Decanter New ‘fingerprint’ method may help detect wine fraud, says study
A novel technique capable of quickly pinpointing a wine s origin has great potential, scientists in Australia have said.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that a novel technique using ‘‘fluorescence spectroscopy’ could provide a relatively simple and rapid way to help detect wine fraud.
Trials showed the method had ‘great potential’ to authenticate the geographical origin of wines, according to a study on the research published in the issue of
Food Chemistryjournal dated 15 January 2021.
During testing, researchers at the University of Adelaide said they were able to correctly identify Cabernet Sauvignon wines from three different regions of Australia, and one from Bordeaux.

Due to the rising population, many people worry about food shortages. However, experts believe wheat and barley can help feed the world.
An international team of scientists found a new genetic variation in wheat and barley, yielding larger harvests. Scientists from the University of Adelaide’s Waite Research Institute led the study, collaborating with researchers worldwide. Researchers from the 10+ Wheat Genomes Project and the International Barley Pan Genome Sequencing Consortium unlocked the new variation.
Led by Professor Curtis Pozniak from Canada and Professor Nils Stein from Germany, the team sequenced a suite of genomes of both crops. Also, Professor Chengdao Li of Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, helped greatly with the Australian barley sequencing. They published these findings on November 25, 2020, in the journal Nature.
