Methodology: Online survey • The data for this study was collected in mid October 2006 • Data was gathered via Wine Intelligence’s Consumer Access online survey across Switzerland, Germany and Denmark. There were 1,518 responses in total with at least 500 responses per country • Respondents were required to drink wine at least once per month and to spend between €4,99 and €7,99 (and equivalent) on a bottle of wine in the off-trade at least once per month • When drawing the sample, consideration was given to age and gender so that no one group would dominate the survey • The distribution of the sample was:
The briefing agenda • Some scene settings • Robert Mondavi packaging test • Key Performance Indicators • Closures perception • Closure preference • Reaction to a screw-capped wine in a restaurant • Ability of different closures in ensuring wine quality • Executive summary
Closure preference – Switzerland • Natural cork dominates closure preferences in Switzerland • Very similar results for Germany and Denmark
Closure suitability by wine type - Switzerland • Natural cork dominates as a suitable red wine closure • More mixed picture with white and rosé
Closure suitability by wine type - Germany • Natural cork dominates all wine types in Germany
Closure suitability by wine type - Denmark • Red wine closures need to be natural cork in Denmark • For white and rose, natural cork is still the most popular closure, but consumers appear to be more open-minded
A screw-cap in a restaurant – All countries • General rejection of screw-cap in a restaurant setting across all three countries
Closure ability to guarantee wine quality- All countries • Natural cork is also seen as the most likely to guarantee quality and freshness
Executive summary – Closures perception • Natural cork still dominates overall closure preference in all three countries • While natural cork leads for all wine types, alternative closures are considered more acceptable for white and rosé wine in Switzerland and Denmark, though not in Germany • There is a general rejection for screw-caps in restaurant environment across all three countries • Respondents in all three countries still perceive natural cork to be the best closure for guaranteeing wine freshness and quality
