Discovering the consumer collective unconscious and personal sensory analysis applied for innovative assessment and marketing of wine

Abstract

The art of wine urges mind and brain, “one and triune” because it has three main anatomic and functional which overlapped and integrated during (McLean, 2006), a synthesis of tactile and olfactory sensations related to memory iconic environment and territory, in a constellation of free associations that characterize the knowledge and feeling conscious and unconscious. This dynamic personal and collective unconscious that rises and goes to ghostly figures of projective techniques uses figurative ones reading of dreams and signs, typical of Jung’s psychoanalysis. By the sages of Freudian sexuality, the origin of the circular shape is extended in the presence of fine wines ego – syntonic and syncretic. The method that cuts through the neuro – science and the ‘psyche’, has brought to the surface the deep motivations of users’ choices, reaffirming the primacy of the psyche on the soma, in a harmonious blend of mind- scape and land- scape. One goal of the study is the search for models of interpretation and forecasting, aimed at creating segmentations of consumers, such as to obtain a segmentation and no longer only on the basis of behaviors and life styles, but the profiles, emotional, cognitive and social. The methodology used allows to highlight what wines enhance the collective unconscious than individual, and therefore the wines which are welcome and able to tackle the international markets, create exaltations of conviviality, socialization, joyfulness and good living related to the archetypes of the collective unconscious, branding the target client, predict market niches adequately and competently. The results of the study, and other object of other works, hint at the considerable development potential of this approach to new and innovative wine marketing.

Grape varieties of the future: research, growers and consumers expectations, challenges

The French official catalog now includes more than 350 varieties. Each year, new varieties join the list. With, anytime, the ambition to give opportunities to meet the challenges that wine industry is facing. High hopes and expectations are based on the vine material in order to face climate change, reduction of chemicals or the ability to maintain the competitiveness.

Changes to viticulture in the last forty years. Are these tendencies sustainable?

It is 40 years since I made my first harvest of Syrah vines in the hot climate of Griffith, NSW, Australia. The commercial vineyards of the region were healthy and vigorous, extensively cultivated with heavy and wide tractors, own-rooted, flood irrigated, relatively high yielding (to 30 t/ha), hand pruned and harvested, and with non-positioned, highly-shaded canopies producing bulk wine in general.

Global change, sustainability and challenges for grape and wine production

Grapevines are cultivated on 6 out of 7 continents, between latitudes 4° and 51° in the Northern Hemisphere and between 6° and 45° in the Southern Hemisphere across a large diversity of climates (oceanic, warm oceanic, transition temperate, continental, cold continental, Mediterranean, subtropical, attenuated tropical, and arid climates).

Wine as G x E: effect of temperature on vine and fruit phenotype

A production system is sustainable if it meets four conditions: it is profitable, accounts for environmental and social expectations and ensures product safety. The challenges for sustainability in the vineyard and winery overlap partially. The latest Australian Wine Industry Environment Conference highlighted four aspects relevant to sustainability: profitability, water, energy and warming climate.

Grapevine selection, a mainstay of sustainable viticulture: exemple of current projects in Switzerland

For the last forty years, Swiss research in Viticulture was focused on a model of sustainable production. One of its central objectives is the selection of grapevines adapted to the Swiss pedoclimatic context and highly resistant to the main cryptogamic diseases.
