Abstract
Twenty‐seven dry table wines from 14 wineries throughout Victoria were analysed for lead and arsenic. Wines originating from vineyards using lead arsenate insecticide for caterpillar control had mean levels of 0.31 mg litre−‐1 lead and 0.08 mg litre−‐1 arsenic. The mean levels in similar wines from wineries not using lead arsenate sprays were 0.03 mg litre−‐1 and less than 0.01 mg litre−‐1 respectively.Keywords
