Sažetak
In my paper I am elaborating on changes in the family economy, which appear in the sphere of family production of alcoholic beverages during the past decades in Croatia (especially since gaining its independence), in terms of gender division of tasks related to alcohol production. According to the material collected in my study for the doctoral thesis – “Ethnological and Anthropological Research of Family Production and Consumption of Alcohol”, it is evident that women increasingly win recognition in the production of alcoholic drinks, which is a novelty in comparison to the data in ethnographic material about late 19th and early 20th centuries. Changes due to gender determination in the allocation of tasks related to the production of alcohol are due to, among other things, development of new forms of tourism in Croatia (agrotourism, cultural and culinary tourism). The research was conducted in the surrounding area of Zagreb, using the technique of unstructured, in-depth interview with six women whose families are in winegrowing and winemaking business, as well as spirit and honey beverage production. Changes in gender division of tasks in the production of alcohol reflect not only on the family economy, but also on family relationships and lives of members of these families, which I will additionally take a more detailed look at during my presentation.
