This special Issue concerns wine traceability, a central theme in the current world market where consumers are increasingly demanding the quality and origin of food and drink. The wine production chain and wine composition are generally controlled by different law (International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), European union (EU) and national governments) and need specific documentation. Nevertheless, wine production is subject to fraud. As a consequence, the improvement of the methods applied to verify the origin and the quality of wines is really important to protect wine consumers and producers. In this book eight different papers—six research papers and two reviews—address the topic from different points of view.
