Abstract

© The Editor(s) 2016.A survey collected information related to Millennials’ wine purchasing behavior, and their wine information search process. Approximately 30% of the sample reported using Facebook as a source of information on wine. Millennials that report using Facebook for information about wine are more likely to engage with multiple social media platforms and are more apt to use technology for information. Those who use Facebook for wine information are more likely to drink wine at a party, purchase more wine each month, and spend more on wine each month. These Facebook Millennials are more likely to consider varietal when purchasing wine and are more likely to consider themselves wine enthusiasts. In addition, they are more likely to focus on the convenience of wine packaging alternatives.
