SNIF-NMR and isotope ratio mass spectrometry methodologies determined in authentic and commercial wines the distribution of the naturally occurring stable isotopes of the deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratios and carbon (</span><span>13</span><span>/</span><span>12</span><span>C) in ethanol of wine and oxygen ratio (</span><span>18</span><span>/</span><span>16</span><span>O) in wine water. <span>PCA (principle component analysis) highlighted the importance of grape variety and provenance, while supervised analysis pinpointed the vineyard effect and highlighted the contribution of the vintage year. These <span>results can be incorporated to the EU Wine Isotopic Databank database providing both a guide and a tool for eventual candidatures for denomination of origin and support both Cypriot wine and winemakers. </span></span></span></span></p>
