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.

Evaluation of sap flow and trunk diameter measurements in grapevines using time series decomposition

Grapevines are very sensitive to weather conditions. Excessively hot and dry periods trigger the activation of survival mechanisms, such as reduction of crop transpiration and the redistribution of water. Monitoring these mechanisms is, therefore, essential to better understand the grapevine water dynamics and maximize water-use efficiency.

Impact of monopolar and bipolar pulsed electric fields on the quality of Tinta Roriz wines

Pulsed electric fields (pef) technology holds significant promise for the agrifood industry, considering the capacity of inducing cell electroporation, due to the disruption of cellular membranes. Pef-induced permeabilization is dependent of the chosen treatment protocol (i.e. Pulse shape, electrical field strength, specific energy) and of the matrix’s characteristics (i.e. Cell radii and size, ph, electrical conductivity).

Biomarker-based phenotyping of grapevine (vitis spp.) resistance to plasmopara viticola reveals interactions between pyramided resistance loci

Grape downy mildew, caused by plasmopara viticola, is one of the main diseases affecting viticulture worldwide and its control usually relies on frequent sprays with agrochemicals. Grapevine varieties resistant to p. Viticola represent an effective solution to control downy mildew and reduce the environmental impact of viticulture. Loci of resistance to p. Viticola (Rpv) have been introgressed from wild vitis species and some of them, like Rpv1, Rpv3.1 and Rpv10, are currently the most utilized genetic resources in grape breeding.

Pesticide – Free viticulture: towards agroecological wine-producing socio-ecosystems

Can we cultivate grapevine without pesticides? This is a huge challenge for this emblematic crop, which is one of the largest users of plant protection products. Pesticides are mainly used to protect the vine against leaf diseases (powdery mildew, mildew, black-rot), even in organic farming, which uses copper in particular. What are the research avenues that can help eliminate pesticides today?

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.
