  • Analysis of International Competitive Positioning of Quality Wine from Spain
    Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(3):491-501. 2013 www.rcia.uc.cl AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS RESEARCH PAPER Analysis of international competitive positioning of quality wine from Spain Juan Sebastián Castillo and Mª Carmen García Instituto de Desarrollo Regional, Universidad Castilla-La Mancha, Campus Universitario s/n, Albacete, Spain. Abstract J.S. Castillo, and M.C. García. 2013. Analysis of international competitive positioning of quality wine from Spain. Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(3):491-501. The global vitiviniculture sector is undergoing systemic and thorough changes. Spain occupies a privileged position in the global industry, ranking first in surface area, third in production and second in export volume. In recent years, domestic consumption has experienced a clear and pronounced decline, as observed in France and Italy. Therefore, exportation has become the main commercial avenue for table and quality wine. In Spain, designated quality wine represents 50% of total production and has experienced commercial dynamics in international markets that differ from those affecting table wine. The object of this paper is to analyze the factors influencing the competitiveness of quality wine, represented by designations of origin, in international markets. After defining a competitiveness index, adapted from the Balassa index, and using environmental and internal variables, three panel data models of the most representative Designations were specified for the 2000/2001 to 2009/2010 seasons. The results demonstrated that environmental variables were more influential in explaining the weak international competitive positioning of the poorer performing Designations. European regulations resulting from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the economic crisis were significant and influential in this respect.

Date: March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary South African Chenin Blanc is the most planted grape cultivar in South Africa (SA) and is known for its versatility in wine sensory profiles. However, according to the South African wine industry, consumers are confused as to the different styles that make up Chenin Blanc wine. Currently, there are six different style classifications for South African Chenin Blanc wine that was proposed as a guideline by the Chenin Blanc Association (CBA). Previous research conducted at the University of Stellenbosch was aimed at evaluating these style classifications. Previous results showed that, when using a small sample set of commercial Chenin Blanc, only two clear style categories could be identified – Fresh and Fruity and Rich and Ripe Wooded.

  • A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
    European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt.

It is a newly designated wine district (March 2012) and an exploratory research study was undertaken to determine what the Brand ‘DNA’ of the Wellington Wine District is and then to propose appropriate marketing strategies for the developing wine tourism destination. The research process focussed on two types of wine tourism behaviour, namely festival-goers at the Wellington Wine Harvest Festival and the visitors to selected Wellington Wine Route members’ cellar doors. Surveys were executed by means of interviews and self-administration of structured questionnaires. Results were analysed in terms of two categories: first time visitors (FTV) and repeat visitors (RV).

Three dry Chenin blanc wine styles are currently described by the wine industry as Fresh and Fruity (FF), Rich and Ripe unwooded (RR-unwooded) and, Rich and Ripe wooded (RR-wooded). According to the South African wine industry, however, consumers seem to be somewhat confused by these various Chenin blanc wine styles, which have not yet been clearly defined and classified. During this study we investigated the following perspectives of this wine style classification confusion: Currently, no specified sensory method is being used to differentiate between wine styles of a single wine cultivar, such as Chenin blanc.

  • Climate Change and Global Wine Quality
    Climate Change: Observations, Projections, and General Implications for Viticulture and Wine Production1 Gregory V. Jones Professor, Department of Geography, Southern Oregon University Summary Climate change has the potential to greatly impact nearly every form of agriculture. However, history has shown that the narrow climatic zones for growing winegrapes are especially prone to variations in climate and long-term climate change. While the observed warming over the last fifty years appears to have mostly benefited the quality of wine grown worldwide, projections of future warming at the global, continent, and wine region scale will likely have both a beneficial and detrimental impacts through opening new areas to viticulture and increasing viability, or severely challenging the ability to adequately grow grapes and produce quality wine. Overall, the projected rate and magnitude of future climate change will likely bring about numerous potential impacts for the wine industry, including – added pressure on increasingly scarce water supplies, additional changes in grapevine phenological timing, further disruption or alterations of balanced composition and flavor in grapes and wine, regionally-specific changes in varieties grown, necessary shifts in regional wine styles, and spatial changes in viable grape growing regions. Key Words: climate change, viticulture, grapes, wine Climate Change, Viticulture, and Wine The grapevine is one of the oldest cultivated plants that, along with the process of making wine, have resulted in a rich geographical and cultural history of development (Johnson, 1985; Penning-Roswell, 1989; Unwin, 1991). Today’s viticultural regions for quality wine production are located in relatively narrow geographical and therefore climatic niches that put them at greater risk from both short-term climate variability and long-term climate change than other more broad acre crops.

  • Analyzing the Competitive Performance of the South African Wine Industry
    International Food and Agribusiness Management Review Volume 14, Issue 4, 2011 Analyzing the Competitive Performance of the South African Wine Industry Johan Van Rooyena Dirk Esterhuizenb and Lindie Stroebelc aDirector: Centre for AgriBusiness Leadership and Mentorship Development, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag x1, Matieland, Western Cape 7602, South Africa b Senior Agricultural Specialist, Foreign Agricultural Service, Embassy of the United States of America P.O. Box 9536, Pretoria 0001, South Africa c Manager, Economic Intelligence, Agricultural Business Chamber, PO Box 76297 Lynnwood Ridge, South Africa 0040, South Africa Abstract This article describes a methodology and a four-step framework to measure and analyze com- petitive performance of the South African wine industry. Competitive performance is viewed as the ability to sustain trade against the competition in the global market. The economic sustaina- bility of the South African wine industry is found to be highly dependent on its trading perfor- mance, with more than 40 percent of production consistently being exported since 2005. The views and opinions of South African wine executives through the Wine Executive Surveys of 2005 and 2008 are used to identify, describe and explain these competitiveness trends and to qualitatively comment on factors impacting on performance. The Porter Diamond is applied to derive the most important industry determinants of competitive performance. From this analysis changes in the “competitiveness space” of the South African wine industry are described and an- alyzed and a wine industry agenda is proposed to enhance competitive performance. Keywords: South African wine industry, competitive performance and competitive space, rela- tive trade advantage (RTA), wine executive surveys, Porter Diamond.
