Transaction Costs, Capabilities and Grape Procurement Strategies In
TRANSACTION COSTS, CAPABILITIES AND GRAPE PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES IN U.S. EMERGING WINE REGIONS Bruno Varella Miranda PhD Candidate Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics University of Missouri 327 Mumford Hall Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone: +1-573-529-5420 Email: [email protected] Fabio Ribas Chaddad Associate Professor University of Missouri Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics 125 Mumford Hall Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone: +1-573-882-0155 Email: [email protected] Abstract: What are the drivers of grape procurement strategies in U.S. emerging wine regions? Are these choices constrained by the same factors as in established wine areas? This paper uses a mixed-methods approach to discuss the "make-or-buy" decisions of small American wineries from five states: Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Vermont. Departing from the existing empirical literature on grape procurement strategies in the wine industry, we argue that the study of organizational decisions in American nascent clusters has to consider both their structural characteristics and the features of their participants. Based on semi-structured interviews with Missouri winery owners, we argue that, given the heterogeneity in the bundles of capabilities and resources owned by firms from emerging areas, a rationale exclusively inspired by Oliver Williamson's transaction cost economics is insufficient to explain grape procurement strategies. The evidence presented here is consistent with the view that knowledge plays a decisive role in boundary decisions. Also, the results point out to the importance of informal ties in the governance of the transactions carried out by the wineries in the sample. In special, trust appears to be an essential supporting mechanism in the governance of less coordinated exchanges, reflecting the constraints faced by many firms to devise complex formal arrangements. -

Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today.

From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae. -

Abc Wine Distribution Company
ABC WINE DISTRIBUTION COMPANY BUSINESS PLAN www.bizzbeesolutions.com FEBRUARY, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document represents a business plan, which was made for ABC, a wine distribution company which plans to import wine from Spain and sell it directly to big retail and chain grocery stores in the U.S., Texas and Houston area to be more specific. The wine distribution business looks promising and very profitable, judging from the value of the wine market that was recorded in 2016, which amassed $287.39 billion. Recent projections suggest that the same market is expected to reach over $402 billion by 2020, at a CAGR 5.8%. Despite the favourable projections regarding the American wine market, the United States are one of the largest wine producers and consumers in the worldwide. France, Germany and Italy are trailing close behind the U.S in terms of wine consuption. In the U.S. the most popular wines that are preferred by the consumers are Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé, and Prosecco. Wine shipments to the U.S. amassed nearly $100 million in July 2017, where the top imported wines originated from countries like Italy, France, New Zealand, Australia, and Argentina. What furthermore emphasizes the ample opportunity the wine distribution market offers, is the fact that in 2016 the U.S. citizen averaged 2.94 gallons of wine consumed annually, with states like Idaho, New Hampshire, and Washington D.C. being the leading ones in wine per capita consumption. The market that ABC decided to target are the large retail stores in Texas, which include popular names like Walmart, Fiesta supermarkets, Costco, Central Market, Whole Foods etc. -

Consuming Concerns
CONSUMING CONCERNS The 2013 State-by-State Report Card On Consumer Access To Wine Issued By The American Wine Consumer Coalition Washington, DC August 2013 INTRODUCTION The patchwork of state laws concerning wine and consumer access to wine products create a complex and difficult to understand legal quilt. This is due to the passage of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution in 1933 that not only ended the 15-year experiment with national alcohol Prohibition, but also gave primary responsibility to the states for the regulation of alcohol sales and consumption. The states took that responsibility seriously and enacted a variety of laws and regulations concerning how its residents could access and consume wine. Eighty years after passage of the 21st Amendment, many of the alcohol and wine-related laws put in place in the 1930s are still in place in most states, despite a cultural, economic and commercial reality that is starkly different from the 1930’s. In some cases, however, laws concerning how consumers may access wine products and use wine have been updated to match the economic changes that have occurred, to accommodate legal rulings that showed many of the earlier laws to be unconstitutional and to meet the demands of an American consumer base that has become fervently interested in the wines produced now in every state in the country as well as the thousands of imported wines that now reach American shores from Europe, South America, Canada, Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other spots on the globe. “Consuming Concerns: The 2013 State-by-State Report Card on Consumer Access to Wine” looks at how friendly the fifty states’ and District of Columbia’s wine laws are to its wine consumers. -
