    Bonny Doon Analysis

    Traditionally wine was seen as a “pretentious” product in U.S, but by the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, wine started to become a popular social drink for the masses. In addition, the market became more adventurous, demanding unusual “undervalued” wines instead of the traditional wines such as Chardonnay. The adventurousness was driven by “Generation X” and created a significant opportunity for wineries to meet this new unconventional demand. As the industry is still currently in its growth stage, the industry attractiveness is high. Wine is a relatively high margin product, and there is increasing demand domestically and internationally. Because of…

    Bonny Doon Case

    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.…

    Case 21: Freemark Abbey Winery

    Wine making is a process dependent upon many different variables. A lot of decisions are made which can affect the overall quality of the wine being produced. It is important that each decision is made to optimize the overall quality of the wine, thus optimizing the market price. In 1976, a business partner of Freemark Abbey Winery, William Jaeger, had to make an important decision that could affect the company’s bottom line. A storm was heading towards the vineyard. If the storm produced a heavy rain, it could potentially ruin the crops. However, if the storm produced a light rain, it could create a beneficial mold that would increase the value of the crops. A decision had to be made immediately to either harvest the Riesling grapes or leave them on the vines.…

    Wine Industry

    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.…
