspecific varieties and market wine derived from these grapes. Labeling wine as organic is especially difficult in the USA, as the law requires organic wines to be free of sulphates! Consequently, most organic wines are not labeled as ”organic wine,” but as wine “made with organically grown grapes.” A question open for debate seems to be whether there is a need to compensate lower yields and potentially higher (labor) inputs through subsidies. In the case of wine, lower yields are closely related to higher quality. If better quality is appreciated by a corresponding demand and thus with higher prices, this allow organic wine growers to make a living from wine growing, not depending on subsidies. For the grape and wine production in so-called developing countries with viticulture, there is an interesting potential to increase the premium price if criteria for fair trade are met. Successful examples combining organic and fair trade e.g. from South Africa give promising indications about the synergy potential for organic wine. We can conclude that the future perspectives for the organic grape, raisin and wine sector are very good as the increase in awareness and the growing demand for high quality food matches so well with the logic that the wines along with the meals are also of organic origin and thus of best quality.
