It is showed that, although there could be a convergence in wine consumption in Europe, the consumer profiles of the main European wine consumer countries still differ. The article concludes that net importers wine consuming countries in Europe, in this case Germany and the United Kingdom, have wine consumers that are demographically different to the traditional European wine consumer’s profile from the producing wine countries, in this case France, Italy, and Spain.
Resumo
Este artigo define o perfil demográfico e socioeconómico dos consumidores de vinho na Europa nos últimos vinte e cinco anos. Mostra-se que, embora possa existir uma convergência no consumo de vinho na Europa, os perfis do consumidor de vinho dos principais países consumidores de vinho europeus ainda diferem. O artigo conclui que os importadores líquidos dos países consumidores de vinho na Europa, neste caso, Alemanha e Reino Unido, têm consumidores de vinhos que são demograficamente diferentes do perfil tradicional do consumidor vitivinícola europeu dos países produtores de vinho, neste caso França, Itália e Espanha.
