The contribution of the wine sector to the economy can be seen from different points, the weight it has in its Gross Inside Product (GDP), job creation, its export capacity or the size of its productive fabric. Variables that show the relevance of the wine sector in the economy. This work studies the relationship between the variables representative of the contribution of the wine sector to the GDP in the case of Galicia, and where the average size of the farms dedicated to the cultivation of grapes is identified as a determining factor of this contribution. For this, a multiple regression analysis and a comparative relationship analysis of the surface variable with the figures of the main macroeconomic variables of the sector between Galicia and Spain were carried out. The results reveal the dependence on the size of the farms, as well as a cultural heritage that makes the sector seen as a secondary activity, all of which prevents the existence of a consolidated productive fabric in terms of employment and competitiveness. Structural action is necessary in the Galician wine sector that will turn it into a socioeconomic activity recognized by all economic agents, starting with increasing the average size of their farms
