Evidence of successful wine business strategies: customer acquisition, value or retention?

Abstract

This presentation illustrates a series of successful wine businesses, which have managed to counter the downward trend impacting the global industry. How these businesses have been successful is explained through the planning and execution of strategies that focused on a clear and consistent aim in attracting new consumers. These cases add weight to the ehrenbergian position that for a business to be successful it must target new customers as a priority over alternative options like increasing value or improving customer retention. 

Preuve de stratégies commerciales réussies dans le secteur du vin : acquisition, valeur ou fidélisation des clients ?

Cette présentation montre une série d’entreprises viticoles, qui ont réussi à contrer la tendance à la baisse qui touche l’industrie mondiale. Le succès de ces entreprises s’explique par la planification et l’exécution de stratégies axées sur un objectif clair et cohérent consistant à attirer de nouveaux consommateurs. Ces cas ajoutent du poids à la position ehrenbergienne selon laquelle pour qu’une entreprise réussisse, elle doit cibler de nouveaux clients en priorité plutôt que des options alternatives telles que l’augmentation de la valeur ou l’amélioration de la fidélisation de la clientèle.

On quality assurance of winemaking components

This report examines product quality assurance issues arising when technological aids and food additives are utilized in winemaking.

Smoke tainted wine – what now?

The frequency of bushfires close to wine regions around the world has increased in the last two decades. The economic losses incurred when grapes and wines are discarded due to ‘smoke taint’ are substantial (i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars). Efforts to mitigate and ameliorate smoke taint are therefore crucial. Chardonnay, rosé and cabernet sauvignon wines made from grapes exposed to smoke during the 2020 wildfires in eastern Australia were subjected to various amelioration techniques: the addition of activated carbons, molecularly imprinted polymers (mips), and a proprietary resin (either directly, or following membrane filtration); spinning cone column (scc) distillation; and finally, transformation into vinegar.

Sensory study of potential kokumi compounds in wine 

Kokumi is a complex sensation perceived as enhanced palatability. Under the influence of kokumi substances, foods/beverages tastes become more flavorful with increased intensity, spread, continuity, richness, harmony, and punch which are the six related characteristics corresponding to the kokumi sensory concept (Yamamoto & Inui-Yamamoto 2023).

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

Trends already extended for more than 12 years show a decline in both consumption and international trade, particularly in volume. However, there are also positive signs in several categories of wine, segments and markets, as well as a better trend in terms of value. How are these trends affecting wine producers and distributors? Are they short or long term? do they mean radical and permanent changes to which a way of adaptation has to be found or are they just temporary changes that may only require some calm? How are companies adapting to these new trends? Which are their effects on wine regions?
