About

Grapevine red blotch disease (GRBD) and grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) are growing threats to the California wine and wine grape sector, which contributes $73 billion annually to the state’s economy. These viral diseases not only reduce grape yield and the productive lifespan of vineyards but also affect sugars and other aspects of fruit quality that are relevant to wine flavor profiles. Due to the complexity of the processing and aging winemaking involves, it can take years for the full impact of both diseases on the quality of the final product to become apparent.

In December 2024, the report Advancing Vineyard Health: Insights and Innovations for Combating Grapevine Red Blotch and Leafroll Diseases from a study that wasrequested by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) was released. This report reviews the current state of GRBD and GLD knowledge, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes key research and actions that could help reduce the spread and economic impact of these diseases.

Join us on Friday, February 14th, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST for a webinar, featuring key messages from the report Advancing Vineyard Health: Insights and Innovations for Combating Grapevine Red Blotch and Leafroll Diseases. Please register to receive updates as they are made available.

About

Please join the National Academies’ Committee on Grapevine Viruses and Disease Research on October 12-13, 2023 for its second public meeting.

The committee will convene in Washington State for this two-day event. On October 12, committee members will conduct multiple in-person site visits pertinent to the study. Some of these site visits will be open to the public, but space is limited so advanced registration is required.

Because space is limited for the Washington State site visits, the public is encouraged to attend the follow-up webinar on October 13th. This webinar will be held in a virtual setting via live stream on this event page and hosted by the committee chair, Anna Whitfield. The webinar will summarize the committee's learnings from the site visits.
