Some Articles that Have Gotten to Me!

Laura Lawson

When it comes down to it, we still have a lot of people who don't understand the buying roles in households.

I came across an article by DouglasGreen, "Women more Affected by Price of Wine than Men" (here is the link: http://douglasgreen.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/women-more-affected-by-price-of-wine-than-men/).   I find this article very interesting because one fact I do know...Women are buying 80% of their wine in grocery stores...and although there is a nice selection at your local grocery store, you are not normally overwhelmed by the prices there. 

Another article in the Wine Spectator, Women's Wine-Drinking Habits Examined in Global Vinexpo Survey (here is the link: http://www.winespectator.com/Wine/Features/0,1197,5032,00.html).  This was an online survey and 431 women in the US responded.....one in which I hardly believe represents the women of the United States.  One of the biggest problems I had with the responses was that 84% said they bought their wine in a specialty shops...Again, go to my statistic above....GROCERY STORES!!!  And 65% try new wines each time?  And only 35% buy the same wine over and over??  Please I alone break this ratio.....
