Abstract

Historically, wine was introduced in Vietnam by the French. Further to develop wine consumption in Vietnam, this paper examined the opinions and motivations for wine drinking in a group of Vietnamese consumers and potential consumers. Their concerns were compared with the opinions and motivations expressed by a group of participants from France, considered as a ‘traditional’ consumer country. Our results showed that in Vietnam wine-drinking motivations are characterised by utilitarian and symbolic aspects rather than experiential ones. Certain cultural characteristics of Vietnamese consumers are put forward to explain their motivations.
