It does not necessarily indicate anything at all about the quality of that good. Typical examples of inferior goods might be rice, potatoes, or less expensive cuts of meat. <span>One study found that income elasticity of demand for beer is slightly negative, whereas income elasticity of demand for wine is significantly positive.

And a good could be normal for one income group and inferior for another i
