Abstract

This study segments consumers who purchase natural wine, identifies the characteristics of each segment, and presents the marketing mix (4P) for each segment. Natural wine has recently emerged as a new trend in the restaurant industry. This action contributed to the development of a distinct marketing strategy. As the market segmentation method, a mixture model, one of the market segmentation methods that can supplement the limitations of cluster analysis, was used. As a result of market segmentation, four markets with significant differences were derived, and the results of each segment's analysis are summarized below. First, the'maniac type' consumption group (33.27%) demonstrated a strong preference for natural wine and a high evaluation of the emotional value of satisfaction and pleasure derived from natural wine. The'self-satisfaction type' consumption group (26.24%) was analyzed as a group that seeks self-satisfaction through the functional value of natural wine. Third, the 'curiosity type' consumer group (25.25%) did not feel the value and purchase motivation for natural wine much, but had the desire to experience natural wine. The group (15.24%) had the highest preference for natural wine, and it was discovered that the group had a higher purchase motivation based on health and environmental concerns.
