ABSTRACT Icewine is a sizable niche in the Canadian wine industry that has attracted little attention from marketing and branding researchers. A first step in understanding the marketing mix and brand positioning strategies was to develop a modified Aesthetics and Ontology (AO) framework to classify consumers of luxury wines and spirits specifically focused on icewine. This paper examines where Canadian icewine producers place their brand and consumers within this AO typology. The authors applied a thematic analysis approach to categorize five semi-structured interviews with representatives of Canadian icewine producers. The modified AO framework was applied to the findings to assess the positioning of the respective icewine brands. The analysis uncovered decidedly homogenous approaches to the positioning and marketing of Canadian icewine. Most purchasers were regarded as novices, with the largest portion of purchases occurring at duty free retail locations; on-site winery experiences comprise a secondary channel. Applying the modified AO framework, the predominant customer group was identified as the ‘carouser’. Product variances, pricing strategies, and product packaging were comparatively minor. This homogenous approach to branding and marketing mix should be further explored to understand the potential for alternative and distinct positioning methodologies for Canadian icewine producers.

ABSTRACT The language of tasting notes is not always precise, since it is used to express sensations that can be very subjective. Wine tasters use descriptors to express what they see, smell and taste in a wine, but these common terms are often used even by wine experts with what has been termed as a blithe lack of precision. Hence, wine blogs and wine magazines often include wine glossaries that cover, among other wine vocabulary, wine tasting descriptors. These dictionaries and glossaries often result in problems of term selection and term definition. The purpose of this paper is to compare the specialised glossary or dictionary definitions of a limited number of descriptors with their actual use in wine tasting notes and come up with definitions which are a closer match to the descriptors as they are really used.

ABSTRACT Viticulture is a perennial agricultural system that is rooted in tradition but must also adapt to change (e.g. climate change, authorized rate of pesticide uses in the European Union). Viticulture includes a variety of practices whose objective is to produce wine grapes. To help viticulture systems adapt to changes, both field viticulture practices and value chain activities within winegrower networks must be considered. Here, we used socioeconomic and technical surveys to investigate these potential influences on winegrowers’ decision-making in regard to adapting to changes, so as to develop a typology of winegrowers in the Loire Valley, France. The surveys were conducted in 2010 with 37 winegrowers managing 56 fields. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use this method to quantify viticulture networks. Our results showed that winegrowers within the same networks share similar behavioural patterns, with non-harvest viticulture practices (e.g. vine density planting, number of buds) characterizing winegrower profiles. Further, our typology reveals viable options for changing practices in a manner that aligns with the sociocultural characteristics of each profile. Agricultural extension services can especially make use of this typology as a starting point to help winegrowers adapt to changes in a more personalized and successful way.

ABSTRACT The wine industry is an example of how globalisation is reshaping the market structure, on both sides. The supply side has registered an increase in competition, as a result of new entrants. On the demand side, there has been a decrease in consumption in traditional producing countries, as a result of consuming behaviour and a proliferation of other alcoholic beverages. In order to survive, wineries need to adapt their strategies and internal resources to these market challenges. The main goal of this paper is to provide new knowledge on the topic, striving for the main determinants of Portuguese wineries’ economic performance, using a micro-econometric approach. Both fixed-effect two-stage least square and generalised method of moments models are applied to a panel of 412 Portuguese wineries, controlling for firm-specific effects, heteroskedasticity and persistence effects. The results show that firm size, labour productivity, financial autonomy and short-term debt ratio are positively related to economic performance. Firm age is shown to have a non-linear relationship with economic performance. The persistence effect of earnings before interests, tax, depreciations and amortisations is shown to be negative.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the multi-sensory responses experienced by consumers in consuming and evaluating wine, and further identifies the differences in wine consumption experiences by novice wine consumers versus those of wine experts. How those experiences are shaped by consumer levels of knowledge regarding wine, and are defined by emotion, memory, and responses to the aesthetic experience of wine consumption, are identified via a multi-year ethnographic study. Through interviews, observations, and wine tastings with novices and experts, the authors examine the role of embodiment in wine consumption, whose impact is lacking in extant literature. Embodiment processes in wine consumption can be understood at the conscious level using Merleau-Ponty’s [(1962). The phenomenology of perception (C. Smith, Trans.). Kegan Paul] concept of perception and virtual enactments. At the unconscious level, as the authors report, consumers and wineries alike use conceptual metaphors and conceptual blending to understand the wine consumption process. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of embodiment processes through the application of Merleau-Ponty’s theory of perceptions/virtual enactments, as well as through metaphor and conceptual integration analysis.

ABSTRACT Blind wine tasting and differential diagnoses of human illness rely on both sensory examination and an existing knowledge base in order to deduce a specific wine varietal and human disease, respectively. Although knowledge is not directly transferable across these disciplines, they utilize similar deductive and perceptual processes. In order to identify an unknown wine, one must recognize the visual, aromatic, and textural components of the wine, as well as draw upon one’s knowledge of which varietals, vintages, and locations correspond to one’s perception. Similarly, patients may present with non-specific symptoms (e.g. cough, fever, headache, etc.), and physicians often do not know the diagnosis before entering the exam room. It is a doctor’s job to draw upon a knowledge of disease presentation and to interact with the patient to deduce the cause of their symptoms. In a clinical exam, physicians rely on their senses of touch, hearing, and sight to narrow down the possible list of diseases. For pre-medical and medical students, blind wine tastings are a chance to practice deduction and develop an approach to clinical reasoning.

ABSTRACT Low-temperature red winemaking is mainly used for enhancing the wine aroma; however, colour and phenolic extraction is reduced under this condition. This work evaluated the effects of the pectinolytic strain Aureobasidium pullulans GM-R-22, belonging to the most abundant species in grape surface and the greatest pectinase producer, applied to pre-fermentative cold maceration and low-temperature fermentation, on anthocyanin extraction, chromatic and technological properties, also on sensory attributes of Malbec wines. A. pullulans demonstrated to survive in grape juice and first days of fermentation, and high levels of pectinase activity were detected in GM-R-22 vinifications. GM-R-22 wines exhibited higher total anthocyanins, total polyphenolic index and colour intensity (CI), as well as filtration times 30% lower. GM-R-22 wines showed an increase in monomeric anthocyanins during fermentation and higher polymeric pigments at 9 months of bottle storage, suggesting a greater stability in wine colour. From a sensory standpoint, GM-R-22 wines obtained higher scores for CI and violet hue than their respective controls, improving aroma and equilibrium. This study proved that it is feasible to use this unconventional microorganism in oenology to produce pectinases during the low-temperature winemaking process to attain wines with similar or better chromatic properties to those of traditional wines.

ABSTRACT The Journal of Wine Research (JWR) has a near 30–year history of publishing varied articles examining aspects of viticulture, oenology and the international wine trade. The primary objective of this research is to examine the characteristics of literature published in the JWR through bibliographic analysis. The research utilises the Scopus database to identify the most productive authors, countries and papers published in the JWR since it was established in 1990. The total number of publications and citations are used to assess productivity, in terms of the number of publications, influence, and the number of citations of both authors and countries. Network maps were created using the VOSViewer software examining patterns of co–authorship, co–citation and keyword co–occurrence. The results indicate that the most prolific authors, in terms of the number of publications, are not necessarily producing the most profound research that gains traction through citations in the field. This study is helpful for prospective JWR authors, readers and editors who wish to understand the intellectual landscape of the journal in terms of the productivity and impact of different stakeholder groups and the noted trends of publications. The paper concludes by acknowledging limitations of the study and discussing implications for future authors.

ABSTRACT The article investigates how wineries have used different markers as an effort to differentiate themselves from other producers and support their self-identity. The most dominant markers perceived by the respondents are tied to different forms of regional/geographical markers, such as terroir including the AOC, and organic production. They stress the vine and agricultural aspects of winemaking. In addition, some markers also include special wine, such as old vine as a special aspect of identity as quality producers. The empirical basis is 23 face-to-face in-depth qualitative semi-structured interviews with owners and winemakers in wineries in New South Wales, Australia, Provence, France and by the river Duero, Spain; and two wine experts in Australia and in Spain. The analytical perspective includes the notion of boundary objects, and the role of technological actors in an Actor-Network theoretical approach. We also make use of the framework of small business identity as production oriented. The main conclusion of the paper is that wine producers in the market of quality wine tie their efforts to differentiate their quality wine to their identity work.

The most dominant markers perceived by the respondents are tied to different forms of regional/geographical markers, such as terroir including the AOC, and organic production. They stress the vine and agricultural aspects of winemaking. In addition, some markers also include special wine, such as old vine as a special aspect of identity as quality producers. The empirical basis is 23 face-to-face in-depth qualitative semi-structured interviews with owners and winemakers in wineries in New South Wales, Australia, Provence, France and by the river Duero, Spain; and two wine experts in Australia and in Spain. The analytical perspective includes the notion of boundary objects, and the role of technological actors in an Actor-Network theoretical approach. We also make use of the framework of small business identity as production oriented. The main conclusion of the paper is that wine producers in the market of quality wine tie their efforts to differentiate their quality wine to their identity work.","PeriodicalId":52456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wine Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"194 - 217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09571264.2020.1816533","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43144916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
