Abstract

This study analyzes consumers preferences and price sensitivity when buying domestic wine. Data were collected from the consumers (n=200) living in Daegu, Korea. Statistical analyses evaluated purchase, frequency, perceptual mapping, and price sensitivity measurement (PSMs) using SPSS software. Among three domestic wines, ice wine (Vin Coree) attracted most customer satisfaction. The second most popular wine was a white wine (Vin Coree) and the third was a red wine (Royal Campbell). The colors of the red and white wines were highly valued, and bottle design was reported to be the best feature of ice wine. Red wine needs to increase in price and to improve in quality because the price is lower than the point of marginal cheapness. White wine should be reduced in price because the price is higher than the optimal pricing point. The price of ice wine is equal to the point of marginal expensiveness; Thus, the price of ice wine should be reduced.

본 연구에서는 소비자의 포도주 속성별 선호분석 및 가격 민감성 분석을 실시하였다. 자료는 대구지역 200명의 소비자들을 대상으로 포도주 시음회 및 설문조사를 통해 수집하였다. 세 종류의 국내산 포도주에 대한 만족도, 재구매 의사 및 타인 추천 의사는 모두 아이스와인(Vin Coree)이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 속성별 만족도는 적포도주 (Royal Campbell)와 백포도주(Vin Coree)의 경우 색깔에 대한 만족도가, 아이스와인(Vin Coree)의 경우 병 디자인에 대한 만족도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 적포도주(Royal Campbell)의 가격은 저가한계점보다 낮기 때문에 가격을 인상하고, 품질을 개선할 필요가 있다. 백포도주(Vin Coree)의 가격은 수용가격대의 범위에 포함되나, 최적가격점보다 상회하므로 가격을 인하하는 것이 유리하다. 아이스와인 (Vin Coree)의 출시가격은 고가한계점의 가격이며, 최적가격점을 훨씬 상회하므로 가격 인하가 필요하다.
