Recent studies proved young consumers drink almost four times more vodka than the average Portuguese consumer. The present research focuses on understanding consumer behaviour in the vodka market through interviews with market experts and vodka consumers and conducting structured surveys. Applying market research techniques such as conjoint analysis, it was possible to understand consumers preferences regarding product features and also to identify the main consumer decision-making styles. It was verified that quality is associated with price, being the two most important attributes in the consumer decision-making of vodka and that although Portuguese vodka consumers are essentially price driven, they have minimum standards for quality.engConsumer behaviourPurchase decisionsPerceptual mapsConjoint analysisAlcoholic beveragesSpiritsVodkaBrand perceptionAttributesUnderstanding consumer patterns in the vodka marketmaster thesis203315529
