Abstract

Did the Fukushima incident in 2011 leave its signature via the Cs-137 radioactivity in wines, mainly from the Nappa Valley? This is a short note about a few measurements done at the PRISNA facility in Bordeaux, France, where the method of dating wine without opening the bottle was initially developed.
