Abstract

[eng] Do the registered designations of origin (Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée : AOCs) in the Bordeaux winegrowing districts function as independent markets ? On what basis do consumers substitute Bordeaux wines with one another ? We address these questions by studying the cointegration relationships that drive a price vector for seven Bordeaux AOCs. Empirical analysis shows that consumers do not switch between Bordeaux wines on the basis of objective criteria. On the contrary , they substitute wines on the basis of their perceived quality. Some of the substitutes display intrinsically divergent characteristics. The Bordeaux wine market is thus segmented by reputation. [fre] Les Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) du vignoble bordelais constituent-elles autant de marchés autonomes ? Sur quelles bases les consommateurs substituent-ils les vins de Bordeaux ? Nous répondons à ces questions en étudiant les relations de cointégration animant un vecteur de prix de sept appellations bordelaises. L’analyse empirique montre que ce n'est pas sur la base de critères objectifs que le consommateur substitue un vin à un autre ; à l’inverse , il substitue les vins sur la base de leur qualité perçue. Certains de ces substituts présentent des caractéristiques intrinsèques divergentes. Il en résulte que le marché des vins de Bordeaux est segmenté par la réputation.
