Measuring quality conventions in the food industry: Applications to the wine sector in Spain

Quality is studied in the framework of convention theory.
•
Quality conventions can be analysed with quantitative methods, not only qualitative ones.
•
A selection of 19 statistical indicators are proposed to measure quality within the wine sector.
•
The 19 indicators are calculated for a selection of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
•
Conventions of quality are measured, and rankings were established within the PDOs.
