Rapid population growth, climate change, and resource depletion pose significant challenges to global food production, demanding sustainable solutions. A Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a structured framework for evaluating the environmental impact of systems throughout their entire life cycle. This review examines how an LCA can be integrated with circular economy principles address sustainability challenges, optimize use, minimize waste in alcoholic beverage production. systematic applications agri-food sector was conducted, analyzing studies published across different regions. The selection criteria included relevance strategies, valorization approaches, assessing impacts using methodologies. analysis explores explicitly synergy between wine production within broader system, considering shared opportunities optimization. Key methodologies include cradle-to-grave assessments evaluation waste-to-resource technologies. findings demonstrate that effectively identifies critical hotspots, enabling implementation eco-design recovery practices. Circular such as use renewable energy, precision agriculture, nutrient recovery, significantly enhance sustainability. However, gaps remain accounting social regional variability, well integrating advanced When combined principles, actionable insights policy development Advancing fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential creating resilient environmentally responsible systems.
