Cross-Cultural Design in Wine Destination Websites BACHELOR’S THESIS IN INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE, SPECIALISATION WEB CONTENT MANAGER AND DESIGNER, FACULTY OF LIBRARIANSHIP, INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND IT 2020 Cross-cultural design in wine destination websites Cultural sensitivity and motivations in UI through investigation of web interface design elements ANNA AHL OBUCINA © Anna Ahl Obucina Partial or full copying and distribution of the material in this thesis without permission is forbidden English title: Cross-cultural design in wine destination websites – Cultural sensitivity and motivations in UI through investigation of web interface design elements Author: Anna Ahl Obucina Completed: 2020 Abstract: This thesis sets out to investigate hedonic and cultural web interface design elements present on wine tourism destination websites. The thesis focuses on explaining several cultural frameworks and especially the notion of localization, globalization, culturability, and cultural markers, the high/low context theory as well as tenets of hedonics in user interface design. The aim of the thesis was to develop a better understanding and knowledge about which localized design elements that exist and are important in the cultural context of wine tourism destination websites. Hence, the patterns found can help understand how to create and design websites that are culturally sensitive and globally congruent, thus meeting the needs and behaviors of users across different cultures and backgrounds. A web design analysis was conducted to answer the research questions and results were analyzed qualitatively. The results from the web design analysis indicate several similarities and differences found in web interface design elements between the investigated websites. The results found, indicate that the use of hedonic and cultural web interface design elements present on the interfaces investigated are highly context-dependent. Meaning that the websites are preferably considered being culturally dependent, and to a greater extent reflect and are used to motivate the cultural context examined and regional differences. Hence, the patterns found in web interface design elements are considered to be culturally sensitive to the context of wine destination websites and marketing aims of the websites investigated. The findings can increase knowledge about hedonic aspects in cross- cultural design and can thus be used to help create culturally congruent and globalized interfaces for this specific context.

.................................................................................................... 81 1 Introduction This thesis focuses on localization, globalization and the identification of web interface design elements, or so-called cultural markers, in the context of wine tourism destination websites. The term localization, as used in this thesis, is based on the definition by Cyr and Trevor-Smith (2004), meaning that the design elements present on the user interface of a website should be adapted to fit the specific cultural locale of the target user. Cultural markers are based on Badre and Barber's (1998) definition as the design elements most likely to be preferred and prevalent within a specific culture, therefore having a great impact on the usability of the web interface. In this study, cultural markers are preferably mentioned as cultural web interface design elements or simply just web interface design elements. Wine tourism is a cultural activity involving hedonic motivations for undertaking these activities. Hedonics, in the context of wine tourism destination websites, is defined as the interface design elements that can help cater for appealing and enjoyable virtual experiences, hence motivating tourists to visit physically (Luna-Nevarez & Hyman, 2012, p. 94). The web interface design elements considered to be hedonic are visual appearance and color. Websites of destination marketing organizations (DMOs) as described by Rafetzeder

    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 10, Issue 25 February 8, 2016 Revisiting New Zealand Pinot Noir on the Occasion of Spectacular 2013 Vintage The New Zealand wine industry is thriving in a relatively small country that depends on exports for its survival. According the 2015 New Zealand Winegrowers Annual Report, the value of New Zealand wine exports grew 7% in 2015 to reach a new record of $1.42 billion. Three markets, Australia, UK and USA each account for around one quarter of exports (the USA is the largest export market by value) with significant future growth potential evident in North American and China. New Zealand wine is exported to more than 90 countries. Exports of Pinot Noir nearly doubled from 2008 to 2015. New Zealand is still renowned for Sauvignon Blanc which accounts for the vast majority of the country’s wine production, but Pinot Noir, and even Chardonnay, is attracting the most attention from wine connoisseurs. As Nick Stock, Australia Gourmet Traveller Wine, pointed out in April 2015, “The attention given to New Zealand Pinot Noir is well above what’s deserved in terms of the amount made, but factor in their quality across a range of styles and it’s easy to justify the hype.” Refer to chart below for percentage of production by varietal. From 2006 to 2015, the number of New Zealand wineries has increased from 530 to 673 and the number of growers from 87 to 762. Total producing vineyard area in 2015 was 88,609 acres. Pinot Noir acreage has increased from 10,039 acres in 2006 to 13,748 acres in 2015 (nearly equal to the 14,027 acres of Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley.

    Pinot Noir is part of a well- lived life Volume 9, Issue 25 June 1, 2013 Pinot Noir Doctors “Inside each of us there’s another man or woman dying to get out. That other person is your alter ego, who begs you to cast aside your tedious, day-to-day routine and thrust yourself into the life you’ve always dreamed of living.” Fred W. Frailey, Editor, Kiplinger’s Although he was the most famous “Wine Doctor” and often called America’s greatest winemaker, Andre Tchelistcheff was not a licensed medical practitioner. There is, however, an extensive list of medical doctors who are winery owners, winegrowers or winemakers. In addition, there are many doctors who have combined their medical background and enjoyment of wine to become advocates of wine as part of a healthy lifestyle. Many Pinot Noir winemakers started out in a career path to become medical doctors. Examples abound, such as Dan Goldfield (Dutton-Goldfield), Natalie West (Foppiano Vineyards), Eric Hammacher (Hammacher Wines), Rod Berglund (Joseph Swan Vineyards), and Cécile Lemerie-Dèrbes (Derbès Wines) According to Wine into Word (James Gabler), the first book about wine was published by Arnaldus of Villanova, who was a physician, surgeon, botanist, alchemist, philosopher, writer, astrologer, lay theologian and counselor to kins and popes. About 1310, Arnald wrote a book on wine, but because the printing press had not yet been invented, his book was initially handwritten. In 1478, his book was translated into German and printed, making it the first book on wine to use this new invention. The first complete book in English on wine was by William Turner (1568), and the first (Sir Edward Berry), the second (Robert Shannon), and third (Alexander Henderson) books in English that discuss modern wines were written by physicians.

    AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WINE ECONOMISTS AAWE WORKING PAPER No. 151 Economics Classification and Re-Classification: Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA and its New Sub-AVAs Omer Gokcekus and Clare M. Finnegan Feb 2014 www.wine-economics.org ISSN 2166-9112 Classification and re-classification: Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA and its new sub-AVAs * Omer Gokcekus a and Clare M. Finnegan a Abstract: The creation of new, sub-AVAs within Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA may indicate a desire on the part of well-established wineries to “split” or separate their social grouping from those with lesser qualifications. Once their social cluster has been differentiated, we theorize that these wineries would be able to capitalize on their newly developed distinctiveness and collect a larger regional reputation premium. Based on 2,221 Wine Spectator rated pinot noir wines between 1984 and 2008, regression analyses demonstrate that indeed regional reputation premiums have significantly increased with the creation of sub-AVAs; and that the price-quality ratio gap between sub-AVAs and the rest of Willamette has widened. (JEL Classification: C20, Q12, Q13, L66) Key Words: Wine, classification, terroir, AVA, regional reputation premium. * We would like to thank Karl Storchmann for providing the Wine Spectator data; and Huseyin Cakal, Neal Hulkower, Edward Tower and the participants of the Session 3: Regulating the Industry of the 7th Annual AAWE Conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa for their helpful comments and suggestions. a School of Diplomacy and International Relations, Seton Hall University, South Orange, 07079, USA.

  • Umpqua Valley Wine History
    Umpqua Valley Location: Umpqua Valley AVA sits between the Coast Range to the west and the Cascade Range to the east, with the Willamette Valley AVA to the north and the Rogue Valley AVA to the south. Named for the legendary fishing river that runs nearby, the appellation stretches 65 miles from north to south, and is 25 miles from east to west. Wine history: The Umpqua Valley's winegrowing history dates back to the 1880s when German immigrants who had worked for the Beringer Bros., the oldest continuously operating vineyard in Napa, planted the first wine grape vineyard in the Valley. Post-prohibition, Richard Sommer established Hillcrest Vineyards near Roseburg in 1961. He was the first to plan Pinot noir in Oregon despite being told by his California (Davis) cohorts that it was impossible to successfully grow wine grapes in Oregon. Obviously, they were wrong. Just eight years later, in 1969, Paul Bjelland of Bjelland Vineyards founded the Oregon Winegrowers Association in the Umpqua Valley. During the 1970s new wineries opened, including Henry Estate Winery, whose winemaker Scott Henry developed a now world-famous trellis system, which increases grape yield, among other benefits. The Umpqua Valley appellation continues to evolve as new winemakers discover the area, bringing with them a passion for innovation and world- class wine. The Umpqua Valley appellation became official in 1984. Climate: One of Oregon's more diverse climates, the Umpqua Valley can successfully grow both cool and warm varieties. It's comprised of three distinct climatic sub-zones: 1) The Northern area around the town of Elkton enjoys a cool, marine-influenced climate.

Idaho Washington State Washington is the country’s second-largest producer of vinifera wines. While still in California’s shadow, Washington State provides 5% of the total US domestic wine output, and production continues to grow in leaps and bounds. State wine grape acreage has doubled in this century, rising from 24,000 acres in 1999 to almost 50,000 acres in 2013. In 1999, then-WA Wine Commission Director Steve Burns announced that a new winery was opening its doors every 13 days in the state, and the growth rate has sustained: by 2013 the number of state wineries had jumped from 160 to over 850. 2014 was a record harvest—227,000 tons of fruit—but with the state adding an average of 2,500 acres of vines each year over the past decade, the record likely won’t last long.
