The scale at which microbial communities differ is not well understood. The importance of this scale in clarifying the concept of terroir is unknown. The link between grape variety, vineyard location, and microbial communities is not fully explored.

Although its disinfectant efficacy has been demonstrated in barrels and grape berries, and its effects on vine physiology have been studied, its impact on soil microbiota remains poorly understood despite its relevance to the agroecosystem.
