  • The Effect of Global Warming on the Napa Valley, California Wine Economy Essay

    ...the Napa Valley, California Wine Economy Global warming will have a negative effect on the Napa Valley, California wine economy. This will be caused primarily by the gradual increase in seasonal temperatures and the resulting longer and drier growing seasons. California revenue directly related to the Napa Valley wine industry is $16.5 billion a year (1). With the United States ranking fourth in world wine grape production with over 80% of these grapes coming from California (1). Over the last half century, in the main wine producing regions of California, Oregon and Washington, the average year round temperatures have increased by 5 degrees Fahrenheit (2). It is generally accepted by all climatologists that the increase in temperature is attributed to human-caused greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The release of these gases into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels has been blamed for the temperature increases being seen world wide (3). There is little doubt in the scientific community that this huge economy, based on grape growing, will be affected by this slow but steady climate change. However, how this region will be affected is a matter of debate. A hot year is normally associated with a boom year, offering a high yield of quality grapes for growers (1). However too much of a good thing can be bad. By the...

Amount Decision Variable Petite Sirah Sauvignon Blanc Total Wine Bottles to sell (year 1) 4,469 6,704 11,173 Wine Bottles to sell (year 2) 62,457 26,767 89,225 Spend on Grapes (year 1) $ 3,575.42 $ 4,692.74 $ 8,268.16 Spend on Grapes (year 2) $ 46,842.97 $ 22,752.30 $ 69,595.27 Spend on Advertisement (year 1) $ 893.85 $ 837.99 $ 1,731.84 Spend on Advertisement (year 2) $ 10,409.55 $ 2,676.74 $ 13,086.29 General strategy during year 1 would be to focus on selling Sauvignon Blanc as it requires lower investment due to low grape cost and advertisement cost; but maintain the minimum sales requirement of Petite Sirah of 40% or 4,469 bottles. However on year 2, the Sauvignon Blanc’s grape cost increases, which ultimately exceeds that of Petit Sirah. Thus, with limited budget, George should focus on selling Petite Sirah and maintain the maximum sales of 70% or 62,457 bottles. Thus, the total profit at the end of year 2 would be: $ 692,644.59 *Please refer to the excel file, “(Q1)” sheet, for detail calculation. Q2.

  • Essay on Mondavi Wines Competitive Threats

    ...face and how is it addressing them? High quality premium wines produced by France, Italy, Spain, Chile and Argentina. In the past years, Demand increased for premium wines, while consumption of inexpensive, lower quality wine had fallen. As a result of changes in consumption patterns, Europe had created a great deal of excess capacity, while wineries of the new world (South America) continued to increase vineyard acreage in response to strong demand for high quality wines. The size of the global wine industry was estimated by 155 billion dollars (approximately), where Europe and South America dominated global consumption of wine with a market share of 70%. Mondavi addresses this issue by leading the production of premium table wines in the US instead. This market participated with 11% of total world consumption representing 17 billion dollars. Analysts expected demand for premium wines to grow at 8% to 10% per annum. Thus, Mondavi focused 90% of its sales in the US through 15 top retailers and 10% to the rest of the world through exporters. Leverage Risks and Capital requirements The premium wine industry is a capital intensive business. Historically, Tim Mondavi and his team had financed its operations and capital spending principally through borrowings, as well as through internally generated funds. They owned...

  • Robert Mondavi and the Wine industry Essay

    ...The wine industry is very much global, and is traditionaly rooted in typical variety coming from distincts regions of the world : California Napa Valley, the French regions of Burgundy and Beaujolais, fine Italian wines. Wine is very much tied to the winery it comes from in both brand and regional recognition. The global supply chain for the wine industry can take on several forms depending on where the wine is produced, who grows the grapes, where the wine is sold, and how it gets there. Within the United States, most wine production is controlled by large companies who produce many of their own brands of wine, often owing many wineries in California and even abroad. While the dominants brands do shift, the strong companies stays at the top. Recently in the industry there has been a movement toward consolidation, as the large companys on top buy up smaller wineries and add them to their collection. International trade in wine has only expanded in recent years. While there is always a tension between the old-world and the new-world styles of winemaking, there are wineries around the world who employ both. Generally, the larger producers use more modern technology, and smaller, often family owned wineries still use time honored traditional equipment and methodologies. Robert Mondavi is a leading producer of premium...

    ...My Unforgettable Trip to California Mirna El Hadi American Intercontinental University English 106 Dr. Rebecca Coleman January 12, 2013 “My Unforgettable Trip to California” This past April, my friend and I took a five-day trip to California, where we visited San Francisco and the Napa Valley wine country. We flew out on a Friday morning and stayed in the Golden State until Wednesday afternoon. During our visit, we saw quite a bit of gorgeous scenery, ate some scrumptious food, and drank some tasty wine. All in all, it was a fun, relaxing, and memorable vacation. But the reason the getaway was truly memorable is because I lucky to spend such an amazing time where I got to enjoy an awesome weather visit some unforgettable places, and best of all, try new kinds of food, which is my favorite. “Cool Weather for a Vacation Pleasure” When it comes to San Francisco’s weather, all I can say is “Gorgeous.” I mean that many great aspects of our vacation that were beyond our control just happened to go in our favor.

The city has a reputation for being foggy, chilly, and windy, so we were fortunate to experience the lovely weather while we were there. In addition, my friend and I went to Pier 51, which is “home” to...

  • Essay on Robert Mondavi and the Wine Industry

    ...Oakville, California. Robert Mondavi started the business after he separated from his brother, with whom he had run a winery until then. Only three years later, the Los Angeles Times named Mondavi's Cabernet Sauvignon 1969 as the best wine produced in California. The Mondavi Winery focuses on three main strategies: * produce wine traditionally * be innovative * educate US costumers concerning wine culture TRADITION Concerning wine making Robert Mondavi is "old fashioned", he refuses to adapt modern practices to "design" wines, like adding artificial flavours. He prefers to produce wine the traditional way like most of the European wineries. That means for example no additional ingredients and using expensive oak barrels for aging premium wine. INNOVATION On the other hand the Mondavi Winery introduced many new technologies to the Californian wine industry. For instance beginning in 1993 the company cooperated with NASA on a project to apply remote-sensing and digital-mapping technologies via satellite to enhance vineyard management. WINE CULTURE "People who enjoy food, art, music also enjoy fine wines, and they enjoy them more together....Wine is more than a drink. It's a culture." This statement from Robert Mondavi shows clearly the importance of the wine culture for...
