    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…

    The US has a rapidly growing wine market and is expected a 16% growth up until 2016. Moreover, 13% of all worldwide consumed wine is consumed by Americans, this is because 45% of all American adults drink wine. Evidence indicates that the Eastern part of America are more interested in imported wine rather than domestic wines and this gave perspective to start exports to the state of New York to begin with. As we are expanding to the U.S. we will have to go through a 3-tier system.…

    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.…
