The population in 2011 was 1,424,<ref>Instituto Nacional de Estatística</ref> in an area of 27.05 km2.<ref>Eurostat Template:Webarchive</ref>

Due to its volcanic origin, its terrain is poor, so vines were and still are a very usual crop, so Biscoitos began to be known for its high quality wine, which is made with Verdelho grapes.

The village has a wine museum called the Museu do Vinho dos Biscoitos that was established in 1990.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
