China and South Korea Market Overview: Emerging Asian Wine Markets
Report description
Despite this apparent disparity, this report has grouped them together because both markets have wine consumers that share much in common: their attitudes towards wine and how wine is consumed socially; their almost obsessive reliance on the internet and social media (far more so than in the West); and their more ritualistic relationship with alcohol, which offers some benefits but also some drawbacks. Moreover, ‘wine’ for these markets is not confined to grape-based, as rice and grain wine heavily dominate markets. Culturally the wine drinkers in China and South Korea need be approached in different ways to those in established markets.
