Offering Large Selection of Wine Brands Boosts Sales at Restaurants and Especially at Bars

A recent survey of wine drinkers shows that being offered a large selection of wine brands increases their consumption at both restaurants and bars
STAMFORD, Conn. - April 12, 2013 - PRLog -- According to Alcoholic Beverage DemandTracker, a periodic survey of US adults age 21+ who consume any type of alcohol at least once a week or more, offering a larger selection of wine brands in the on-premise channel helps the operator sell more wine, especially for bars.

Among wine drinkers who visit restaurants regularly, 31% of them say they are more likely to drink wine and 23% say they order more servings of wine as a result of being offered a larger selection of wine brands.  Some wine drinkers are also more likely to experiment by ordering wine brands they’ve never tried before (26%).  Only 32% of wine drinkers who visit restaurants say that a larger selection of wine brands has no effect on their consumption

Among wine drinkers who visit bars regularly, 38% of them say they are more likely to drink wine and 31% say they order more servings of wine as a result of being offered a larger selection of wine brands.  Some wine drinkers are also more likely to experiment by ordering wine brands they’ve never tried before (25%).  Only 25% of wine drinkers who visit bars say that a larger selection of wine brands has no effect on their consumption.

“Our latest findings confirm the value for on-premise operators of offering a large selection of wine,” said David Decker, President of Consumer Edge Insight.   “For those who enjoy wine, seeing a large selection of wine brands at a bar or restaurant is an invitation to consume and experiment.  Bars and restaurants that provide a larger wine offering should lead to a larger number of servings consumed on each occasion.”
