Factors Influencing Wine Purchasing by Generation Y and Older Cohorts on the Serbian Wine Market

Abstract

This research investigates current preferences in wine purchase patterns and factors that affect the online purchase of wine by Generation Y and older cohorts in the Republic of Serbia. Our research utilizes descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, the Mann–Whitney nonparametric test, and binary logistic regression. The results indicate that wine purchasing is conducted on an occasional basis—mostly monthly and weekly—with a tendency to buy wine throughout the whole year. The older cohort has a more pronounced rank, compared to Generation Y, regarding WTP for wines with a specific geographical origin and local wines. Although Generation Y and the older cohort have no habit of buying wine online, the information on geographical origin represents the most important online information related to online purchase intention. The strongest influence on online wine purchasing among members of the older cohort is a link that connects producers with consumers to allow the latter to obtain additional information and send remarks, suggestions, and/or praise, as well as a link to the winemakers’ association website, and the very significant influence of female gender. The strongest influence on online wine purchasing in Generation Y is the information on geographical origin. Female gender and income are also very significant. As wine consumption in the Republic of Serbia is gradually increasing, a growing interest in online wine purchases is expected. Our findings can provide useful information for building profiles of online wine consumers, depending on age cohort.

Influence of human capital on the performance of organic milk production

“…Further analysis of the structural model, using the bootstrapping procedure, (5 % significance level) has shown that the Outer VIF values are in the range of 1.316-1.993, and the Inner VIF values are in the range of 1.394-2.689. As the obtained values are less than 3, we conclude that there is no problem of collinearity in the model, which was in agreement with other researchers (Balenović et al, 2021;Ignjatijević et al, 2015).…”

Agro-Environmental Practices and Business Performance in the Wine Sector

“…As the authors point out, the wine production in Serbia has potential [2,56], but additional financial resources are needed [4,61]. Stable production [1,3], i.e., volume growth (liters) is the most important component of the financial performance (FP) of the wineries (FP3 = 0.877), along with the overall profitability of this winery (path coefficient FP4 = 0.811).…”

“…Wine tourists plan their visits based on certain information (size of winery, length of stay in the wine region), including various motivating factors [46,[49][50][51][52][53][54]. Educating visitors and other potential consumers is important in building brand loyalty and improving the winery's business performance [55,56]. Tours, product tastings and production presentations are activities for the education of visitors and consumers, wine tourism is connected with the past and tradition, in the global context of tourism (landscape, cultural activities, and catering systems).…”
