Uses some type of technology to age inexpensive wines and make them more pleasant. Considering using an electromagnet with a specific magnetic field strength. The potential target customers are wine connoisseurs and individuals interested in fine wine.
Appeals to status.
Potential Meanings: The product or service provides physical, health, religious, and emotional sustenance; provides feelings of being needed or being listened to; supports artistic and creative needs; facilitates control over the environment; provides entertainment; supports feelings of status, superiority, and elitism; provides a sense of stewardship; supports feelings of closeness to the earth and being organic; provides a sense of altruism; supports feelings of adventure; supports gender needs; supports feelings of security and comfort; facilitates and assists in the completion of some work or home task; provides feelings of familial support; helps an individual or a community to learn and adapt; helps us to change location; provides an opportunity for communication and networking; has above-average intrinsic value to some or many people; provides for respect and recognition; and finally, the product or service is a source of satisfaction, happiness and hope.
Price: How much does it cost?
Unsure but will have two versions priced at $300 and $1,000 price level.

Quality: How well does the product or service conform to the product specifications? Does the product do what it says it is supposed to do in the user manual? Is it effective in performing its function?

Need to test the effectiveness of the technology in a research setting.

Reliability: Does the product or service perform as it is supposed to over its expected life? Is it prone to failure? Is it easily maintained?

Unsure. Plan on having a refrigerator function in the high-end version.

Ease-of-use: Is the product or service easy to use and can consumers learn to use it without much trouble?

Will have either knobs or a digital key pad to program the aging time.

Performance: Is the product or service faster, smaller, more convenient, greater capacity, better resolution, compatible, and adaptable? Which features, functions, and processes are unique or distinguishing?

We are optimistic that it will be faster than existing wine aging products. Will also have greater capacity than existing products.
