This is made clear considering that underage drinkers in the United States consumed “an estimated 19.7% of the total alcohol consumed”

We must verify whether this focused strategy will highlight shared values of the middle-aged, blue-collar persona and the younger, point of entry target without alienating our current consumers.

However, fifty and older consumers’ preferences show an increased interest in wine and a decrease in both beer and liquor. This shift suggests that many beer drinkers move away from beer as they age and gravitate toward wine. There is significant market potential if Bud Light can lure these fifty and older drinkers back to beer and away from wine.

In the article, it talks about the growth of alcohol consumption of 15% over the decade through 2015. Population growth is the primary driver and well as generational effects as American millennials. These millennials are more interested in cocktails and craft beer that major liquor companies put the U.S. front and center of their strategies.

Vincor is a well established wine and wine-related producer based out of Mississauga Ontario. Vincor wants to use their current success and venture into the refreshment market by introducing a new line of coolers. In order to do this Vincor will have to decide what type of cooler to produce as well as the design, packaging, price and marketing strategy.

He also works in a managerial or professional occupation earning over $30,000 annually. Coors’ three competitors also exhibit a similar consumer base with the exception of Molson being predominantly regular beer consumers. These conclusions are tested to be statistically significant.
