“…Recent research has been conducted to determine the geographic origin based on the composition of the elements assuming that the chemical composition of the wine reflects the soil composition ( 31 ), in which case their determination enables the establishment of a “fingerprint” for each element and creates the possibility of establishing a link between wine and their geographical origin ( 26 ). The potential of multielement “fingerprint” techniques to identify the geographical origin of wine was established in many investigations in different countries: Portugal ( 32 , 33 ), Italy ( 34 , 35 ), Slovakia ( 36 ), Croatia ( 37 , 38 ), Spain ( 39 – 41 ), Romania ( 42 ), Cyprus ( 7 , 14 ), Slovenia ( 4 ), Serbia ( 43 ), Macedonia ( 44 ), Ukraine ( 45 ), Turkey ( 46 ), Argentina ( 47 ), South Africa ( 31 , 48 , 49 ), and California ( 50 ), USA.…”
