“…If we compare these data with those of other wines from different regions of Spain, such as Galicia (Herrero- Latorre and Medina 1990;Latorre, Herrero, & Medina, 1992;Latorre et al, 1994); La Rioja (Gonza´lez-Larraina et al, 1987); Catalonia (Allepus, Ferre´, Guasch, & Callao, 1987;Larrechi et al, 1987;Mun˜oz, Junca, Guasch, Larrechi, & Rius, 1987); Valencia (Climent, Esteve, & Pardo, 1986Gonza´lvez et al, 2009;Lizama et al, 1997); Valladolid (Gallego, Bernal, & del Nozal, 1981a,b); Granada (Olalla, Lo´pez, Lo´pez, & Villalo´n, 1993); Toledo (Gonza´lez, Martı´nez Para, & Aguilar, 1988a,b); Jerez, Huelva and Montilla-Moriles (Paneque, Alvarez, & Go´mez, 2009) and Navarra (Esparza, Santamarı´a, Calvo, & Ferna´ndez, 2009) it can be seen that, with the exception of sodium, the mean content for the majority of these metals in the wines of both islands are consistent with at least one of the other Spanish regions. Thus, in the case of sodium the wines of both islands, and particularly those from Fuerteventura, yielded higher values than those of other Spanish regions, only wines from DO Jerez having a higher mean content than those of wines from La Gomera island.…”
