Segmenting the Fine Wine Consumers
Fine wine consumers are a very specific segment of the wine market. Their profiles, needs and expectations can vary substantially from other wine consumers. From collectors to investors, they all respond to different motivations and buying patterns, that ARENI has been studying for the last four years, gathering both quantitative and qualitative data. This session will explore key insights from ARENI’s latest research on fine wine consumers, and what it means in terms of successful marketing and communication campaign.
