Abstract:The feasibility of wine origin tracing based on mineral elements was explored.The content of 23 mineral elements in Cabernet Sauvignon wine samples from the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains（Xinjiang），Ningxia，Gansu，Hebei，and Shandong in China was determined.The origin traceability model was established with the content of mineral elements combined with multivariate statistical methods.The results showed that the content of P，Mg，Sr，Ti，Al，Cu，and Ba had significant differences（p<0.05 or p<0.01）between the wine samples from the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains and other four areas（Ningxia，Gansu，Hebei，and Shandong）.These elements could be used as markers for distinguishing wine products from different regions.P，Sr，and Al significant for origin discrimination were screened out from the 23 mineral elements to establish the Fisher's discriminant function.The function showed the overall correct discrimination rates of 96.43% and 89.29%，respectively，for the initial verification and cross-validation of wines from the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains and other four areas.The origin of Cabernet Sauvignon wine could be traced by mineral element analysis，and the wine from the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang could be distinguished from those from Ningxia，Gansu，Hebei，and Shandong.
