This tells us what we already know about consumers and re-affirms my favourite wine quote from the wise, and sadly-deceased, Michael Broadbent, who told us that "a peek at the label is worth 50 years experience." There is an undoubted human need to show affinity with, or avoid being embarrassed by, someone perceived as more expert or knowledgeable, arguably much more apparent among the affluent. It also shows that when we buy wine, we "buy into" prestige, in other words, where we buy says as much about us as what we buy. A great ad by Aldi UK it has to be said ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eGzmEbyM #consumerpsychology #marketing #wine #winemarketing

ITALY, LAND OF WINE A bold statement, for a bold reality: Italy welcomes over 600 local vineyard varieties, spread across 600,000 hectares dedicated to production. While we can thank the Roman empire for spreading grape grafts across Europe back in the time, the 1960’s are known to embody the Italian Renaissance of wine. This decades saw the creation of the famous appellations DOC and DOCG, and wine become a true product of excellence. An excellence which aroma is made to be enjoyed with all senses. On this note, what can you say about the scent of a glass of wine? Will you taste the same flavors while you get a sip? And what is the process - called vinification - that differentiates the making of white and red wine? (And, most importantly, what is the best way to open a bottle of Italian wine and what dishes should you match it with?) Discover a first introduction to Italian wine and its features, an industry that weighed 16 billion euros in revenue in 2023, for your greatest delight. https://lnkd.in/dphhcS8W ITA - Italian Trade Agency Gambero Rosso #MadeinItaly #Italianquality #wine #vino
