Beer consumption has increased worldwide, positioning it as the most consumed alcoholic beverage on the market. Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewing yeasts have specific genetic characteristics that allow them to survive in malt wort using maltose and maltotriose as the principal carbon source. However, metabolizing these sugars is challenging for non-brewery Saccharomyces strains under typical brewing conditions, which involve high osmotic stress and low temperatures. These conditions restrict beer producers to a limited range of yeast strains, increasing their cost and contributing to beer flavors uniformity. Here, we performed an adaptive evolution process to improve the fermentative capacities of S. cerevisiae winemaking yeasts isolated from Chilean vineyards to allow their use in brewing. Initially, we screened 50 strains of viticultural origin collected from different areas of Chile. Five strains were selected based on their fermentative capacities, sugar consumption, flavor and aroma, after which were subjected to an adaptive evolution process of 600 generations. We obtained an evolved strain that was able to consume maltose and maltotriose, growing in very high gravity wort (29°P) and at low temperatures (18°C) without shaking. We used DNA sequencing to examine genome changes that could explain the superior beermaking phenotype of the evolved strain. We found that the evolved strain completely lost a parental genome and showed aneuploidies, resulting in gene copy number variations. Interestingly, duplications in genes related to maltose metabolism (IMA1, MAL13 and MAL11) were observed. Moreover, we also found 160 genes that lost a copy in the evolved strain, of which three showed complete loss: FLO5, PAU8, and SEO1. These genes are related to wine yeast survival under the stress conditions of grape must (lower pH, higher glucose and ethanol concentration than wort). Our results show a successful application of high stress levels to evolve regional winemaking strains to improve their fermentative traits for the brewing process. Applying this method will make it possible to obtain yeasts that can carry out alcoholic fermentation in wort without having to buy unique strains called “brewing yeasts.”

In 2024, the Chilean brewing dregs market decreased by -8.5% to $84M, falling for the second year in a row after two years of growth. In general, consumption, however, continues to indicate a relatively flat trend pattern. Over the period under review, the market reached the peak level at $95M in 2022; however, from 2023 to 2024, consumption failed to regain momentum.

El tamaño del mercado de la cerveza en Chile fue de aproximadamente USD 2.86 Billion en 2024. Se estima que el mercado crecerá a una CAGR de 6.80% entre 2025 y 2034, alcanzando un valor de USD 5.52 Billion para 2034.

Over the five years through 2025, revenue is expected to rise by 2.1%, including a 1.5% increase over the current year to reach €16.3 billion. France, long celebrated for its world-class wines, is facing significant hurdles in the wine and cider industry. Unpredictable weather patterns, like frosts, droughts and extreme heat, are impacting grape quality and yields. The 2024 harvest is set to be one of the smallest in years, with some regions, like Burgundy, suffering up to a 30% drop in production. This shortage could push prices higher, especially for premium wines, but it also threatens France's global wine dominance, with Spain poised to overtake it in production. Domestically, French wine producers are battling changing consumer preferences. Shoppers are increasingly drawn to cheaper imports from countries like the US and Chile, while craft beer and premium spirits are emerging as strong alternatives to wine. Winemakers are shifting towards organic, biodynamic and low-alcohol wines to appeal to the sustainability-driven market and stay relevant. This is complicated by a broader trend of declining alcohol consumption, particularly among younger consumers. In 2025, profit is expected to absorb 14.9% of revenue. Many producers are diversifying into wine tourism, offering vineyard stays and tours to boost revenue and stay profitable. However, with rising operational costs, profitability remains a challenge and many are lobbying the government for tax breaks to ease financial pressures. Over the five years through 2030, industry revenue is anticipated to inch up 1.1% to €17.2 billion, with profit rising to 16.6% of revenue. French wine producers are grappling with a global surplus and shifting consumer preferences, leading to price drops and financial strain. In response, the French government has uprooted 27,500 hectares of vines, offering compensation to maintain a balance between supply and demand. Climate change is further challenging the industry, prompting producers to invest in climate-resilient grape varieties and technology like AI-powered vineyard monitoring. As health consciousness rises, demand for low-and-no alcohol wines and natural options grows. Wine tourism is flourishing, with hybrid models combining in-person and virtual tastings. Premiumisation strategies are also boosting sales and e-commerce platforms are expanding the global reach of French wines, providing consumers with detailed product information and improving visibility for producers.
