Abstract

The age of the individual has been shown to be one of the traits that lead to the most differentiated wine drinking behaviour. In fact, younger people tend to consume less and show a differentiated behaviour between generations. Based on two comprehensive surveys carried out in Tenerife over a period of 13 years, an exploratory comparative analysis of the socio-demographic traits, habits and preferences of consumers belonging to generations X and Y is carried out. The results show similarities between generations and certain differences with respect to some traits that are of interest for designing marketing strategies.
