Abstract

We examine the impact of expert opinion on retail wine sales utilizing an experiment implemented on a national retail chain. A test store was selected to receive an expert-ranking label for selected wines. A comparable control store was also chosen. Sales effects of the ranking were examined and compared between test and control stores.
