Abstract
The manganese content of 35 different red, white and rose wines, produ ced in several European countries, is determined by electrothermal ato mic absorption spectrometry. A mean concentration of 2.7 +/- 1.7 mg l( -1) (range: 0.5-7.3 mg l(-1)) is obtained. No statistically significan t difference is observed between red and white wines. On the other sid e, the red Beaujolais wines reveal significantly (p < 0.01) higher man ganese content. Since literature data on manganese content of wine cou ld hardly be traced, factors, probably affecting the manganese content of this alcoholic beverage, are discussed
