•NMR-based techniques can be used for establishing metabolic “fingerprint” .•Biomarkers for discrimination of wine varietals were identified.•COSY and DOSY techniques may aid in assigning phenolic compounds and disaccharides.•NMR-based metabolomic studies of alcoholic beverages remain limited in Asia. Alcoholic beverages have a complex chemistry that can be influenced by their alcoholic content, origin, fermentation process, additives, and contaminants. The complex composition of these beverages leave them susceptible to fraud, potentially compromising their authenticity, quality, and market value, thus increasing risks to consumers’ health. In recent years, intensive studies have been carried out on alcoholic beverages using different analytical techniques to evaluate the authenticity, variety, age, and fermentation processes that were used. Among these techniques, NMR-based metabolomics holds promise in profiling the chemistry of alcoholic beverages, especially in Asia where metabolomics studies on alcoholic beverages remain limited.
