I don't doubt that much of that is program driven, but that just reinforces that the population on this site (or really any wine discussion board) is not the target audience for the survey. We are much more passionate and have much more knowledge about wine than any marketeers, so will not be swayed by the labels/awards/saavy price point stuff.
So in retrospect, perhaps not a terrible survey so much as a mismatch of survey versus targeting this audience.
And FYI - I hate Sauvignon Blanc and barely tolerate Merlot.

1. i hope no one is saying that if they were forced to pick wines from a wine list say - and two wines were the same price - and one of them received a gold medal at a competition and the other a bronze - that you would not use this info to help make a choice..
Daniel Rogov wrote:David, Hi.....
I understood your question perfectly. My problem is that I think so little of competitions and the medals they award that in the case of two wines, both from unknown producers, both of the same variety or blend, both from the same vintage and both from the same region, that if no other source of information was available, I would simply flip a mental coin to decide on which "to go with".

That was another of my big complaints about the survey. I clicked 0 for almost all the wines because I don't buy those types of wines (Merlot, non German and Austrian riesling, etc). But the computer won't be able to get at that source of my decision because it didn't have any questions about the importance of region and grape for my purchasing decisions.
