Trends and challenges in International Wine Trade. The need for new strategies for companies and regions.

Abstract

Over the past 12 years, both, consumption and international trade in volume, have been steadily declining. However, global wine exports managed to increase in value until 2022 with some categories, segments of the market and markets showing promising growth. However, a downturn in 2023, marked by a decrease in sales value, has raised concerns. This paper explores whether these shifts represent long-term structural changes or are simply short-term market fluctuations. How are these trends impacting wine producers, distributors, and regions? What strategies are companies using to adapt? Structural as well as temporary challenges affect both the wine industry. This paper will address these pressing questions, suggesting that a flexible regulatory framework, close follow-up of market trends and diversification of portfolios are essential for future resilience. Additionally, we identify three emerging wine industry segments, each requiring unique strategies: traditional wines, new wines, and reinvented wine products.

Tendenze e sfide del commercio internazionale del vino

Le tendenze in atto da oltre 12 anni mostrano un calo sia dei consumi che del commercio internazionale, soprattutto in termini di volume. Comunque, ci sono anche segnali positivi in diverse categorie di vino, segmenti e mercati, così come una tendenza migliore in termini di valore. In che modo queste tendenze influenzano i produttori e i distributori di vino? Sono a breve o a lungo termine? Significano cambiamenti radicali e permanenti ai quali è necessario trovare un modo per adattarsi o sono solo mode temporanee che potrebbero richiedere solo un po’ di calma? Come si stanno adattando le aziende a queste nuove tendenze? Quali sono i loro effetti sulle regioni vinicole? Tutti questi argomenti meritano un’analisi completa. Punti da sviluppare: 1. Segnali chiave sul consumo e sul commercio internazionale di vino: – consumo mondiale di vino – commercio mondiale in termini di volume e valore – effetti sui produttori di vino. – evoluzione dei mercati chiave – il ruolo dei “paesi distributori”. – commercio internazionale per origine – commercio internazionale per colore 2. Diverse strategie per le aziende. L’importanza del portafoglio 3. Strategie per le regioni. Come ci si può adattare ai cambiamenti dell’ambiente. Adattamento o resistenza 4. Tre linee d’azione strategiche fondamentali 5. Requisiti del quadro giuridico.

Tendencias y retos en el meracdo internacional del vino

Tendencias que ya se extienden durante mas de 12 años muestran una caída tanto del consumo mundial como del comercio en volumen. Sin embargo, también hay señales positivas en algunas categorías de vino, segmentos y mercados, así como mejores tendencias en términos de valor. ¿cómo están afectando estas tendencias a los productores y distribuidores de vino? ¿son de corto o largo plazo? ¿suponen cambios radicales y permanentes a los que debemos adaptarnos o cambios temporales que solo requieren de una cierta calma? ¿cómo se están adaptando las empresas a estos cambios? ¿cuáles son sus efectos en las regiones vitivinícolas? Todos estos asuntos merecen un análisis completo. Puntos a desarrollar: 1. Principales señales de los mera dos del vino * consumo mundial de vino * comercio internacional de vino en volumen y valor * efectos en los productores de vino * evolución de los principales mercados * el papel de los “países distribuidores” * comercio internacional por origen * comercio internacional por color 2. Diferentes estrategias para las empresas. La importancia de la cartera 3. Estrategias para las regiones. Cómo adaptarse a un entorno cambiante. Adaptación o resistencia. 4. Tres líneas estratégicas 5. Requisitos del entorno legal.

Quantitative and qualitative changes in terpenes during enzymatic maceration and fermentation in wine production: insights from Polish grape varieties

The production of fermented alcoholic beverages involves numerous processes in which microorganisms and enzymes convert components derived from the raw material into a wide range of compounds that affect the sensory characteristics of the resulting product. It is estimated that there may be as many as 800 to 1,000 such compounds in wine. These compounds belong to different chemical groups such as esters, alcohols, carboxylic acids, carbonyl compounds, polyphenols, sugars and many others.

Assessment of alternative sweetening methods for dealcoholized wine

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for non-alcoholic wine with an ethanol content of less than 0.5% v/v. The dealcoholization process can take place by various methods, such as vacuum distillation or membrane technologies like osmotic distillation. Compared to distillation, membrane systems often require multiple passes or a combination of multiple separation methods. Complete or almost complete removal of ethanol significantly changes the sensory characteristics of wine.

Crowdsourced the assessment of wine rating: professional wine competition rating vs vivino rating

We evaluate wine ratings by comparing data from two crowdsourcing platforms – Vivino, which aggregates the opinions of a large number of wine lovers, and Global Wine Medal Rating, which aggregates the scores from more than 1030 international wine competitions since 2020.

Plastic cover film on table grapes from field to cold storage

Plastic film covering is a technique largely used in viticulture to protect table grapes vines from adverse weather conditions and to reduce the negative effects of grapevine fungi disease. Plastic film composition affects solar radiation income inside the covering with effects on sunlight wavelengths in relation to different absorbance and reflectance. The interaction of selected light ranges with vines could influence grape ripening and yield and consequently influence shelf life.

Transforming the grapevine world through new breeding techniques

Climate change and environmental degradation are existential threats to europe and the world. One of the most important objectives is to reduce by 2030 the use and the risk of chemical pesticides and fertilisers, reducing nutrient losses and increasing organic farming. Grapevine (vitis spp.) is one of the major and most economically important fruit crops worldwide. It is characterised by high levels of genetic diversity, as result of natural genetic mutations, which are common in grapevines and further assisted by ongoing vegetative propagation.
