Abstract: Contradicting Olson's theory of collective action, a winegrowers' pressure group emerged in Spain in the early 1920s, despite the geographic dispersion of wine production and the large number of families cultivating vineyards. In a period of falling prices caused by the practice of producing artificial wines with cheap industrial alcohols and the restrictions progressively imposed by France on Spanish exports, this organization actively lobbied for protection trough the regulation of the alcohol market. However, in contrast to the French winegrowers, prior to the Civil War Spanish winegrowers failed to obtain public support, because governments in Spain tried to redistribute profits for both wine exporters and the national sugar industry.
