For the last four years studies have been carried out to develop the scientific and technological knowledge that will be needed to adapt viticulture and oenology to the new conditions generated by climate change and to mitigate its effects. 26 companies and 31 research groups have participated in the CENIT DEMÉTER project coordinated by Torres. Three of these research groups are headed by URV researchers: Albert Mas, who has led research into yeast; Albert Bordons, who has led research into lactic bacteria; and Fernando Zamora, who has led research into cava.
