Dr. Nadia van der Colff, a #speaker at our #SauvignonBlancSeminar and an expert in #consumer behaviour, recently completed one of the largest wine consumer research studies in #SouthAfrica.
More than 2,000 South African #winedrinkers, primarily from #Gauteng, #WesternCape and #KwaZuluNatal participated in an online #survey during 2018.
“When promoting wine, consumers need to #taste it – and the #tasting #experience should be memorable and not too technical”. Read more about her interesting finds as well as her backround on @bizcommunity

“Those of us who care for #SauvignonBlanc should not give up on trying to persuade punters to engage with the #variety on a higher level…” Well known #winewriter and #critic, #ChristianEedes, has some #interesting thoughts regarding Sauvignon Blanc’s #popularity and the element of #producing interesting #styles with the ability to age. “One way of ensuring that the Sauvignon Blanc category doesn’t become a victim of its own #success is to ensure is that at least some of it is made in a way that doesn’t pander to lowest common denominator #tastes but rather #produces #wines of contemplation and wonder.” Read more on @winemag.co.za
