Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities for the Australian wine business as it attempts to increase the amount of red wine sold to Hong Kong. The paper explores the challenges of marketing and selling internationally.
From the Paper
"Grape growing and wine production in Australia date back to the arrival of European settlers over ? years ago. However it is probably true to say that it is only in recent decades that the rest of the world has taken much notice of Australia's wines. The Australian wine industry has undergone a significant expansion in a relatively short period. According to Ronin Weigand, a decade ago very few restaurants listed Australian wines. That situation has changed dramatically."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in pre-industrial cultures, dating back to very ancient times and before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, the wine was far more practical than mere grape juice, simply because grape juice spoiled by itself if left in the open or unrefrigerated. The writer points out that it was easier to keep and store wine because after it was made, it did not spoil as much as compared to grape juice. The writer discusses that the overall character or taste of various types of wine can be determined by making and storing the wine in different types of containers. As to the types of fermentation processes which truly affect the taste of various wines, the writer notes that some include barrel fermentation, carbonic maceration, rose wine-making, fermentation in a bottle, malolactic fermentation and secondary fermentation.
From the Paper
"As it applies to wine, fermentation is the process which converts sugar to ethanol (i.e., ethanol alcohol) and carbon dioxide effected by the anaerobic, oxygen-free metabolism of yeast. One of the main reasons why grape juice was not kept or made before the Industrial Revolution was that it tended to spoil rather rapidly. But by the middle of the 19th century, the nature of fermentation began to be clearly understood, due in part to the experiments of French scientist Louis Pasteur who determined that ferments and their agents yeast and bacteria as primarily responsible for alcoholic fermentation. Chemically speaking, these agents act through their internal enzymes which functioning as catalysts, govern and control the series of reactions involved in the conversion of sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the website, wine.com. It begins with an analysis of the wine industry, particularly the business part of it. The paper describes how wine.com is part of the wine industry, first of all, but also part of the new IT wave, where e-commerce, e-distribution or e-marketing make the rules. The paper discusses the implications of the business belonging to two industries.
From the Paper
"The people at Wine.com have remarkably found out different ways to solve this problem. One of the first viable solutions was an extension of their targeted clientele. Why refer only to the connoisseurs when there is a rich potential from those people that are ready to buy and enjoy a bottle of wine without belonging necessarily to that category of persons. Wine.com decided that this was a significant category of consumers it needed to address."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the wine import industry in the U.K. The paper begins with a brief overview of historical issues of relevance to the importation of wine into the UK and the globalization of the wine industry today. This is followed by an environmental analysis and a competitive analysis of the UK wine import market. The report concludes with a summary of key findings and includes tables.
From the Paper
"As evidenced within these trends, the wine market throughout the world is becoming more internationalized rather than concentrated within the Old World. These trends also emphasize that the wine market throughout the world is becoming significantly more competitive, with most key New World suppliers expanding their export sales at a relatively appreciable rate. As noted by Anderson et al. (2001), these trends are even more significant in that the rapid growth in wine exports over the past decade has occurred at a time when there has been a slight decline in world wine production and consumption."

Abstract
This paper examines why a bottle of Bodegas Escortihuela Argentine wine costs over $20 in the United States and less than $2 in Argentina. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Argentina is the fourth largest wine producer in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The paper looks at Argentina's export record, the cost of producing wine in Argentina, tax issues and reasons why Argentina bothers exporting its wine. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"Due largely to its European heritage, the citizens of Argentina are some of the largest consumers of wine in the world. Because of this, wine is sold through a number of channels in that nation, all of them for the most part, strongly supervised by both the nation and the state. In general, the wines are sold to the consumer at a price that is roughly 500 percent of cost. If a bottle of Cabernet cost $1 (including labor, corking, packing) then by the time it would reach the consumer, it would bear a retail price of $5."

The lack of understanding of Japanese business culture and complexity of the market are seen as barriers to entry. Before we make clear why we choose wine to get in the Japanese market, we need to know what is the environment within and how we use the strategy to enter this market."

The paper looks at emerging trends that favor the industry and shows how the spread of wine tourism in virtually all states has benefited state and local economies.
From the Paper
"The wine industry in the US began small with most of it accounted for by import until its expansion in California in the early 20th century (Geisler 2006). It was prohibited for a time and then revived in the early 70s and directed by aggressive demands for better quality wine products. Between the 70s and the late 90s, wine consumption went up and down. By 2004, the US Department of Agriculture reported US wine consumption at 2.3 gallons. California has more than 1,800 of wineries in the USA and accounts for 90% of total US wine production."

Abstract
This paper reviews the competitive forces of the wine industry apparent in Washington State. According to this paper, Washington State is a major source of wine for the domestic and foreign markets, with wine regions that include six federally recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). The paper also compares the area with that of the great French wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy.
From the Paper
"California gets more attention as a wine producer, but Washington State is also a major source of wine for the domestic and foreign markets. The Washington area offers several key elements that serve as competitive advantages for the Washington wine industry. First, Washington is located on approximately the same latitude as the great French wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Washington wine regions also include six federally recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). These regions experience a variety of climates and soils, and combined with the long summer sunlight hours of northern latitudes, this fact creates prime growing regions, most of them found in the valleys and on the hillsides of areas east of the Cascade Mountains."

Wine Salability.
A look at the strategic management of wine salability.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, like any marketed item, wine has a demand for salability and marketing finesse. It looks at how, with recent changes in the regional availability of wine and the ever-changing market in the modern, fast-paced, global economy, salability has become key to determining the value of the product. It shows how current market research associated with the role of quality in sales has determined a strong correlation between status and perceived quality and how, because of the focus in the wine industry on measured quality, it is one of the most likely industries to be sighted for examples of market change and demand.
From the Paper
"A law enacted in 2000 protecting Napa Growers and sellers from name infringement, ?requires at least 75 percent of the content of Napa-labeled wines to be from the Napa Valley.? (Ryan 2004) is being challenged by a marketed lower quality grower who uses the Napa name regardless of the non-Napa grape content of their wine. ?Bronco is a major industry presence, selling more than 10 million cases of wine in 2002. It controls several inexpensive labels like ForestVille and Charles Shaw, also known as ?Two-buck Chuck.? Though clearly the wine production being detailed in such an example is not of the caliber associated with wine quality by a standard set of guidelines, and it can be argued that the progressive exposure to wine in any form can leads to a growth in consumer interest in quality products, progressively, the truth is that quality growers often feel challenged by those who produce cheep table wine for mass consumption."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that of the wide array of alcoholic beverages in the commercial market, wine and beer proved to be the most popular and well received by consumers. Aside from the social role that alcoholic beverages play in peoples? lives, alcoholic beverages have also health effects on the body. The health effect of wine and beer on the human health and body is the main focus of this paper. In enumerating and defining the health effects of these two popular alcoholic beverages, a comparative analysis is made of the effects of wine and beer as alcoholic beverages and their health benefits.
From the Paper
"Wine consumption in moderate amounts is also encouraged because it reduces the amount of LDL, or the ?bad cholesterol? in our bodies. Through wine drinking, these LDL present in out bodies will be reduced, thereby reducing the risks and danger these components pose to our health. Wine drinking also increases the amount of HDL cholesterol, the ?good cholesterol? in the human body. Another essential component in preventing cardiovascular diseases is the presence of omega-3 fatty acids in wine, particularly red wine. It was reported that high levels of these omega-3 fatty acids in the cholesterol could result to favorable effects against the development of cardiovascular diseases in the body (Thomas 2002). Thus, wine drinking helps prevent the increase of cardiovascular disease because of the health benefits of its alcohol content, wherein components in it play a vital role in combating the onslaught of hear-related diseases and ailments."

Abstract
The paper shows how Chile's climate and geography are perfect for growing grapes for wine. It studies laws governing wine marketing and the different types of wine produced. Benefits to Chile's economy are also covered.
From the Paper
"The Chilean climate is very beneficial to winemaking. The Phylloxera root louse, which will devastate a harvest, is not a problem in Chile. Experts believe Chile is a sanitary island bordered by the desert, which is the driest on the earth, the mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica to the south. The dry fall and spring weather in Chile's main wine growing region also prevents mildew, which can be a problem in other well-known wine regions, such as California."

The Diageo Wine Company, 2005.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes Diageo Plc. and discusses how it has divested itself of businesses that do not have a synergistic relationship to its core business, such as its holdings of Burger King. The paper explains that in terms of its core business, the company became the world's largest spirits and wine company when it acquired Seagram's, an acquisition that included four California brands and the importation rights for various French wines and champagnes.
From the Paper
"The Diageo wine company has had a strong business for some time and began to work to make it stronger through brand rationalization, meaning the company decided to concentrate on its mid-priced wines for about $10 to $15 and to sell off its holdings for higher-priced brands which it had acquired over the years. A reconsideration of this strategy came soon after, including an indication that the company was willing to acquire more land for vineyards if the price was right and if the cost structure fit with its overall company structure. The head of the company is Ray Chadwick, president of Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines, and he sees cost synergy as the main growth driver for the company into the future."
