DOIAbstract
The aim of this study is to provide information about the green and blue water footprint for the production of the most relevant varieties of grapes, in the five wine-growing regions of the province of Mendoza, and for differentirrigation systems. The outcomes show that Bonarda and Syrah are the red varieties that require less water per quintal produced in Mendoza. For the case of white varieties, the one that consumes less water is Pedro Giménez. The greatest values of green water footprint correspond to General Alvear and San Rafael in South region and San Carlos in Uco Valley region, while the lowest values are found in Junín and San Martín in East region. The adoption of pressurized irrigation systems implies savings of 14% water consum...
