Overview

An exploratory analysis of the Spanish wine market using a dataset of 10,000+ wines across 60+ regions. The analysis examined relationships between price, rating, region, and grape variety to identify quality-value sweet spots.

Key Findings

  • Regional price variation: Wines from Ribera del Duero commanded a 40% premium over comparable wines from other regions
  • Price-rating correlation: Weak positive correlation (r = 0.34)—price is a poor predictor of quality
  • Value regions: Several DOs (Denominaciones de Origen) produced consistently high-rated wines at below-average prices

This experiment informed feature engineering decisions in later production projects where categorical variables with many levels (60+ regions) required careful encoding strategies.
