Abstract
The most modern analytical methods were used to determine trace element concentrations in mostly German wines of various vineyards, grapes, and vintages.
The concentrations of the toxic metals lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury have been decreasing steadily since 1960, whereas the concentrations of chromium and nickel have been increasing. The reasons for this are discussed, and sources of contamination are identified.
