Abstract:
The ability of the wine industry to attract a new customer base (Thach, 2005) requires a thorough understanding of the needs and wants of that group (Kotler, 2003). Selected literature published between 1991 and 2006 is examined for three psychographic characteristics (i.e., values, attitudes, and lifestyles) of the millennial generation using a conceptual analysis method. Findings are translated into a market segmentation and preliminary target market description for use by wine sales and marketing staff.
