    The aim of this study is to examine how teacher students' view their cultural capital. Cultural capital means the knowledge, skills, valuations and examinations that a person has achieved during his/her life.The purpose of this study is also to depict whether or not cultural capital is of importance to a teacher at his work or to a student at his education. Previous studies have shown that teacher students present bourgeoise culture. Previous studies have also shown that teacher's cultural capital might have an impact to his/her work and that students' family background has an impact on school work. The study was made by the principles of qualitative research. Five teacher students from Helsinki University were selected as research subjects. The data was gathered during the spring 2015 and collected by using a theme interview. The data was then analyzed with theory-bound content analysis. Based on the data, teacher students' views depicted that their family backgrounds, as well as hobby and personal interests reflected at least partly the cultural capital. Based on the study results, it would seem that teacher's own cultural capital might show in his/her work at some level, for example through the valuations and aspirations, as well as the number of his/her hobbies. Teacher's hobbies can show as emphasis on, motivation in and aspirations in the work. Valuations and aspirations can have an impact on the demands targeted towards students by the teacher. The results indicate that student's cultural capital can show at school through stimulus received from home and attitude towards school.

    Aims/Objectives. The use of wine has become more common in recent decades in Finland and besides restauraunts the use has also increased at homes. The wine is also consumed more with meals, reflecting a change in the Finnish eating and drinking culture. This study analyzes how widespread is the use of wine at meals, who drinks wine with meals and what are the socio-demographic factors associated with drinking wine with meals. In addition, the study examines how drinking wine with meals is associated with self-reported well-being. Data and methods. Drinking Habits Survey (2008) collected by STAKES (today National Institute for Health and Welfare) was used as a data. This nationally representative survey has 2725 respondents aged 15 to 69. Response rate was 73.6. Analysis included those aged at least 18 years (n = 2591). Main variable of interest is drinking wine with meals at least once a week. Other variables were psychological distress, self-efficacy, self-reported health, uncontrolled drinking and negative events associated with drinking. Different socio-demographic variables were as well investigated. The data were analyzed with descriptive methods and regression analysis. Results and conclusions. Although wine drinking has become more commonplace in Finland, drinking wine with meals is still rare. Of respondents, 11 % used wine with meals at least one a week and one-third of the respondents never used the wine with meals. Drinking wine with meals was linked to high education and living in urban environment. It was especially common among those aged 30 to 65. Drinking wine with meals was associated with well-being and self-reported health. The results support earlier finding showing that drinking wine with meals is connected to a healthier and lighter food taste.
