How come the old wine
industries enter the US
market?
Analysis
OLD WINES
•   The New World nations has the distribution channel of wine in
    Europe, because they are able to innovate the value chain. This makes
    the local producer to distribute their products with the New World
    distribution.
•   The local wines are losing their customers, because the Old World could
    not understand their customer and they are not good at marketing.


               NEW WORLD
               • In Australia, overproduction damaged the price, and in US the
                 cost is very high. Those things could impact on unstable wine
                 production.
               • Many factors bring the demand decrease, such as substitute
                 products, the government law, and the health issues. Also the
                 New World producers need to fight against the Old World
                 producers to keep their market.
Distribution
 The 3 main channels for retailing wine are:
 • Supermarkets - high volume, mainstream
    brands, convenience and competitive pricing
 • High Street - diverse selection of wines and a
    different category mix
 • Independent Specialists – more involved
    experience, exclusive or limited release product
    offering.
            The Old World wines could not compete on the
            supermarkets and high streets because the retailer
            need a fast-moving and famous brand to increase
            the sales, which was dominated by the New World
            wines.
            Also the Old World hampered by the lack of
            customer knowledge and marketing skills.

Substitute Products
Analysis
• As US, Australia, and many
  other      wine    producers
  compete with substitution
  product, the old world wine
  producers better get a higher
  target market to avoid
  directly competing with
  substitution products

Editor's Notes

  • #16 Rituals in a Culture:In the old world, the consumption of wine only to noblemen who could afford expensive wine prices. Nowadays, the development of culture becomes more modern, everyone joined in accordance with the level of wine consumption and economic needs. For example:Family rituals, in the family there are ritual often done, such as mealtimes, mothers day, ect. In this event the use of wine consumption at this time began to change, using wines with low levels.Ritual Gift giving, in some countries there is ritual. One of the gift of choice was wine. The selection of wine is definitely adjusted to motivation, interests, economic levels, and the moment.Social class and life style: Almost every society can be viewed in terms of social class based on the characteristics appropriate to the culture.social class and life style greatly affects consumer behavior of its members. members of the same social class will tend to have values​​, beliefs and behavior of the same. some things that could be a factor classification of social status include: occupation, source of income, associations with others, the level of influence.For example :In the old world, only people with the social status of upper class who could enjoy the wine because the distribution process is costly. Nowadays, every class society could choose the wine they want, according to their abilities, because the development of wine industry that has created a variety of quality wines.
