Abstract

As wine is increasingly becoming a lifestyle beverage among local consumers, there is a great need to understand wine consumer profiles. According to the research of this study, there is a clear evidence that four wine consumer groups exist in the Korean domestic wine market. Wine consumers are classified into four different groups: connoisseurs, aspirants, newcomers, and outsiders. This study has shown that wine with rich aroma and red wine preferred the most and young wine and white wine are the least selected in general.
