Purpose This paper systematically explores the consequences of the adoption of blockchain technology (BCT) in the wine supply chain, aiming to offer a comprehensive overview of its advantages within the dynamic and complex wine sector. Design/methodology/approach This study deploys the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method to provide a comprehensive examination of the effects of BCT adoption in the wine supply chain (WSC) by guiding the conduct and reporting of the systematic review. Findings The findings identify eight primary areas of advantage in blockchain adoption, illuminating its transformative impact on the wine industry. In addition, an examination of the technical attributes and applications of 17 existing blockchain-based platforms in the wine supply chain contributes valuable insights for strategic decision-making by wineries. Originality/value This study, through a systematic literature review, contributes to understand the potential BCT interactions at different stages of the WSC and to highlight some of the lesser known benefits for wineries.
