Innovation espalier (training of the vine, usually along a trellis, and often referred to as canopy management) and pruning and thinning methods (which aim to maximize the leaf area / fruit (LA / F report) in a vineyard microclimate) have largely replaced more generally, traditional concepts such as yield per unit area for maximum performance of the desired quality. Many of these new techniques have been adopted from the place of the traditional practice in the most progressive in the vineyard, known as the Old World.

Other recent practices include spraying water on vines to protect them from freezing temperatures (aspersion), new grafting techniques, slotting the ground, and mechanical harvesting. These techniques have made possible the development of the wine industry in New World countries such as Canada. Today there is growing interest in the development of organic vineyards, environmentally sensitive and sustainable. Biodynamics has become increasingly popular in viticulture. The use of drip irrigation in recent years has expanded vineyards into areas that were previously unplanted. As a result of irrigation, crop yields are more consistent and virtually useless.
