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.

Evidencia de estrategias comerciales exitosas del vino: ¿adquisición, valor o retención de clientes?

Esta presentación ilustra una serie de negocios vitivinícolas exitosos, que han logrado contrarrestar la tendencia a la baja que afecta a la industria global. El éxito de estos negocios se explica a través de la planificación y ejecución de estrategias que se centraron en un objetivo claro y consistente de atraer nuevos consumidores. Estos casos añaden peso a la posición de ehrenberg de que para que una empresa tenga éxito debe dirigirse a nuevos clientes como prioridad sobre opciones alternativas como aumentar el valor o mejorar la retención de clientes.

Yield characteristics and environmental effects of plastic covers on table grape with relation to chemical, physical, radiometric and satellite analyses

Climate change poses a significant challenge for global viticulture, with growing evidence of its negative impact on thermal and hydric regimes, both of which are essential for the development of table grapes.

Ceramic imprint in wine: influence of hydraulic ratio on ceramic dissolution and wine pH in amphorae systems

This interaction is primarily due to an acidic attack on the ceramic by the wine. It results in (1) the dissolution of the ceramic into the wine and the release of a wide variety of elements; and (2) an increase of the wine pH. The extent of these effects depends on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the ceramic, as well as the hydraulic ratio of the ceramic-wine system (the term hydraulic ratio (ρ) defines here the volume of wine over the surface area of the ceramic in contact with the wine).

An innovative 21st century frost alert system for an age-old viticulture challenge

Damage during the budbreak period due to spring season frosts remains one of the most significant weather-related challenges to viticulture around the world. For example, in 2021, €2bn of estimated damage was reported in france while >50% of vineyards were badly affected in the UK in 2017.

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.

The FEM grapevine crossbreeding program for resistance to the main ampelopathies: towards climate-resilient varieties

The technique of crossing, whether free or controlled, has always been a source of variability allowing the selection of new varieties with improved fitness.
