    Beringer Blass Executive Summary

    Sainsburys, Business Report

    The rivals of Sainsbury’s have recently turned up the heat on the store by increasing their like for like sales from last year. Reports suggest that both Waitrose and Morrisons have out stripped Sainsbury’s sales for the year, with 11.7% and 8.4% respectively (Brummer, Alex 2009) However in response to this Sainsbury’s announced that they made a pre-tax profit of £342m putting them 33% up on sales from last year from the 28weeks until 3rd October (BBC, 2009) These figures saw the new clothing range and electrical items out sell food by two and a half times. This could be explained by the opening of the 24hour stores across the country (Steiner, Rupert 2009).…

    Global Wine Wars

    The concept of wine-making was originally an art dominated by several European countries, mainly amongst the noble class, competing against one another for the highest quality wines. Traditionally set in their ways, from their methods of planting, to harvesting, to marketing channels and their consumers, the “Old World” wine-makers were unprepared for what was ahead of them as the “New World” growers joined in the struggle to appeal to the tastes of their consumers. As the New World began gaining ground, a rivalry arose between the New and Old World - the Old World set on its traditional ways which had been in practice for centuries, while the New World focused around maximization of crops and harvesting, as well as marketing to the changing consumer preferences - leaving the Old World in awe as the New World took over in sales and imports. With a shifting of palates and an economic recession which hit not only the consumer’s wallets, but also the grower’s vineyards, a continuous battle for leader in U.S. imports emerged as the preference for premium wines increased, leaving the U.S. out to dry with their high prices due to inherent domestic costs.…
