Additionally, it explores the findings from preliminary interviews conducted with consumers and an expert. The results indicate that Phunk is the brand most easily recalled by all consumers, while other brands suffer from a lack of familiarity. To encourage increased consumption, it is recommended to improve availability of Hard Seltzers in bars, restaurants, and clubs, as well as enhance the cohesive placement of this product in supermarkets for better visibility.engInterviewsAlcoholic beveragesHard seltzersPortugalMethodologyConsumer insightsMarket researchConsumer perceptions and preferences for hard seltzers in Portugal: a comparative study with beer, wine, and cider- building the foundation for the study through a Mmethodological approach and preliminary interviewsmaster thesis203365321
