Socioeconomic Factors and the Consumption of Wine in Tenerife

Abstract

In this paper we measure the impact of an individual's socioeconomic conditions on the decision to consume wine in a traditionally wine-producing area. Based on the data obtained in an exhaustive survey on wine consumption and through discrete choice models, we assess the changes which come about in the decisions to consume the different types of wine under consideration, and we obtain the most relevant distinctive and differentiated characteristics for each one of them.wine consumption, socioeconomic characteristics, discrete choice models, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
