OVERVIEW
California Wine Institute is an association representing over 1,000 wineries
and wine-related businesses all over California. They try to have an impact on public
policy to facilitate an environment that allows their members to produce wine and
for consumers to consume and enjoy wine. (“About”) They are a huge driver of
California’s economic growth through being leaders in sustainable wine growing,
heavy international marketing of California’s wines as well as collaborating with
California’s tourism board, Visit California to boost out-of-state tourism though
showing off the state’s myriad of food and wine pairing options. (“About”) They
currently have an issue that while increasing brand recognition for California wines,
they would like to stimulate sales of mid-range bottles (from $10-$25).
Communications goals include showcasing how unique California wines are in
relation to wines from other parts of the world, making it known that there are a
diverse array of wines and food pairing options that stem from wines produced in
California, and promoting awareness that California wines (specifically of the mid-
range variety) need to be a staple for many fun events in anyone’s life who is of legal
drinking age.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
 California Wine Institute has hundreds of mid-range wines to choose from
 It has been said that 2014 will be a bountiful year for mid-range wines. Wine
juice intended for $30 bottles of wine are being used in $15 bottles of wine.
Farida Waquar

JOUR 536
Because of this, mid-range wines will have more choice and selection (“2014:
A Good Year”)
 California makes 90% of all U.S. wine, and is the 4th largest producer after
France, Italy and Spain (“CA Stat Profile”)
 3 of every 5 bottles sold in the U.S. is a California wine, and California has a
57% market share in the U.S. (“CA Stat Profile”)
 Despite the California water drought, there is no shortage of wine production
(“Price Becoming”)
Weaknesses
 Wines priced over $40 – and especially over $69 – are in short supply (“2014:
A Good Year”)
Opportunities
 There has been an upward trend in wine consumption in the past few
decades in the U.S. (“Wine Consumption”)
 Young drinkers between the ages of 21-35 (Millennials) are becoming the
fast growing customers of the wine industry and can afford mid-range wines
with their entry- to mid- level salaries (Hsu 1)
 According to John Gillespie, Wine Market Council's president, "The take-away
is that while baby boomers are still technically our best customers,
Millennials as a group … are the single most dynamic target for wine
marketers.” (Hsu 1) There are many media touchpoints to reach Millennials.

JOUR 536
 Wine drinkers are moving up to more expensive wines on their own, causing
growth for mid-range wines (“Price Becoming”)
 The majority of wine purchasers buy mid-range or low-range wine. (“Who
Buys Wine”)
 Luxury wines and those priced between $10-18 are slated to see the greatest
growth in demand during 2014. (“Wine Report”)
Threats
 There are many competitive wine businesses also using social media and
wine deals to promote themselves
 Millennials are consuming more foreign wines instead of domestic wines
(“2014: A Good Year”)
 2013 was a "good but not great" year for wine sales (“2014: A Good Year”)
 Budget wines are slowing in growth to alcoholic drinks like craft beers,
flavored spirits and ciders (“Price Becoming”)
Strategic Implications:
 There is going to be an abundance of high quality mid-range wines on the
market in 2014, many of which California Wine Institute already supports,.
Consumers are slated to have high demand for these mid-range wines in
2014. Most wine drinkers already buy low-to mid-range wines and budget
shoppers are starting to shell out a few extra dollars for mid-range wines.
Also, despite the market demand for mid-range wines and California’s
Farida Waquar
7/7/2014
JOUR 536
position as the market leader in domestic wine, the California Wine Institute
hasn’t done a good enough job promoting to their target demographic and
will need to work especially hard to market to Millennials (a subset with lots
of potential to be marketed to) who seem to favor international wines over
domestic.

COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY
The cells highlighted in yellow represent the key target audiences we wish to
promote the mid-range wines to in hopes that their sales and awareness will

increase. Point-of-purchase locations such as bars and restaurants serving our
wines as well as retail locations such as grocery stores, drug stores, liquor stores
and wine shops are one group we hope to spread awareness to. The others are male
and female wine drinkers 21+ both of whom are either experienced or novice wine
drinkers (those less familiar with wine). We will focus our efforts both on
Millennials and Generation X demographics. We are focusing on Generation X
because, “Millennials still buy a very small amount of wine compared to baby
boomers and the oft-ignored Generation X, which spends a higher proportion of its
income on wine than any other generation.” (“2014: A Good Year”) Also, although
Millennials don’t currently purchase as much wine as the older generations, many
Baby Boomer wine drinkers are trying to cut back, according to research group,
IBISWorld. (Hsu 1) According to the Wine Market Council, “Young drinkers are
enthusiastic wine students having been more exposed to wine at an earlier age than
their parents. More than half are boosting their wine consumption.” (Hsu 1) These
“young drinkers” are the fastest growing consumers (“Wine Riot”) at 70 million
strong and already show potential as a good target market as they are interested in
the craft beer craze as well. (Hsu 1) According to John Gillespie, Wine Market
Council's president, "The take-away is that while baby boomers are still technically
our best customers, Millennials as a group … are the single most dynamic target for
wine marketers.” (Hsu 1) Millennials have many decades ahead of their lives to be
long-time wine drinkers and be marketed to by wineries. Generation X also still
have a few decades left to be marketed to. Also currently, Millennials have been
starting their wine exploration by drinking foreign wines, and a need has been met
Farida Waquar

JOUR 536
for the California wine industry to create a nationwide rebranded marketing effort
to lure this group in. (“2014: A Good Year”)
For our communication strategy, the females (experienced and novice) will
have the same media outlets to be targeted from. These include female-centric TV
show segments, print magazines and online blogs. From a social media standpoint,
we will also use Pinterest but not on men our male audiences, as 70% of females use
Pinterest. (“The 1 Big”) We’d emphasize more about fun ideas of how wine can be
fun and incorporated into parties and social gatherings. For the experienced female
drinkers, we’d emphasize how you can create a twist-on-the-classic wine drink by
offering tips on how to make sangria, wine sparklers etc. for fun, themed parties.
For the novice female drinkers, the messaging is more about wine basics. These can
include, what is the difference between red/white, types of variations of wine within
each type, how to pick a bottle, types of wine glasses, etc.
For males (both experienced and novice) the emphasis will be more on how
wine can be similar to their existing drinking repertoire that typically contains
whiskey and beer. Since many males tend to drink wine solely on dates or on
occasions with their significant others, much of the communication will be about the
best way to incorporate wine into their romantic date or acquiring knowledge to
impress their date. For the experienced drinkers, communication will be more
about advanced knowledge of wines, whereas for the novice drinkers,
communication will be about learning the basics such as, how to pick out a bottle of
wine, what the best way is to taste wine, good food pairings with meats such as
seafood, etc.
Farida Waquar

JOUR 536
There will also be a theme of incorporating drinking wine with California
travel, which is fitting since the California Wine Institute already has a partnership
with Visit California. We will promote wineries up and down the California coastline
at destinations that tourists will plan on visiting. In addition, during our
communication, we will mostly show examples of how our mid-range wines can be
used in recipes like sangria and wine spritzers and when describing the variations
of red and white wines, offer flavor profiles utilizing examples of our mid-range
wines. Because we are trying to target potential buyers of mid-range wines, we will
not use niche wine blogs or publications in our communication efforts, as “Only 11
percent of non-high-end buyers read wine blogs.” (“Who Buys Wine”)

  • 1. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 OVERVIEW California Wine Institute is an association representing over 1,000 wineries and wine-related businesses all over California. They try to have an impact on public policy to facilitate an environment that allows their members to produce wine and for consumers to consume and enjoy wine. (“About”) They are a huge driver of California’s economic growth through being leaders in sustainable wine growing, heavy international marketing of California’s wines as well as collaborating with California’s tourism board, Visit California to boost out-of-state tourism though showing off the state’s myriad of food and wine pairing options. (“About”) They currently have an issue that while increasing brand recognition for California wines, they would like to stimulate sales of mid-range bottles (from $10-$25). Communications goals include showcasing how unique California wines are in relation to wines from other parts of the world, making it known that there are a diverse array of wines and food pairing options that stem from wines produced in California, and promoting awareness that California wines (specifically of the mid- range variety) need to be a staple for many fun events in anyone’s life who is of legal drinking age. SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths  California Wine Institute has hundreds of mid-range wines to choose from  It has been said that 2014 will be a bountiful year for mid-range wines. Wine juice intended for $30 bottles of wine are being used in $15 bottles of wine.
  • 2. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 Because of this, mid-range wines will have more choice and selection (“2014: A Good Year”)  California makes 90% of all U.S. wine, and is the 4th largest producer after France, Italy and Spain (“CA Stat Profile”)  3 of every 5 bottles sold in the U.S. is a California wine, and California has a 57% market share in the U.S. (“CA Stat Profile”)  Despite the California water drought, there is no shortage of wine production (“Price Becoming”) Weaknesses  Wines priced over $40 – and especially over $69 – are in short supply (“2014: A Good Year”) Opportunities  There has been an upward trend in wine consumption in the past few decades in the U.S. (“Wine Consumption”)  Young drinkers between the ages of 21-35 (Millennials) are becoming the fast growing customers of the wine industry and can afford mid-range wines with their entry- to mid- level salaries (Hsu 1)  According to John Gillespie, Wine Market Council's president, "The take-away is that while baby boomers are still technically our best customers, Millennials as a group … are the single most dynamic target for wine marketers.” (Hsu 1) There are many media touchpoints to reach Millennials.
  • 3. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536  Wine drinkers are moving up to more expensive wines on their own, causing growth for mid-range wines (“Price Becoming”)  The majority of wine purchasers buy mid-range or low-range wine. (“Who Buys Wine”)  Luxury wines and those priced between $10-18 are slated to see the greatest growth in demand during 2014. (“Wine Report”) Threats  There are many competitive wine businesses also using social media and wine deals to promote themselves  Millennials are consuming more foreign wines instead of domestic wines (“2014: A Good Year”)  2013 was a "good but not great" year for wine sales (“2014: A Good Year”)  Budget wines are slowing in growth to alcoholic drinks like craft beers, flavored spirits and ciders (“Price Becoming”) Strategic Implications:  There is going to be an abundance of high quality mid-range wines on the market in 2014, many of which California Wine Institute already supports,. Consumers are slated to have high demand for these mid-range wines in 2014. Most wine drinkers already buy low-to mid-range wines and budget shoppers are starting to shell out a few extra dollars for mid-range wines. Also, despite the market demand for mid-range wines and California’s
  • 4. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 position as the market leader in domestic wine, the California Wine Institute hasn’t done a good enough job promoting to their target demographic and will need to work especially hard to market to Millennials (a subset with lots of potential to be marketed to) who seem to favor international wines over domestic.

  • 5. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 increase. Point-of-purchase locations such as bars and restaurants serving our wines as well as retail locations such as grocery stores, drug stores, liquor stores and wine shops are one group we hope to spread awareness to. The others are male and female wine drinkers 21+ both of whom are either experienced or novice wine drinkers (those less familiar with wine). We will focus our efforts both on Millennials and Generation X demographics. We are focusing on Generation X because, “Millennials still buy a very small amount of wine compared to baby boomers and the oft-ignored Generation X, which spends a higher proportion of its income on wine than any other generation.” (“2014: A Good Year”) Also, although Millennials don’t currently purchase as much wine as the older generations, many Baby Boomer wine drinkers are trying to cut back, according to research group, IBISWorld. (Hsu 1) According to the Wine Market Council, “Young drinkers are enthusiastic wine students having been more exposed to wine at an earlier age than their parents. More than half are boosting their wine consumption.” (Hsu 1) These “young drinkers” are the fastest growing consumers (“Wine Riot”) at 70 million strong and already show potential as a good target market as they are interested in the craft beer craze as well. (Hsu 1) According to John Gillespie, Wine Market Council's president, "The take-away is that while baby boomers are still technically our best customers, Millennials as a group … are the single most dynamic target for wine marketers.” (Hsu 1) Millennials have many decades ahead of their lives to be long-time wine drinkers and be marketed to by wineries. Generation X also still have a few decades left to be marketed to. Also currently, Millennials have been starting their wine exploration by drinking foreign wines, and a need has been met
  • 6. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 for the California wine industry to create a nationwide rebranded marketing effort to lure this group in. (“2014: A Good Year”) For our communication strategy, the females (experienced and novice) will have the same media outlets to be targeted from. These include female-centric TV show segments, print magazines and online blogs. From a social media standpoint, we will also use Pinterest but not on men our male audiences, as 70% of females use Pinterest. (“The 1 Big”) We’d emphasize more about fun ideas of how wine can be fun and incorporated into parties and social gatherings. For the experienced female drinkers, we’d emphasize how you can create a twist-on-the-classic wine drink by offering tips on how to make sangria, wine sparklers etc. for fun, themed parties. For the novice female drinkers, the messaging is more about wine basics. These can include, what is the difference between red/white, types of variations of wine within each type, how to pick a bottle, types of wine glasses, etc. For males (both experienced and novice) the emphasis will be more on how wine can be similar to their existing drinking repertoire that typically contains whiskey and beer. Since many males tend to drink wine solely on dates or on occasions with their significant others, much of the communication will be about the best way to incorporate wine into their romantic date or acquiring knowledge to impress their date. For the experienced drinkers, communication will be more about advanced knowledge of wines, whereas for the novice drinkers, communication will be about learning the basics such as, how to pick out a bottle of wine, what the best way is to taste wine, good food pairings with meats such as seafood, etc.
  • 7. Farida Waquar 7/7/2014 JOUR 536 There will also be a theme of incorporating drinking wine with California travel, which is fitting since the California Wine Institute already has a partnership with Visit California. We will promote wineries up and down the California coastline at destinations that tourists will plan on visiting. In addition, during our communication, we will mostly show examples of how our mid-range wines can be used in recipes like sangria and wine spritzers and when describing the variations of red and white wines, offer flavor profiles utilizing examples of our mid-range wines. Because we are trying to target potential buyers of mid-range wines, we will not use niche wine blogs or publications in our communication efforts, as “Only 11 percent of non-high-end buyers read wine blogs.” (“Who Buys Wine”)
