Quality and Authenticity in Wine: Analytical Advances and Consumer Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of wine quality, authenticity, and consumer perception through cutting-edge analytical techniques and interdisciplinary approaches. It welcomes contributions that investigate the chemical and nutritional composition of wine, advanced methods for quality control, and innovative approaches to authenticity verification and fraud detection. Topics may include polyphenol profiling, flavor compound analysis, sensory evaluation, and consumer acceptance studies. This Special Issue also encourages submissions addressing sustainability, traceability, and transparency in wine production, as well as the regulatory and market implications of wine labeling and origin claims. By integrating analytical science with consumer-focused research, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive view of how wine quality and authenticity are assessed, communicated, and valued in today’s global market.
