“…The role of brand image and reputation on purchasing preferences of sparkling wine has been clearly highlighted in Europe, as in the German (Mueller, 2006), French (Vignes & Gergaud, 2007), Croatian (Cerjak, Tomić, & Fočić, 2014), US (Judica & Steven Perkins, 1992) and Australian market (Verdonk et al, 2017). Collective reputation, like country or region of origin or PDO/PGI, plays a similar role both in Italy (Thiene, Scarpa, Galletto, & Boatto, 2013b) and in Germany (Mueller, 2006); in the latter Trestini, Giampietri, Szathvary, and Dal Bianco (2018) identify some price effect related to the alleged imitation of Prosecco name.…”
