Abstract

TThis article presents a bibliometric review of life cycle analysis in the wine industry, focusing only on the ten most critical grape-based beverages. A consultation was carried out in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Dimensions, Sciencedirect, from which only 121 scientific articles from all databases were analyzed, discarding other types of documents. The analysis was performed using the VOSviewer software. The results indicate that four countries generate approximately 50% of the wine produced globally: Italy, France, Spain, and the United States of America. In addition, the authors with the highest number of documents and citations from 2000 to 2020 were identified, highlighting Feijoo G. with the highest number of documents and Vázquez Rowe I. with the highest number of citations. The journals that most publish topics on LCA to viticultural processes are the Journal of Cleaner Production and the International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment; the most important topics regarding LCA are environmental science, energy, and engineering; the most cited countries are Italy, Spain, and Luxembourg; and the most productive countries are Italy, Spain and USA.
