- Abstract
Introduction. The choice of suitable vine cultivars to icewine production is exerting an increasingly influence on market supply expanding the premium segment of agricultural sector. Materials and methods. Databases and international laws in winemaking were used to assessing the completed performance associated with application of different grape varieties for icewine production in different countries. Results and Discussion. Current study illustrates the comprehensive range of grapes used by winemakers who decided to leave vines during low temperature in different producing countries among which are Germany, The Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Canada. The states listed compose the most diverse grape groups for finished wines. Europe has the various grapes growing in winter to freeze but the total Icewine amount is lower compare to countries located in the North America including Canada and the United States of America. Majority of countries largely adopt Vitis vinifera possessing thick-skin that offers better protection against winter damage, however, varieties of this class are relatively sensitive to weather than hybrids or autochthonous grapes. Riesling is the most common used for icewine processing due to appreciation of characteristics of vine during winter period. Climate conditions are the main contributor to obtaining Icewine crops that can significantly decrease the expected volumes of harvest, thuswise grapes protective measures are provided before low temperatures. Conclusions. The result obtained from review based on the determining of the use of various cultivars demonstrates the development and expansion of icewines within the world wine society.
