A novel approach for the determination of seven fungicides (metalaxyl-M, penconazole, folpet, diniconazole, propiconazole, difenoconazole and azoxystrobin) in wine samples is presented. Analytes were extracted from the matrix and transferred to a small volume of a high density, water insoluble solvent using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME). Variables affecting the performance of both steps were thoroughly investigated (metalaxyl-M was not included in some optimisation studies) and their effects on the selectivity and efficiency of the whole sample preparation process are discussed. Under optimised conditions, 20 mL of wine were first concentrated using a reversed-phase sorbent and then target compounds were eluted with 1 mL of acetone. This extract was mixed with 0.1 mL of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CH(3)CCl(3)) and the blend added to 10 mL of ultrapure water. After centrifugation, an aliquot (1-2 microL) of the settled organic phase was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture (ECD) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The method provided enrichment factors (EFs) around 200 times and an improved selectivity in comparison to use of SPE as single sample preparation technique. Moreover, the yield of the global process was similar for red and white wine samples and the achieved limits of quantification (LOQs) (from 30 to 120 ngL(-1) and from 40 to 250 ngL(-1), for GC-ECD and GC-MS, respectively) were low enough for the determination of target species in commercial wines. Among compounds considered in this work, metalaxyl-M and azoxystrobin were found in several wines at concentrations from 0.8 to 32 ngmL(-1).
