This document summarizes a study comparing the wine industries of Chile, Italy, and South Africa. It finds that while traditional theories of catching up do not fully explain New World wine producers' success, they seized opportunities from changes in global demand and supply. Chile and South Africa adopted market-driven approaches with investments in science, marketing, and efficient institutions. In contrast, Italy's industry was initially inert and remains fragmented among small producers. The study uses sectoral innovation systems analysis to examine the wine industries' market opportunities, knowledge development, actor networks, and institutions over time.
Closing Case The Growing Trade in Growing Grapes Wine iWilheminaRossi174
Closing Case: The Growing Trade in Growing Grapes
Wine is one of mankind’s oldest and most important industries. Archaeological evidence of wine
production dates back to 6000 B.C.E Hieroglypics from 3000 B.C.E. depict Egyptians enjoying celebratory
cups of wine. The Bible records Jesus’ first miracle, turning water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana.
Today, some 18.6 million acres of land are devoted to vineyards, which yield 26 billion liters of wine
annually. The EU produces about 55 percent of this output, with France, Italy, and Spain accounting for
the bulk of the EU’s production. The United States, Australia, China, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina
are the largest non-European producers.
Unti the 1980s, French vineyards were the dominant force in the global wine trade, with Italy, Spain, and
Germany trailing behind them. These Old-World producers benefitted from centuries of tradition and
their reputations for quality and sophistication. The mystique of French wine was in part attributable to
the belief by oenophiles (a word for wine experts) that terroir and the character of the grape itself
contributed to the creation of unique characteristics for each vineyard’s wine. (Terroir means “a sense
of place” and includes numerous factors that convey character to the wine, including soil chemistry,
topography, and the microclimate of an individual plot of land.) So critical is terroir to the French wine
industry that in the nineteenth century, French officials assessed the quality of the wine produced in
each French vineyard and established an elaborate schema for categorizing the wines according to their
location and quality – Grand cru, Premier cru, etc. Known today as the Appellation d’origine controlee
(AOC) (controlled designation of origin) system, effectively the French government provided a quality
assurance and consumer protection program for lovers of French wine. Under the AOC system, for
example, the only wines that can bear the label “Champagne” must be fermented from grapes grown in
the Champagne region of northeastern France. Grand cru champagne must originate from lands
specifically designated as such by the AOC system. The Italian and the German governments established
similar programs.
The Old World producers, although dominant, were not invulnerable to global competition, particularly
after the so-called “Judgment of Paris” in 1976, when a British wine merchant living in Paris organized a
blind taste-testing competition between French and Californian wines. To the surprise of nearly
everyone, the judges rated California wines as superior to those of French wines in the two contested
categories. (Bottle Shock, a 2008 movie starring Alan Rickman, dramatizes the events surrounding the
Judgment of Paris.) Nonetheless, French wines command a price premium in the export market,
averaging more than $6.00 a liter compared to only $3.00 for wines from Australia, ...

Catching up trajectories in the wine sector: Chile, Italy, South Africa
1. Catching up Trajectories in the Wine Sector:
A Comparative Study of Chile,
Italy and South Africa
Roberta Rabellotti
Semeq-Università del Piemonte Orientale - Italy
World Knowledge Forum, Seoul
13-15 October 2009
2. Some stylised facts
Ø Wine is an increasingly internationally traded good:
rapid growth of export volumes and values explained
by
Ø consumption falling in the traditional producing
countries, especially France and Italy;
Ø consumption expanding in non-producing
countries in Europe (UK, Netherlands, Sweden,…)
and Asia (Japan, and very recently Korea, China,
India);
Ø Emergence of New World producers: volume expansion
and quality upgrading;
Ø Old World producers facing serious challenges in an
incresingly competitive market.
4. The traditional theory of catching up
• Emergence of New World wine producers can be hardly
explained by conventional theories of catching up:
– Adoption and adaptation of technologies from
advanced economies;
– Relative speed along a fixed track;
– Niche strategies and market segmentation by followers;
• Windows of opportunities have been opened up by
relevant discontinuities on the demand and supply side;
• Process of technological and organizational modernisation
driven by newcomers.
5. The Sectoral Systems of Innovation
• Our analysis is based on the four constituent
dimensions of a sectoral system (Malerba,
2004; Malerba & Nelson, 2007; Malerba &
Mani, 2009):
– Market;
– Knowledge and technology;
– Key actors and networks;
– Institutions.
6. Market
Relevant discontinuities in wine consumption habits since the
late 1970s
a) Traditional wine countries
• Decline or stagnating consumption;
• Wine drinking as a “cultural experience”;
b) Emergent markets (Northern Europe, US, Australia, lately
Russia and China) – inexperienced consumers
• Increasing popularity of wine as a “beverage;”
• Preference for easy drinking and pleasant tasting varietal
wines (Sauvignon, Cabernet, etc.);
Ø Role of wine experts and magazines in changing
perception and reputation;
Quality is no longer the exclusive domain of
producers, it is increasingly the value
c) Distribution channels: perceived consolidation by the market
and large-scale retailing
easily identifiable top selling brands.
7. NW vs. OW response to market opportunity
New World:
Demand changes embraced & favoured by California and
Australia, followed by Chile, South Africa, Argentina,..,
through:
Ø Knowledge and technology:
Ø Investments in science;
Ø Access to foreign knowledge;
Ø Market-driven research to build up products
satisfying new international tastes;
Ø Market: Aggressive marketing strategies, branding,
large scale retailing;
Ø Institutions: Setting up of an efficient institutional
framework.
Old World: Initially, inertial response (strengthening the
concept of terroir and maintaining a producer-driven
approach).
8. Knowledge
Intense process of knowledge codification and formal investigation

9. Technology
NW: Market driven approach
- Research oriented towards responding to (and further
strengthening) the changes in demand
Ø Introduction of new grapes varieties;
Ø Reduction of the variability of output in order to obtain
wines with regular taste and quality.
- Large investments in human resources, marketing and
branding;
- Access to external sources of knowledge (external
consultants).
OW: Producer driven approach
- Strenghtening of traditional varieties;
- Process-related investments;
- In-house competences and local research networks
Ø context-specific and cumulative learning.
10. The importance of external knowledge
• Almost all the Chilean firms interviewed rely on
external consultants as agronomists or
oenologists (the flying winemakers);
• Piedmont producers rely exclusively on experts
from the same region and on internal
competences;
• Experimental activity: 85% of the Chilean and
67% of the South African firms do undertake this
activity in collaboration with some external
partners, while in Piedmont this happens only in
48% of the firms.
11. Network of research collaborations
between countries: 1992 – 1996
• Only European (France,
Germany, Italy and
Spain) and North-
American countries, with
the exception of Israel,
are involved in
international
collaborations;
• The network is fully
centred around the USA,
with which all the other
countries are connected
12. Network of research collaborations between
countries: 1997 – 2001
• The number of countries
involved increases
significantly from 7 in the
previous period to 20;
• The USA is still the
central player, being the
country with most
linkages;
• Among the new players,
there are Australia, some
Asian countries and some
other European countries,
13. Network of research collaborations between
countries: 2002 - 2006
• The network increases
its complexity with the
participation of 36
countries;
• Among the new
countries entering into
the international
research community by
the time considered
there are Argentina,
Chile and South Africa.

16. Institutions
• Following the early successful Australian
experience, a top-down planning
approach has been followed by South
Africa and more recently by Chile;
• Industry-level umbrella institutions (one
single organisation with different branches)
are created with the aim of co-ordinating
export oriented priorities and targets,
promoting and socialising a vision for the
industry at large;
• Italy: fragmentation and redundancy.
17. Concluding remarks and some recent
trends
• The wine industry represents an extremely interesting
case in point of technological renovation driven by
emerging countries that, following different trajectories,
have been moving the competitive game on new
playgrounds;
• Incumbents’ response: inertia and then awareness of the
new playground;
• Recently, the Old World has begun to respond through
strategies of diversification and experimentation for
upgrading. These strategies address the demand side
evolutions, mainly the diffusion of a gourmet culture, in
which wine drinking is perceived as contributing to a
richer cultural experience, and variety and specificity are
positive attributes;
• In this perspective, highly centralized R&D policies, such
as those implemented by New World countries, may
become increasingly inappropriate to tackle the
emerging pattern of diversified demand?
