Abstract: With the growing prosperity of the wine market, consumers have paid more attention to wine quality. The geographical origin and variety of wine are important factors determining wine quality. Volatile components play an important role in the characterization of a specific geographical origin or variety of wine. Therefore, the analysis of volatile compounds in wine is significant for the identification of the geographical origin and variety of wine. In this article, we summarize the analytical methods used to determine volatile compounds in wine and the current status of research on the identification of the geographical origin and variety of wine based on analysis of volatile compounds, with the aim of promoting in-depth research on the volatile compounds of wine and providing theoretical references for ensuring the quality and authenticity of wine and establishing a more complete wine volatile fingerprint.

Key words: wine; volatile compounds; analytical methods; geographical origin identification; varietal identification
