The results show that there are marked differences between social groups regarding wine consumption and the use of this product in the kitchen. Gender also emerges as a determining factor in the way men and women approach these practices.
The study shows that eating habits and alcohol consumption in Portugal are strongly related to socioeconomic factors. These differences suggest that social class and gender significantly shape the Portuguese relationship with food and wine.
