Survey Questionnaire, Spanish Wineries and NoLo Wine Production

Dataset Description This questionnaire was administered to winemakers (enologists) at 286 Spanish wineries. The study aims to analyze the propensity of Spanish wineries to produce dealcoholized, low-alcohol, or alcohol-removed wines in response to evolving regulatory frameworks and shifting consumer preferences. The survey comprises 9 items covering sociodemographic characteristics of the enologist, winery-level attributes, and market perceptions. Item Q9 constitutes the dependent variable of the study. Background and Motivation The market for dealcoholized and low-alcohol wines has expanded significantly in recent years. Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 established a formal legal basis within the EU for wines with partially or fully removed alcohol content, enabling consistent labelling and quality standards across member states. Against this backdrop, this survey investigates the degree to which individual and organizational characteristics predict winery adoption of dealcoholized wine production — a novel production profile requiring specific technological investment and regulatory knowledge.
