The qualitative method used one-to-one in-depth laddering interview, and the quantitative method used a self-complete questionnaire. The paper was constructed based on 105 survey responses and six in-depth laddering interviews.
The paper summarizes four extrinsic attributes of organic wine that the survey respondents perceive as important elements when they select organic wines from the wine store. These elements are price, package design, alcohol content, and eco-label. Furthermore, the paper adopts the means-end chain concept and laddering interview to further probe consumer motivations and goals. The results reveal one more product attribute, the grape taste, which the survey failed to uncover. Furthermore, the interviews indicate six goals that could partially explain why the research respondents purchase organic wine. These goals are fun and enjoyment, remaining healthy, value for money, building a positive self-image, sense of security, and sense of belonging. (Less)
