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 Chilean wine industry has undergone numerous and profound transformations over the past 30 years – its quality revolution led by the complete technological renovation during the 1980s, the export boom of the 1990s, and the new terroir developments during the 2000 decade. This transformation has allowed a new generation of talented viticulturists and winemakers to capitalize on Chile’s viticultural paradise and to produce World Class Wines of unique character and personality. Chile is the world’s eighth largest wine producer and the fifth largest exporter, reaching a market share of 8 per cent by volume of the global international wine market at the close of 2010. However, and most importantly, Chile exports 70 per cent of its wine production, making it the world’s most globalized wine industry, with great flexibility, innovation and a long-term commitment to quality and service second to none. With 150 destination countries and 1.5 billion consumers per year, Chilean wines are positioned as the country’s most emblematic and best known world ambassador. Despite this undeniable success, Chilean wines face very high levels of competition in the different world markets from many appellations and brands, and its average prices are substantially lower than those of its competitors. As a consequence, the industry’s present profitability levels are low, and there is an urgent need to elevate the premium positioning and average prices to achieve a sustainable return in the long term. Making decisive progress toward positioning Chile as a world-class appellation for the production of premium and superior wines, gaining additional image and value is the only possible response to the competitive challenges the industry face today.…
