Effects of non‐sensory cues on perceived quality: the case of low‐alcohol wine

Abstract: On the basis of an experiment on expectancies disconfirmation and cognitive categorization, this research evaluates consumers' acceptability of low-alcohol wine. Using blind tasting and full tasting of three low-alcohol wines and three regular wines on a sample of 73 consumers, we show the impact of the "low-alcohol" cue on perceived quality. Our main results reveal no significant difference in liking between low-alcohol wine and regular wine. Expectations created by the "low-alcohol" cue have no negative impa… Show more

“…Consumers judged wines mainly by price, regardless of the oak level and wholesalers were unable to predict consumers' perceptions. Others have focused on single aspects of extrinsic attributes, for example, low alcohol labels (Masson et al, 2008) or region ( Johnson and Bruwer, 2007). Recent econometric analysis (Dahlstro¨m and Å sberg, 2009) has taken a multivariate approach to a comprehensive Swedish consumption dataset, to predict media critics' ratings of wine quality.…”

“…Given that blind tasting is a typical methodological approach in the context of food and beverage marketing, our experimental design relies on existing studies in the field of wine marketing (e.g. Ballester et al, 2005;Lecocq et al, 2005;Masson et al, 2008;Parr et al, 2003;Solomon, 1997;Wansink, 2006). Particularly, our blind tests were designed to measure the extent to which the "organic" status brings bias into the sensory perception and evaluation of the given wines.…”

“…Several researchers have examined the various components of wine quality, mainly divided into intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions, whereby the product complexity led to concentrate on perceived and less on actual quality (Smith and Bentzen, 2011;Masson et al, 2008; Crossgenerational preferences for wine Pettigrew, 2007). Given the circumstance that consumers prefer to buy wine with high product quality since they perceive more value from it (Boatto et al, 2011), we suggest:…”
