21. Reasons for increasing modern trade retail?

In the above questioner I asked retailer the reason for increase in the modern trade
retail and they answered few reasons:-

• The liquor sold there is sold at the price lesser than the liquor sold at any
standalone retail.

• Offers are available at the modern trade retail shop but no such offers are
available at the standalone retail. The offers like free merchandise, etc.

• People like the surroundings and feel free to go there.

• The place is clean and has a huge variety of liquor, wines, beer, etc.

In the above questioner I asked retailers that on which basis the wine is bought by
the customer than they answered the brand name option from the 2 options given
to him which were brand name or on the grape varietal. So its very well known that
people who buy wine are concerned about the brand name of the wine which they
are buying and are not much worried about the grape varietal.
