🍷 An IULM University study presented at Vinitaly during the "Wine Tricks" event by Le Donne del Vino on April 8 reveals Italian youths' relationship with wine: curious but not very knowledgeable, with a preference for red (40.8%) and white (38%) wines in social settings. The research conducted on 188 young people aged 18-25 shows a preference for bottles priced between €10-€25, primarily purchased from supermarkets (23.2%), restaurants/pizzerias (21.7%), and local shops (21.2%). Consumption is mainly at restaurants (61.1%) and home (62%), with purchase decisions influenced by personal experience (20.2%), word of mouth (19.5%), and price (19.4%). Wine is not considered a status symbol, and e-commerce remains marginal (14.2%) in this market segment.
