Marketing terroir wines

Abstract

The markets for quality wine are becoming more competitive as newer producers emerge and traditional producers improve their quality. The concept of terroir is one way to differenzi­ate wines in a competitive market and to enhance producer income. However, differentiation of wines is insufficient to assure profitability. If producers are to exploit the concept of ter­roir they will need to develop a sound market plan that identifies and evaluates target mar­kets, describes product attributes and how they meet consumer needs and wants, and estab­lishes appropriate distribution and promotion programs. Both producers and their associa­tions will need credible market research on which to base market decisions. Strategies that emphasize grabbing market share will not enlarge the wine market in the long term. A por­tion of promotional activities should be directed toward exanding all wine consumption.

EXPLORING THE METABOLIC AND PHENOTYPIC DIVERSITY OF INDIGENOUS YEASTS ISOLATED FROM GREEK WINE

Climate change leads to even more hostile and stressful for the wine microorganism conditions and consequently issues with fermentation rate progression and off-character formation are frequently observed. The objective of the current research was to classify a great collection of yeast isolates from Greek wines based on their technological properties with oenological interest. Towards this direction, fourteen spontaneously fermented wines from different regions of Greece were collected for further yeast typing. The yeast isolates were subjected in molecular analyses and identification at species level.
