German term or phrase: genussorientiert
Same text as above (about körperbewusst) again I can understand what is meant in the German yet I don't a have a succinct description for 'genussorientiert'. Does any one have an idea for a translation for this term that puts it across in just a few words. The term is used to describe certain target groups that a company would like to reach. Thanks, JB
