Abstract

This study explored the view that distributors have towards the most valued wine attributes by consumers in the US market, applying the discrete choice experi-ments technique. Furthermore, to explore the extent to which the distributors’ perspec-tive may reflect consumers’ preferences, the results are analyzed considering previous evidence with consumers in the same market. The results from a scaled multinomial logit, mixed logit and generalized logit models reveal similarities with consumer stud-ies’ findings, especially for the influence of medals/awards, the origin of the wine, grape variety, and price, and it also identifies possible trends in the market. This evi-dence suggests that data collected using the knowledge and experience of wine dis-tributors generates valuable information through a smaller sample at a lower cost than through applying consumer surveys, which is relevant in large markets with a higher number of consumers.
