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.

Impact assessment of the reverse osmosis technique in wine alcohol management

Wine authenticity and composition can be influenced by a range of membrane separation processes as reverse osmosis. In the context of climate change, the natural trend is to obtain wines with higher alcoholic concentration when classical winemaking methods are employed, and this may induce alteration of typicity of wines by masking the olfactory and taste properties. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of reverse osmosis techniques used for decrease of ethanol content on the stable isotopic ratios as markers for wine authenticity characteristics.

Chitosan from mushroom by-products: sustainable extraction process and winemaking application

Chitosan is a biopolymer industrially obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, after cellulose. It is extracted from various terrestrial and marine resources, including insects, grasshoppers, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, squids, and fungi. chitosan has a polycationic character due to the free amine groups along its chemical backbone, and depending on its deacetylation degree (DD) and molecular weight (MW), it shows variable properties that differ from those of other natural polysaccharides.

Water recharge before budbreak and/or deficit irrigation during summer: agronomic effects on cv. Tempranillo in the D.O. Ribera del Duero

The availability of water in the soil and the water status of the vineyard are proving to be determining factors for crop management in the current context of climatic variation

What drives Indications of Geographical Origin protection and governance mechanisms in the U.S. and European contexts? A contribution of the social sciences

There are fundamentally two different ways in which indications of geographical origin (igos) can be protected. The us approach favors the pre-existing trademark system through collective marks (cms), while the eu approach favors a maximalist approach via a sui generis system which promotes appellations of origin (aos). A consensus however emerges regarding the fundamental protection of origin against misleading, confusing and dilutive uses. Previous literature discusses these competing igo logics from historical, legal and international trade perspectives. In this paper, we depart from the field of social sciences, in particular from recent advancements in the well-established literature on proximities, in order to provide a reflection on the different logics underpinning the aos and cms systems.

Automated red microvinification (1kg) adapted to the needs of varietal innovation

The creation of disease-resistant varieties adapted to climate change is a key challenge for the future of the wine industry. At present, the selection of these new varieties is essentially based on screening for genetic markers of resistance and agronomic criteria, due to the small number of vines available per genotype. Integrating screening for oenological criteria into the early stages of selection would speed up this process.
