In this line, this paper provides an overview about strategic factors that determine the Portuguese wine and enotourism decision making process. The results of this research enable the essential features of a consumer profile of purchase and consumption to be obtained with respect to: (1) the structure of attributes - intrinsic and extrinsic - that Portuguese still wine consumers best recognise and value in determining its quality, (2) the motivational structures that encourage and guide them in their decision making process when purchasing and consuming wine and enotourism services, (3) the anticipated effect of interaction between different situations of consumption with different price bands.application/pdfengopenAccessTURISMOENOLOGIAENOTURISMOTURISMOS DE NICHOPORTUGALCOMPORTAMENTO DOS CONSUMIDORESVINHOSESTUDOS DE CASOMARKETINGCONSUMER BEHAVIOURPORTUGALTOURISMOENOLOGYNICHE TOURISMWINESCASE STUDIESMARKETINGOENOTOURISM
