Review of artificial intelligence adoption for winery sustainability

The use of digital technologies as innovative substitutes for traditional methods has recently attracted significant attention globally. This article reviews recent studies on the winery industry’s adoption of artificial intelligence. The review focuses on two key research objectives. First, the publication trends in the adoption of AI in the wine industry. Second, the thematic pattern of the present state of AI research in the winery industry. The review utilised bibliometric and thematic approaches to assess a consolidated dataset from the Scopus and Web of Science. The bibliometric analysis presents insights regarding the top authors, sources, articles, contexts and publication trends in the research stream. Subsequently, thematic analysis was utilized to examine the current state of the research stream across four key clusters and to pinpoint implications for sustainability and future research. Hence, the findings highlight how research on AI adoption in the winery industry supports winery practices that align with Sustainable Development Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production.
