Abstract

RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Florencia. Scientific development and modern wine industry: the origins and consolidation of Enology Station of Mendoza (Argentina), 1904-1920. Mundo agr. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.18, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

In this article we propose to undertake a reconstruction of the development of the 'Estación Enológica', next to 'Escuela Nacional de Vitivinicultura', between 1904 to 1920 in Mendoza province. This study is of vital importance as we consider this place was a pioneer center in the achievement of scientific and technical studies. These were the basis for the consolidation of quality wine industry, which had many shortcomings by then, and they triggered changes in Mendoza´s agroindustry. Besides, Estación Enológica became a meeting place for people who graduated from that school to share experiences and concerns. Apart from carrying out the reconstruction of the development, we will also investigate possibilities of applying these studies to vineyards.

Keywords : Scientific knowledges; wine industry; Mendoza.
