dc.description.abstract | This work is an attempt to analyze the impact of a growing business culture centered on environmental consciousness in the State of Oregon on retail prices for the price of wine produced and sold in Oregon. Prices of organically certified and noncertified wine at retail prices were gathered and statistically analyzed for price correlations. Results suggest the organically certified eco-labeled wine sells at a retail price premium in Oregon's Willamette Valley. This could contradict earlier findings that eco-labels reduce the price of a bottle of sustainably certified wine. There is a growing interest in researching organic business practices and associated consequences, as many organic practices have been adopted in the last two decades. This research presents more evidence for a growing debate on organic business practices as well as insight for Oregon's retail wine industry. | en_US |
