该欧洲标准规定了同位素方法来控制葡萄酒的真实性。这种方法适用于葡萄酒醋，以表征18O/16O比例的水分，并且可以将葡萄酒醋与葡萄干或酒精醋制成葡萄酒。 来自醋的水的氧18同位素分析基于已经对葡萄酒分析进行标准化的类似方法[2]

This European standard specifies an isotopic method to control the authenticity of wine vinegar. This method is applicable on wine vinegar in order to characterize the 18O/16O ratio of water, and allows differentiating wine vinegar from vinegars made from raisins or alcohol vinegar. The Oxygen 18 isotopic analysis of water from vinegar is based on a similar method already normalised for wine analysis [2].
