Wine Databank EC Reg. Nº 555/2008
Aim of the study
1. To evaluate relationships between wine (D/H)1,
(D/H)2, δ13C and δ18O and climatic and
geographic parameters of provenance areas.
2. To build a model able to explain relationships
between wine isotope ratios and climatic and
geographic parameters of provenance areas.

Conclusions
1. δ18O and (D/H)1 have the strongest relationship with
climate and location.
2. The dominant variables are latitude, δ18O and δ2H
of MW and temperature.
3. Models may be used in wine authenticity
assessments.
