4 Wine back label effects
In this part of study, I will discuss the importance for Chinese consumers of wine translated back label statements when they are choosing wine. And also, I will find out how these factors on the back label were related by price. Ten different back label statements with price were tested through a discrete choice experiment. Three hundred thirty-one wine consumers representing the normal Chinese wine consumers were tested to choose a bottle of wine they were most likely to buy for a special occasion based on different styles of back label statements.

A factor significantly less valued was ‘‘parentage” which can be referred to as history (‘‘. . . family owned winery”) or ‘‘authenticity”. These findings led researchers to assert that statements based on taste and manufacturing procedures have the greatest propensity to enhance consumers’ perception of the quality and value of the
