Wine Consumer Flavour Preferences

Isabelle Lesschaeve

Outline

Literature review on development of food preferencendash Application to wine

Sensory and cognitive dimensions of wine preference

Summary and Conclusion

Development of Food Preference

Three major determinants of food choice and preference (Rozin 1991)ndash Biological factorsndash Cultural factorsndash IndividualPsychological factors

Development of Food Preference Biological Factors

ndash Innate likes for sweet and dislikes for bitter and sour foods (Birch 1982)

ndash In utero nutrition impacts future childrsquos preference (Schaal 2006)

ndash Preference increases with exposureand familiarity (mere exposure theory Zajonc 1968)

Development of Food Preference Individual factors

ndash Adolescents develop liking for bitterfood and beverages (eg beer)

ndash Genetic traits Sensitivity to the

bitter compound PROP could influence bothpositive and negativesensations in alcoholic beverages

How do we learn to like wine

Introduction to wine in early adulthood Wine can

ndash Taste sour and bitterndash Smell unfamiliar (food) aromas

Oak floral petroleum

ndash Feel astringent and irritating

Wine could fit the ldquounpalatable substancerdquo category (Rozin 1986)

How do we learn to like wine

Liking for unpalatable beverage ndash Is developed by associative learning

Environmental and socio-cultural factors

ndash Results in desirable post-digestive consequences

How do we learn to like wine Socio-cultural factors

ndash New world consumers versus old worldndash Symbolic value of wine

Determinants of Wine choice

ldquoTasterdquo is one of the most important factors cited by consumers for choosing wine (Thompson and Vourvachis 1995 Charters 2003)

Tasting wine prior purchase is not common practicendash Purchasing wine is a risky endeavour because of

taste uncertainty (Mitchell and Greatorec 1988)

Sensory dimensions of likes and dislikes

Traditional market research techniquesndash Wine expertsndash Me2 sales volumendash ldquoTasterdquo test ldquoone sip testrdquoAsk consumers to describe what they like

or dislikendash Focus groups

Traditional market research techniquesndash Research has shown that consumer

language can be misleading ndash Merlot wine study (Lesschaeve (2006)

When consumers liked the wine they liked its oak character

When consumers disliked the wine they disliked the oak character

Liked oak=Vanillatoasted oak Disliked oak=Smoky oak burnt

Sensory dimensions of likes and dislikes

Sensory dimensions of likes and dislikes

New approach ndash Blends sensory and market research techniquesndash Produces preference mapndash Consumers still rate their overall likingndash Wine description is collected from a trained

sensory panel (Descriptive Analysis)ndash Multivariate statistics are used to explain or

predict consumer flavour preference

Non sensory factors affecting preference Context of choice or consumption Societal factors

ndash image prestige mystic symbolic values

Conclusions

Understanding of consumer flavour segments enable producers ndash to enhance the chance of repeat purchase ndash to target niche markets with a specific wine

style

Elucidating wine active compounds is critical to understand sensory drivers of liking and develop targeted wine styles

Conclusions

In foodstuff categories ndash when product does not meet the sensory

profile expected by consumers marketing cues cannot usually fool consumers

The wine category is different ndash Non sensory factors still have an impact

on consumer choice behaviours and may enable consumers to forgive any dissonance on the sensory profile

Conclusions

Non sensory factors impact ndash Is it stable over timendash Have consumers developed strategies to

relate external information to sensory properties

ndash Do they rely on their memories (brand taste)

ndash What is the influence of context (Eg Tasting room) and repeating tasting

More research is still needed

Determinants of Wine choice

ldquoTasterdquo is one of the most important factors cited by consumers for choosing wine (Thompson and Vourvachis 1995 Charters 2003)

Tasting wine prior purchase is not common practicendash Purchasing wine is a risky endeavour because of

taste uncertainty (Mitchell and Greatorec 1988)

Sensory dimensions of likes and dislikes

Traditional market research techniquesndash Wine expertsndash Me2 sales volumendash ldquoTasterdquo test ldquoone sip testrdquoAsk consumers to describe what they like

or dislikendash Focus groups

Traditional market research techniquesndash Research has shown that consumer

language can be misleading ndash Merlot wine study (Lesschaeve (2006)

When consumers liked the wine they liked its oak character

When consumers disliked the wine they disliked the oak character

Liked oak=Vanillatoasted oak Disliked oak=Smoky oak burnt

New approach ndash Blends sensory and market research techniquesndash Produces preference mapndash Consumers still rate their overall likingndash Wine description is collected from a trained

sensory panel (Descriptive Analysis)ndash Multivariate statistics are used to explain or

predict consumer flavour preference

on consumer choice behaviours and may enable consumers to forgive any dissonance on the sensory profile

Conclusions

relate external information to sensory properties

ndash Do they rely on their memories (brand taste)

ndash What is the influence of context (Eg Tasting room) and repeating tasting
