FORMATION OF THE QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF WINE AS AFFECTED BY THE SOIL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Grapevine is a species with a good plasticity that can grow nearly on all types of soils except those distinguished for high salinity and bogginess. Many authors indicate the effect of different types of soils and their characteristics on grapevine’s growth, quality of fruit and processed products. Soils and grapevines where they grow as well as regularities and processes that affect the formation of vintage products were studied with the use of both field and laboratory methods. Data concerning the effect of the agrochemical characteristiics of the soil on the formation of the grape yield and vintage products are reported. The effect of the weather conditions in 2009-2011 on the formation of the quality characteristics of vintage materials was established.
