Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c61815) has announced the addition of Northern Hemisphere Grape Supply And Wine Production (Selected Regions) -- Forecasts To 2011: 2007 Edition to their offering.
The wine industry within the Northern Hemisphere is faced with a host of challenges for 2007 and beyond. The foremost issue remains the current oversupply that affects the entire industry. All regions involved in the wine industry combined are producing millions of hectolitres of unwanted wine every year at the expense of the European taxpayer.
Other areas of concern include the changing consumer trends specifically for Pinot Noir and for dry white wines where the demand still outpaces supply, where there is enhanced competition, and increased demand for higher end wines.
There are hundreds of wine regions with differing challenges, but one broad issue still affects the majority - oversupply.
This 100-page just-drinks report concentrates on key wine areas within the Northern Hemisphere, namely:
US - California
France - Bordeaux
France - Champagne
France - Beaujolais
Italy
Spain
Germany
Port industry
The typical information detailed within each section includes:
-2006 harvest
-Supply and demand
-Productions trends and issues
-Pricing trends
-Use this report to answer the following questions:
What impact will the 2006 harvest have on the wine industry?
What role will the changing consumer trends have on the industry?
Chapter 1: Introduction - An overview of the report content.
Chapter 2: The European dimension - The wine-producing countries of the European Union (EU) turn out roughly 60% of the world's wine, but there's a problem: some of it is surplus to requirements, and is distilled, destroyed or turned into industrial alcohol and assorted other products every year.
Chapter 3: The US: California - The Californian wine industry has never been as competitive as in 2007 and the weak dollar gives it a huge advantage over other wine-producing countries. Sales in the US market have been rising but, these increases are focussed on the premium sector, leaving demand for wines priced at US$5 and below weak; for some growers that is enough to make them quit the industry.
Chapter 4: France - Bordeaux - The wine making region that can lay claim to producing the finest wines in the world, allowing to demand stratospheric prices for its top vintages. However, the production of everyday red wines are finding themselves uncompetitive amid the global wine glut.
Chapter 5: France - Champagne - With rising exports and a string of good quality vintages this region has an unrivalled global image - Champagne finds itself the envy of the French wine industry in 2007. Exports have risen more than 30% between 2001 and 2005 with domestic shipments at around 180m bottles per year.
Chapter 6: France - Beaujolais
The inimitable Gamay wines of the Beaujolais region are going through one of the toughest periods in their history. Most of the attention is focused on Beaujolais Nouveau, which accounts for roughly one-third of total production from the region. The region has failed to keep pace with the competitive global market.
Chapter 7: Italy - Until recently the world's largest wine producer now second to France. With over 600 varieties of indigenous grapes, Italy's size is matched with its sheer diversity. Italy can offer almost any style of wine demanded by the global market, however this is the country's strength and weakness as they are lacking coordination and focus.
Chapter 8: Spain - Classed as Europe's winemaking land of opportunity, Spain competes with France and Italy with potential to be the earth's biggest wine producer in terms of volume. Spain has a mix of established wine regions with many producers that are all providing innovative Spanish wines but with the number of larger producers and their long term plans not all can be successful.
Chapter 9: Germany - The recent changes in consumer trends have forced the German wine producers to develop red wine varieties alongside the well-known sweet or medium-sweet dry whites. Prices in Germany are rising fast but the increased plantings should stop them going through he roof in the coming years.
Chapter 10: Port - The production model of the port industry is showing signs of needing reform to cope with the changes in the global market place. Less Port is being produced from more vineyards due to increased planting areas and less sales with stock surplus. This has prompted a debate on the future of the Beneficio (license to grow port).
This just-drinks report will help you achieve a better understanding of the grape supply and wine production industry within the Northern Hemisphere.
