The comparison with a more careful and demanding consumption on the one hand and with a more international and aggressive competition on the other one pushes wine operators, especially in recent years, to cope with difficult and abnormal market conditions. As wine is an agri-food good with an undoubted evocative potential, it is considered essential in this regard to re-evaluate the study of wine consumer behavior, in order to raise her/him to a full knowledge of the wine product. This work, as a conceptual paper, focuses in particular on the perspective of the consumer as a taster, identifying in information, communication and knowledge of wine, a cultural and commercial path for the generation of a lasting economic value for wine operators, especially in the system of Made in Italy, at the same time making a wise use of the fundamental contribution of the country-of-origin concept. This perspective, furthermore, also allows to propose an innovative combination of wine marketing mix, which can be framed into information (product), evaluation (price), experience (distribution) and education (communication).
