Current study, based on blind and informed tasting, measured sustainability information influence on respondents’ (n = 162) perceptions of organic and fungus-resistant grape (FRG) white wines. Findings of the within-subject non hypothetical experiment revealed that information has a stronger, positive impact on participants’ perception of organic wine (increasing 13 % monetary preferences) compared to FRG wine (+9%). Additionally, attitudinal characteristics driving consumers’ preferences towards FRG wine diverge from organic core motivations.
