“…Methodologically, the MLLC segmentation approach is applied to purchase scanner data that catch information on wine and purchaser. The wine segmentation literature following behavioral, generational or lifestyle approaches (Bruwer & Li, 2007; Castellini & Samoggia, 2018; Fountain & Lamb, 2011; Geraghty & Torres, 2009; Mueller et al, 2011; Thach & Olsen, 2006) work on sociodemographic variables, usage, product and buying preferences, way of living, and so forth, using survey data collected usually through interviews (questionnaires). Scanner data, such as AC Nielsen data, have been used in the Italian wine literature to segment the price of Sicilian wines (Di Vita, Caracciolo, Cembalo, Pomarici, & D'Amico, 2015), to estimate the demand of table wines (Torrisi, Stefani, & Seghieri, 2006) or to figure out differences in Prosecco appellations (Onofri et al, 2015).…”
