"Wine and spirit markets to remain active in 2010 despite recession" - Insider News wine articles
Helping wine businesses to stay current on the international wine market, The Insider News ' wine articles feature key information and events about the world wine industry.
Overall, global wine sales are expected to continue growing annually, thanks to the world’s leading wine markets. Everyone knows who they are: the United States, China, Russia and India still have untapped potential and are expected to see exponential growth in 2010. In order to keep a close eye on trends in these emerging markets, Global Wine & Spirits has become a media partner of the Drink World Congress 2010 2011, a series of four B2B meetings to be held in Hong Kong, Milan, New York and Moscow. We invite you to read an article about DWC in this issue of Insider News.
In contrast, more mature, conservative and traditional markets, such as Canada, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, seem to be adopting a more prudent approach. A recent Wine Intelligence wine consumer study — which we are delighted to present in this issue of Insider News— shows that consumers right across six markets (Australia, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States) are still cautious about their off-trade wine spending.
Companies are therefore facing very different consumption patterns around the world. Now, more than ever, is the time to devise innovative strategies for increasing sales. Varietals, modern presentations and labelling are key factors to consider when entering new markets and looking to establish long-term export relationships. At Global Wine & Spirits, we offer you visibility, interaction, connectivity and valuable market information you need. Don’t hesitate to contact us for help in designing your strategy for 2010!
