Trends and Knowledge Structures in Sustainable Wine Tourism: A Bibliometric Review with Biblioshiny and VOSviewer

At this time, the wine industry has gained boundless relevance worldwide. Sustainable wine tourism has arisen as a critical area of research. The wine cultivation and wine are especially vulnerable to the introduction of new technologies and practices that can improve sustainability in the medium and long term, as well as facilitate improvement in product quality. This study is a bibliometric analysis of the literature on wine tourism sustainability, highlighting key themes, emerging areas, and global trends. Data were collected from Scopus databases from 2003 to April 11, 2025. A publication study was conducted to identify key authors, institutions, and journals. The findings indicate that wine tourism is increasingly interested in conserving biodiversity and practices that are sustainable practices. To find the major developments, this research aimed to use VOS viewer software and bibliometrics analysis (Biblioshiny). To achieve this, the keywords that are associated with "Wine tourism," "Viticulture," "Enotourism," and "Sustainab*" were searched within the "Scopus" database. There were 1267 items found. Applying all the filters to the English language, only 251 things remained. The results highlight co-citation, co-occurrence, theme analysis, top countries, journals, yearly publishing patterns, and the most appropriate journals. The results indicate that the most appropriate journal is "Sustainability (Switzerland)", the most cited keyword is "Viticulture", and the leading country is Italy. Studies indicate increasing interest in Sustainable Wine Tourism, underscoring the necessity for more theoretical and empirical work in this new domain.
