The data set was obtained from the R\ package sn (for convenience). It represent chemical measurements on each of 178 wine specimens belonging to three types of wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The data set includes all variables listed by Forina et al. (1986) with the exception of ‘Sulphate’. The first variable is categorial, all others are numeric.
