Ready to Embrace Genetically Modified Wines? The Role of Knowledge Exposure and Intrinsic Wine Attributes

Abstract: This study examines whether knowledge exposure and supreme wine attributes such as appearance, aroma, taste, and hangover avoidance influence consumers’ quality evaluation and purchase intentions of genetically modified (GM) wines. We conducted two experimental studies in two different settings involving a total of 321 subjects. Results indicate that educating consumers with knowledge on GM wines efficiently reduces the fear caused by GM identity. Importantly, the desirable organoleptic and functional performa… Show more

“…Studies related to consumer attitudes and preferences toward GMO continue to be published (e.g., Lewis, Grebitus, and Nayga, 2016a;Lu, Rahman, and Chi, 2016). Similar to prior research, findings indicate acceptance of GMO foods when a clear benefit is provided (Lu et al, 2016). Because consumers' WTP varies greatly by product category, nearly all of the research-review and singlestudy-concludes with a call for further research into consumer acceptance of GM and GMO-free food (Lusk et al, 2005;Bernard and Bernard, 2010).…”

Hence, in both cases, perceived knowledge negatively influences the GM food trust.…”

“…The differences in levels of quality should be considered for wine differentiation and positioning in the market place [98]. The perception of quality attributes may also reduce the concerns of consumers with regard to controversial products, such as genetically modified wine [99]. However, the perceptions of quality are not equal for all age and gender groups [100].…”
