Industries associated with the winemaking complex. Characterization and economic power

Abstract

In the interior of the country, we can list a series of production complexes that dynamize regional economies. Understanding its functioning requires considering the social agents linked to the main axis of the complexes, as well as those that are collaterally linked. in argentine viticulture, in Mendoza in particular, we can find services and industries associated with the grape-wine axis that forms the backbone of the production complex. Focusing in this article on those associated activities that have an industrial profile, seeking to identify the agents that intervene there, their characteristics such as the degree of economic power they hold. In the temporal delimitation, we focus on post-convertibility, resuming the transformations resulting from the wine reconversion process that, from the mid-nineties, were modifying the agents and the operation of this production complex up to the present day.
