DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dn57z6/luxury_of_wine) has announced the addition of the "Luxury of Wine 2013: A Study of Affluent Consumers and their Wine Drinking Lifestyle" report to their offering.
As each wave of Unity Marketing's Luxury Tracking study is fielded, special topics of interest to luxury marketers are researched in more depth and published in a separate trend report. For the second quarter 2013 study, fielded in July 2013, luxury consumers were asked about their enjoyment of wine. A total of n=909 luxury consumers, out of n=1,189 total sample, reported that they regularly or occasionally drink wine, or over three-fourths of the total luxury consumers surveyed.
These wine drinkers were asked a range of questions specific to their wine consumption and purchase behavior:
- What occasions they typically drink wine, such as when dining out, relaxing at the end of the day, with informal meals, etc.
- Type of wine regularly enjoyed, including domestic or imported, and, if imported, what countries they choose for imported wines.
- Purchases of wine in restaurants, including how often they order wine when dining out; if they order wine by the glass or bottle; what factors most influence one's wine selection when dining out, such as brand, matched food, recommended by sommelier, etc.; how much one typically spends buying a bottle of wine in restaurant.
- Purchase of wine at retail, including how often shop for wine at retail; what factors most influence one's wine selection at retail, such as brand, favorite varietal, shelf label, promotion, price, etc.; how much one typically spends buying a bottle of wine at retail.
- Wine varietals favored, including red varietals and white varietals.
- Reasons why one drinks and enjoys wine, such as health aspects, taste, with food, affordability, etc.
- Wine activities participated in during the past year, such as joining a wine club, visiting a vineyard, attended a wine tasting, searched for wine information online, used mobile to access wine information, etc.
The results of this study are compared with those from a similar study conducted the fourth quarter 2011, fielded in early January 2012. In that survey a total of 795 out of a total sample of 1,201 luxury consumers (66 percent) report enjoying wine once a month or more often. Note: the wine-drinker samples from each study were selected by slightly different criteria. The 2013 wine drinkers reported they regularly or occasionally enjoyed wine, while no specific criteria were used to define regular or occasional drinking, while in 2011 wine drinkers were defined as those who enjoy wine once a month or more often.
