Analysing consumers’ decision-making process for non-alcoholic spirit drinks and dehalcolized aromatized wines 

Abstract

The interest in the NoLo (No Alcohol/Low Alcohol) beverages has grown, driven by evolving consumer preferences and societal trends, including a wave of health consciousness, and has gained strategic attention within the industry. Despite the advantages identified in the consumption of NoLo alcoholic drinks, many barriers exist. The analysis of the literature highlights the need for research to explore the decision-making process and the role of psychological and sociocultural factors in driving the choice of NoLo beverages. This study analyses consumption patterns and perceptions of regular drinkers and non-drinkers of alcoholic beverages focusing on vitinicultural products towards non-alcoholic spirit drinks and dealcoholized/no-alcohol aromatized wines as they are or as ingredients of NoLo cocktails.

Analyse du processus décisionnel des consommateurs pour les boissons spiritueuses non alcoolisées et les vins aromatisés désalcoolisés

 Ces dernières années, la consommation de boissons alcoolisées a changé, sous l’effet de l’évolution des préférences des consommateurs et des tendances sociétales, notamment une vague de prise de conscience en matière de santé. Parmi ces changements, l’émergence et la prolifération des boissons alcoolisées nolo (sans alcool/à faible teneur en alcool) ont attiré l’attention du secteur. Les boissons alcoolisées nolo sont produites pour imiter l’apparence, l’arôme et le goût des boissons alcoolisées, ce qui peut faciliter un sentiment d’intégration sociale lors de la consommation d’un produit qui ressemble beaucoup à de l’alcool. Le terme “boissons spiritueuses sans alcool” englobe différentes typologies d’alternatives sans alcool aux boissons spiritueuses traditionnelles, ainsi que différents processus de production. C’est probablement l’une des raisons pour lesquelles il n’existe actuellement aucune définition juridique harmonisée de ces produits, même s’ils sont de plus en plus proposés aux consommateurs et font l’objet d’une publicité. La catégorie de produits appelée “vin aromatisé” en tant que telle n’est pas immédiatement connue des consommateurs qui, la plupart du temps, les consomment dans des boissons alcoolisées mélangées et des cocktails emblématiques. La version sans alcool des vins aromatisés est obtenue par le biais de vins désalcoolisés pour lesquels une législation spécifique est disponible (par exemple en europe).  Les vins désalcoolisés aromatisés (daw) suscitent un intérêt croissant de la part de l’industrie et des consommateurs dans la préparation de cocktails aromatisés.  Les motivations des consommateurs de produits nolo sont principalement liées à des questions de santé et au désir d’atténuer les effets de la consommation d’alcool. Si le goût peut constituer un frein à la consommation de vins nolo, le goût et la familiarité avec la marque sont des moteurs importants de la consommation de boissons spiritueuses nolo et daw. Outre les attributs intrinsèques et extrinsèques des produits, des raisons personnelles peuvent également déterminer le choix de consommer des produits alcoolisés nolo en fonction des occasions, en particulier dans un contexte “hors foyer”. Malgré les avantages identifiés de la consommation de boissons spiritueuses nolo, il existe de nombreux obstacles. L’analyse de la littérature met en évidence la nécessité d’étudier le processus de décision et le rôle des facteurs psychologiques et socioculturels dans le choix des boissons spiritueuses nolo et des daw. Cette étude analyse les habitudes de consommation et les perceptions des consommateurs réguliers et des non-consommateurs de boissons alcoolisées à l’égard des boissons spiritueuses non alcoolisées, en mettant l’accent sur les produits vinicoles et sur les vins aromatisés désalcoolisés et/ou leur utilisation dans les cocktails mixtes nolo.  La theory of planned behaviour sera appliquée pour analyser le rôle des attitudes, du contexte social, du contrôle comportemental perçu et des traits personnels dans l’influence de l’intention de consommer des boissons spiritueuses sans alcool pour les buveurs réguliers et les non-buveurs. Une enquête par le biais de questionnaires sur les moteurs et les obstacles à l’intention de consommer des boissons spiritueuses sans alcool et des daw sera menée par un fournisseur de panel.

Analisi del processo decisionale dei consumatori per le bevande spiritose analcoliche e i vini aromatizzati dealcolizzati

Negli ultimi anni, il consumo di bevande alcoliche sta cambiando, spinto dall’evoluzione delle preferenze dei consumatori e dalle tendenze della società, compresa un’ondata di consapevolezza salutistica. Tra questi cambiamenti, l’emergere e la proliferazione delle bevande alcoliche nolo (no alcohol/low alcohol) hanno guadagnato un’attenzione significativa nel settore. Le bevande alcoliche nolo sono prodotte per emulare l’aspetto, l’aroma e il gusto delle bevande alcoliche, facilitando potenzialmente un senso di integrazione sociale nel consumo di un prodotto che assomiglia molto all’alcol. Il termine bevande spiritose analcoliche comprende diverse tipologie di alternative senza alcol alle bevande spiritose tradizionali e diversi processi di produzione, ed è probabilmente uno dei motivi per cui attualmente non esiste una definizione legale armonizzata per questi prodotti, anche se queste bevande vengono sempre più spesso proposte e pubblicizzate ai consumatori. La classe di prodotti che va sotto il nome di “vino aromatizzato” in quanto tale non è di immediata conoscenza per i consumatori, che il più delle volte li consumano mescolati con bevande alcoliche e in cocktail iconici. La versione analcolica dei vini aromatizzati si ottiene con i vini dealcolizzati, per i quali esiste una legislazione specifica (ad esempio in europa).  I vini aromatizzati dealcolizzati (daw) stanno riscuotendo un crescente interesse da parte dell’industria e dei consumatori nella preparazione di cocktail aromatizzati.  Le motivazioni che spingono al consumo di prodotti nolo sono principalmente legate a preoccupazioni per la salute e al desiderio di mitigare gli effetti del consumo di alcol. Se il gusto è un ostacolo per il consumo di vini nolo, il gusto e l’esperienza di consumo legata ad un marchio sono importanti fattori di consumo per le bevande spiritose e i daw nolo. Al di là degli attributi intrinseci ed estrinseci del prodotto, anche le ragioni personali possono essere fattori che determinano l’intenzione di consumare prodotti alcolici nolo in base alle occasioni di consumo, in particolare nel contesto “fuori casa”. Nonostante i vantaggi identificati nel consumo di bevande alcoliche nolo, esistono molte barriere. L’analisi della letteratura evidenzia la necessità di una ricerca che esplori il processo decisionale e il ruolo dei fattori psicologici e socioculturali nel guidare la scelta di bevande alcoliche e daw nolo. Questo studio analizza i modelli di consumo e le percezioni dei consumatori abituali e dei non bevitori di bevande alcoliche nei confronti delle bevande spiritose analcoliche, concentrandosi sui prodotti della viticoltura e sui vini dealcolizzati aromatizzati e/o il loro utilizzo nei cocktail nolo.  La theory of planned behaviour sarà applicata per analizzare il ruolo degli atteggiamenti, del contesto sociale, del controllo comportamentale percepito e dei tratti personali nell’influenzare l’intenzione di consumare questi prodotti. Un’indagine tramite questionario sui fattori che spingono e ostacolano l’intenzione di consumare bevande di origine vitivinicola e daw ad alcohol zero sarà condotta presso un panel di consumatori fornito da società specializzate.

Les AOC : un frein ou un moteur à l’innovation ? Retour sur l’histoire économique, scientifique, sociale et technique des vins d’appellation au XXe siècle en France

At a time when the world’s winegrowing industry is having to adapt to a number of challenges, winegrowers are wondering about the consequent changes they will have to make (grape varieties, changes in vineyard and cellar techniques). For winegrowers and consumers alike, there is also the question of how these changes will affect the taste of their wines. This research, based on the study of numerous sources and archives from the 20th century, some of which have never been published before, aims to show that, in the recent past, the winegrowing world has shown incredible resilience in the face of crises, and that the taste and perception of fine wines has changed considerably in 100 years.

100 ans d’évolution des règles relatives à l’encépagement des AOC viticoles françaises : quelles perspectives face aux enjeux contemporains

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.

Histoire des Vitis depuis leurs origines possibles sur la Pangée jusqu’aux cépages cultivés : un exemple de résilience liée à la biodiversité des espèces

The first forms of life on earth were bacteria and single-celled blue-green algae. They evolved into land plants around 500 million years ago, developing mechanisms for surviving on land, such as roots, stems and leaves. This evolution also led them to coexist with other organisms, such as insects and animals, for pollination and seed dispersal, as well as to resist environmental factors such as drought and disease.
