Quality management. Wineries of the Designation of Origin and Wine Route Ribera del Guadiana (Spain)

Abstract:

The aim of this work is to know the level of implementation of the critical factors of quality in the wineries belonging to the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) and also in adhering to Ribera del Guadiana Wine Route in Extremadura (Spain). The target population are 28 wineries that were grouped into three groups in order to analyze whether there are differences between them (11 belong to the P.D.O. and Route, 6 belong only to the P.D.O. and 11 Route only). A descriptive analysis of the data was performed and an exploratory factor analysis to validate the measurement scales. The results allow identifying strengths and areas for improvement with regard to quality management in order to provide managers of wineries information on the key areas on which to act.
