  abstract = {{S}mall portable rainfall simulators are considered a useful tool to analyze soil erosion processes in cultivated lands. {E}uropean research groups in {S}pain ({V}alencia, {M}álaga, {L}leida, {M}adrid and {L}a {R}ioja), {F}rance ({R}eims) and {G}ermany ({T}rier) have used different rainfall simulators (varying in drop size distribution and fall velocities, kinetic energy, plot forms and sizes, and field of application) to study soil loss, surface flow, runoff and infiltration coefficients in different experimental plots ({V}alencia, {M}ontes de {M}álaga, {P}ened{\`e}s, {C}ampo {R}eal and {L}a {R}ioja in {S}pain, {C}hampagne in {F}rance and {M}osel-{R}uwer valley in {G}ermany). {T}he measurements and experiments developed by these research teams give an overview of the variety of methodologies used in rainfall simulations to study the problem of soil erosion and describe the erosion features in different climatic environments, management practices and soil types. {T}he aims of this study are: (i) to investigate where, how and why researchers from different wine-growing regions applied rainfall simulations with successful results as a tool to measure soil erosion processes; (ii) to make a qualitative comparison about the general soil erosion processes in {E}uropean terroirs; (iii) to demonstrate the importance of the development of standard method for measurement of soil erosion processes in vineyards, using rainfall simulators; and (iv) and to analyze the key factors that should be taken into account to carry out rainfall simulations. {T}he rainfall simulations in all cases allowed infiltration capacity, susceptibility of the soil to detachment and generation of sediment loads to runoff to be determined. {D}espite using small plots, the experiments were useful to analyze the influence of soil cover to reduce soil erosion, to make comparisons between different locations, and to evaluate the influence of different soil characteristics. {T}he comparative analysis of the studies performed in different study areas points out the need to define an operational methodology to carry out rainfall simulations, which allows us to obtain representative and comparable results and to avoid errors in the interpretation in order to achieve comparable information about runoff and soil loss.},
