Abstract
Purpose - This paper examines the relationship between feelings toward buying wine on
mobile phones and m-commerce website loyalty by examining a) the mediating role of sales
promotion and b) the moderating role of service attributes of the m-commerce websites.
Design/methodology/approach - The study comprised a questionnaire among 2754 responses
from six countries (France, Germany, Greece, South Africa, United States and Canada). Non-
probability criterion-based purposive sampling was used, screening for legal drinking age and
ownership of a smartphone.
Findings - Results show that sales promotion mediates the relationship between feelings
towards buying wine on mobile phones and m-commerce website loyalty
Practical implications - Wine producers and retailers should consider the use of sales
promotion to enhance sales and loyalty to m-commerce websites
