- A quantitative study was conducted with 479 respondents to measure perceived risks associated with wine purchase and consumption.
- The study found that purchase of wine and wine consumption are associated with very low risk. Physical risks short and long term are also very low. However, risks concerning taste performance, psychosocial risks, financial risks and loss of time risks are relatively high.
- To reduce their perceived risks, consumers mostly rely on the origin of production, interpersonal opinions and advice from friends and family, and information provided on the geographic or production origin.
