Executive Summary This report is written to evaluate the possibility of Vietnamese wine market. To support the report, various types of information and secondary data are collected. Finally, a business strategy will be proposed. To begin with, Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) is the second largest wine company in Australia operating all over the world. However, their main markets in developed countries are already saturated, therefore the firm may have to find a new market. The sales in Asian emerging markets have increased consistently and Vietnam also might be an attractive wine market. There are several reasons. For example, Vietnam has more than 90 million populations where majority of people are young generation with purchasing desire. Also, the country has been developing rapidly. In addition, their preference is shifting toward to Western style. To conclude, as has been mentioned, there are also certain positive possibilities in Vietnam. As a result, Vietnam is assessed as a beneficial market for the firm.

    Traditionally wine was seen as a “pretentious” product in U.S, but by the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, wine started to become a popular social drink for the masses. In addition, the market became more adventurous, demanding unusual “undervalued” wines instead of the traditional wines such as Chardonnay. The adventurousness was driven by “Generation X” and created a significant opportunity for wineries to meet this new unconventional demand. As the industry is still currently in its growth stage, the industry attractiveness is high. Wine is a relatively high margin product, and there is increasing demand domestically and internationally. Because of…

    The size of the wine market in the U.S., measured by tonnage, is estimated to be 2.5 million tons of crushed wine grapes in 1998. About half of the tonnages crushed are red wine grapes and the other half are white wine grapes. The best wineries are located in the Napa Valley and Sonoma region, whose wines receive high praises from critics. The per capita wine consumption in the U.S. is only about 2.02 gallons per adult as compared to 16.2 gallons in France and 15.8 gallons in Italy. Thus, demand for wines in the U.S. has huge potential for continued growth. At the same time, there is increasing demand for U.S.-made wines abroad.…

    Marketing Analysis: More Vino Ltd. is a wine retailer located in Trinidad and Tobago and is the newest local hot spot for food, drink, and entertainment. The Stone brothers, Christian and David, started More Vino Ltd. with the help of an investor and his partner, Arthur Greenway. Trinidad and Tobago is a hub for tourists to vacation all year round. The driving growth is mainly dependent on the tourism. With traditions that have lasted over 150 years, the island is a popular vacation spot for both tourists and natives alike. There is a cyclical demand for this product due to the face that it follows the market trend. The islands have seen heightened growth in tourism over the past decade and are known especially for their homemade rums and beers. Over the years, the wine market has grown to a worth of TT$48 million with growth anticipated for five years. This is where the Stone brothers saw an opportunity for business. More Vino Ltd. has been thriving due to their in house consumption as its main driving force for sales, but they also have a wholesale division that has been bringing in good business as well. Because of the demographics in the area, the brothers believe their growth in sales will increase even more with excellent service and unique entertainment that will drive out their competitors. With this expansion, More Vino Ltd. will see an increase in sales due to the fact that they offer a different atmosphere, one that is more focused on their target sales group, than their competition. Because majority of their sales is being driven by in house sales, focusing on championing that division will result in favorable outcomes. But with this expansion, the brothers foresee a 10 per cent to 15 percent increase in cost. They also plan on increasing their prices to match their competitors. Christian has…

    More Vino Ltd

    • 5 Pages

    More Vino LTD. was founded in 2005 intending to become the leading local wine distributor by bringing the best of the wine world to enthusiasts throughout the nation. They offer a vast selection of wines which come from eleven different countries including those that are under-represented in the local market. These countries include: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and U.S.A. More Vino’s original entry into market was the establishment of a dedicated liquor store to serve both retail and wholesale customers with exclusive brands and the widest variety of wines available in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The location of the company is in Trinidad, the larger and more populous of the country with a population of 1.3 million. In 2006, More Vino Distributors was launched adding a new concept into the local distribution and supply of alcoholic beverages. Its widest range of wines, spirits, beers, cigars are all at competitive pricing and door step delivery. Plus, its unique advanced service and its growing in popularity as an after-work destination for young professionals make its sales growth rapidly by 100.7% from 2006 to 2007. Thus, the company is willing to expand total seating capacity to 250 and to offer wine-tasting events, special promotions and a More Vino wine club to attract and retain a regular clientele in future. Even though the company has net loss through 2006 ($2,015,034) and 2007 ($987,122), but the net loss is reduced largely by the amount $1,027,912 in 2007. Meanwhile, the COGS decreased from 77.2% of sales (2006) to 65.1% of sales (2007). Therefore, it signals that More Vino is starting making a profit and will be successful in a long run.…

    Sydney Cove Winery is one of the finest wine distributors in the Australia and New Zealand region. Sydney Cove Winery is looking to expand and share their fine wine with the rest of the world, but global expansion is not easy. Before Sydney Cove Winery can begin to extend internationally they must consider the political, legal, and regulatory risks that their business will face while distributing their product. Because Sydney Cove Winery is an alcoholic beverage company they have to consider the political aspect of shipping alcohol to different countries. Politics play a major part in initiating a business. Sydney Cove Winery will have to conduct the necessary research regarding the political and legal systems for the countries the company desires to distribute. Every region, country, and state has different regulations that must be followed. When serving and selling alcohol there are various laws that merchants must abide by. The risk that Sydney Cove Winery is facing is the inability to sell and its product to various countries, otherwise suffocating maximum expansion. Furthermore, the company must obtain the appropriate licenses and certificates to distribute and manufacture alcohol in its home countries of Australia and New Zealand. For instance,“the production of fortified wine requires a permit from the Excise Business Line of the Australian Taxation Office” (Drug and Alcohol Servers Australia, 2009, p.…

    The total volume of the global wine market in 1998 was measured at 6.8 billion gallons, with 25% of the total volume accounting for wine that was purchased outside the country from which the wine was produced (California Wine Export Program, 2000). This represents an increase over the 1991-95 period, during which the export segment of the market averaged approximately 17% by volume. The increasing trend for the export market since 1995 is due primarily to a change in the strategic priority that wine producing countries are placing on exporting as a method for growth. Historically, the market for wine was primarily one of local production and consumption. That paradigm has changed in the last few decades as a few of the more established wine drinking countries have seen their per capita consumption stagnate or decline (Table 3). At the same time, several wine producing countries around the world have begun to make an impact on the export market in an attempt to expand their industries beyond their limited local markets. The result of this shift in market focus for some of the older wine producing countries plus the rise of new wine producing countries around the world has caused an increase in the competitive nature of the…
