    The wine making industry in California is fragmented, composing of 847 brick and mortar wineries. Approximately 88% of their production is sold domestically in the United States, which demonstrates the high level of demand for Californian wine in the U.S. Furthermore, demand for Californian wine outside of the U.S has risen “rapidly,” due to its “ripened” flavor. Historically and moving forward, the key success factor in the wine industry is the flavor of wines – or in other words, product quality.…

    The size of the wine market in the U.S., measured by tonnage, is estimated to be 2.5 million tons of crushed wine grapes in 1998. About half of the tonnages crushed are red wine grapes and the other half are white wine grapes. The best wineries are located in the Napa Valley and Sonoma region, whose wines receive high praises from critics. The per capita wine consumption in the U.S. is only about 2.02 gallons per adult as compared to 16.2 gallons in France and 15.8 gallons in Italy. Thus, demand for wines in the U.S. has huge potential for continued growth. At the same time, there is increasing demand for U.S.-made wines abroad.…

    Global Wine Wars

    The concept of wine-making was originally an art dominated by several European countries, mainly amongst the noble class, competing against one another for the highest quality wines. Traditionally set in their ways, from their methods of planting, to harvesting, to marketing channels and their consumers, the “Old World” wine-makers were unprepared for what was ahead of them as the “New World” growers joined in the struggle to appeal to the tastes of their consumers. As the New World began gaining ground, a rivalry arose between the New and Old World - the Old World set on its traditional ways which had been in practice for centuries, while the New World focused around maximization of crops and harvesting, as well as marketing to the changing consumer preferences - leaving the Old World in awe as the New World took over in sales and imports. With a shifting of palates and an economic recession which hit not only the consumer’s wallets, but also the grower’s vineyards, a continuous battle for leader in U.S. imports emerged as the preference for premium wines increased, leaving the U.S. out to dry with their high prices due to inherent domestic costs.…

    Yellow Tail’s rise to the top of the imported wine category has been driven by its drinkability, low price ($7/ bottle), and easygoing image. Although it was not the first low-priced Australian wine to enter the market, it has been the most successful in presenting a value proposition: Yellow Tail is the great tasting wine that is an exceptional value. Testimony to its quality is the fact that much of the brand’s growth has been fueled by repeat purchase.…

    The global wine industry is estimated to be in size of $130 billion to $180 billion in retail sales which is attributed in three types of wine: Table wine (alcohol level 14%) and sparkling where Table wine accounted for the major share of the market. The table wine market is further divided into five principal segments: jug or commodity, popular premium ($3-7 per bottle), super premium ($7 -14 per bottle), ultra and luxury. The consumptions of premium wine kept growing in US and other non-European wine-producing nations, i.e. UK. However, most of the continental European countries continue to keep high demand on inexpensive table wine. US paid $7.2 per bottle on average, which is higher than Western European consumers ($4.8 per bottle.).…

    The United States wine industry is a 12 billion dollar industry and is composed of 7,000 wineries and around 1,800 different companies. The three major companies within the industry are Constellation brands, E&J Gallo, and The Wine Group Inc. The industry has made its way through the economic crisis at a better rate than some of the other U.S industries however in order for them to continue to see any type of growth it is important that they acknowledge their issues and find ways in which they can rectify them. The majority of the issues among the industry are problems that cannot be directly controlled by individual wine companies. Therefore it is imperative that wineries find away to use these issues to their advantage, since they are impossible to just ignore. The four most crucial obstacles the industry is currently faced with are the economic state, the climate changes, the price of gas, and the CARE Act of 2010. All four of these obstacles affect the production of wine and as an end results affect the consumer. These obstacles cause the cost of wine production to increase and therefore wine companies have to increase the price at which they sell their wine to consumers in order to offset the extra money that was put in to the manufacturing of the good. The industry should also focus on their weaknesses amount the five forces, which include threat of substitutes, threat of entry, and threat of rivalry. If the industry can focus on lowering these threats, and concentrate on the value of their customers then they will be able to face the issues that they cannot control with a stronger hold on the market.…

    Purpose ± This research aims to examine Chinese consumers' wine consumption and purchasing behaviour. Design/methodology/approach ± The study, conducted during the Chinese New Year in early 2006, used in-depth interviews with 15 consumers in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China. Findings ± The results suggest that Chinese consume Chinese spirits for all occasions, yet consume red wine only for special occasions such as Chinese new year and other holidays. A key point for selling red wine to the Chinese is its positive image; drinking red wine is considered trendy and shows good taste. Another key point is consumer perceptions of red wine as healthier than Chinese spirits because wine contains less alcohol. Two other findings are that most Chinese consumers assume all wine is red wine and have little wine knowledge. Most respondents did not know of white wine or that Australia produces wine. Finally, China's culture of face value, mianzi, plays a key role in purchasing and consuming wine. Chinese tend to purchase inexpensive wine for private consumption and public occasions, yielding more mianzi in front of others. In some important occasions, consumers will purchase a foreign (French) red wine to impress their guests and obtain even more mianzi. In most situations, Chinese purchase and consume wine for perceived health and symbolic ± lucky or good face ± values. Research limitations/implications ± The small sample size is a limitation. Another limitation is that all the respondents lived in the urban area of Guangzhou, one of China's most developed cities. The findings do not generalize to China. Practical implications ± The findings suggest that wine is a symbolic product rather…
