Abstract
Sources of metals in alcoholic beverages can be classified intoprimary and secondary sources. High concentrations of metals maylead to potential toxicity in cases of overconsumption over a longperiod of time. Metal content in alcoholic beverages may be usedto ascertain their authenticity and geographic origin. Therefore, determinationof metals in alcoholic beverages becomes a matter ofutmost importance to forensic agencies.Many analytical techniques are available for qualitative andquantitative estimation of metals. Stripping methods can be used,and anodic stripping voltammetry proves to be a cheap, sensitive,reliable and less time-consuming method. With advancements inthe field of electrodes, the sensitivity of voltammetry has greatlyincreased, making it an ideal analytical technique for the analysisof metals in wines and other alcoholic beverages.In the present review, an attempt has been made to criticallyreview the various aspects of voltammetry with particular attentionto stripping methods along with their application in determinationof metal content in various alcoholic beverages.
