Previous investigations on short-term 14C variations in tree rings are compared with 14C measurements in wine samples. The comparison is made for 4 solar cycles (1903–1944) with the same method of statistical evaluation of measured results. The average amplitude of Δ14C variations as observed by various authors in tree-ring samples is ca 2 ± 1 ‰; however, wine samples show an average amplitude of 4.3 ± 1.6 ‰. The anticorrelation dependence of Δ14C on Wolf sunspot numbers was observed with a time shift between W maxima and Δ14C minima of 3–5 yr for different solar cycles.
