In this research, 47 wine samples produced from 2001 to 2002 harvest period in four Turkish regions were analyzed for the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA). Based on the results, the OTA levels of red wines are generally higher than those of white and rose wines. However, the wines from two wine regions (Aegean and Thrace) are much more contaminated with OTA compared with the others. 5 Corresponding
