Abstract:

Due to numerous health benefits and high economic value of wines, China’s import volume of wine products has
sharply gone up recently. However, a considerable proportion of imported wine products are adulterated. Consequently it is
highly urgent to develop analytic methods for accurately tracing the possible geographical origins of wines. In this article, we
first highlight recent applications of multi-element analysis and stable isotope technology to determine the geographic origin
of wines. Meanwhile, we also summarize recent advances in geographical origin traceability of wines and point out several
key areas for future research. We hope that this paper can help promote the establishment and perfection of wine safety
traceability system in our country, ensure the steady and healthy development of the wine market in China, and protect the
lawful rights and interests of consumers.

Key words: wine, geographical origin, stable isotopes, multi-element analysis, multivariate statistics
