Hello everyone,
I have just recently joined the forum in search of a community of wine lovers who could perhaps take part in this graduate school survey. The purpose of this survey is to better understand consumer behavior when shopping for wine. If you would be so kind please respond to the following survey, the longer the answers the better, this is a qualitative essay. I would like to make this process as interactive as possible and I will probe for further details as the need may rise. Please feel free to react to each other's answers as well, like I said I would like this survey to become a conversation among community members.
I look forward to your responses. Thank you in advance.
