  • Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers
    Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 4, 2019, Pages 343–355 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.29 Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers German Puga a, James Fogarty b, Atakelty Hailu c and Alejandro Gennari d Abstract Mendoza is the main wine-producing province of Argentina, and the government is currently implementing a range of policies that seek to improve grape grower profitability, including a vineyard replanting program. This study uses a dataset of all grape sales recorded in Mendoza from 2007 to 2018, totaling 90,910 observations, to investigate the determinants of grape prices. Key findings include: smaller volume transactions receive lower-average prices per kilo- gram sold; the discount for cash payments is higher in less-profitable regions; and the effect of wine stock levels on prices is substantial for all varieties. Long-run predicted prices are also estimated for each variety, and region; and these results suggest that policymakers should review some of the varieties currently used in the vineyard replanting program. (JEL Classifications: Q12, Q13, Q18) Keywords: autoregressive distributed lag, grape price, hedonic price, Mendoza. I. Introduction Accounting for 71% of total Argentinean grape production, Mendoza is the main wine province of Argentina. Argentina is the fifth-largest wine producer in the world (Anderson, Nelgen, and Pinilla, 2017;OIV,2018). Mendoza is a wine-producing region of international importance and in 2017 the estimated value of wine grape The authors thank an anonymous referee and the editorial team at JWE (especially Karl Storchmann) for their comments and assistance in progressing this paper to its final version.

  • Argentina's Booming Vineyards
    May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque. For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Mendoza, in the far west of the country, where the flat expanse of the pampas rises abruptly into the Andes, has long been the centre of the Argentine wine industry. Until recently, it produced cheap plonk for local consumption, but it is fast emerging as a major wine region to rival the best that Europe can offer. Its signature malbecs are finding their way to the world's finest restaurant tables and, in Mendoza itself, boutique vineyards and designer tasting-rooms are all the rage. Foreigners are buying into the boom. An acre of land here costs a fraction of the price you would pay in the Loire Valley or around Bordeaux, and there's plenty of it. Nigel Cooper is a Briton who recently bought 10 acres in the Uco Valley, a sublimely beautiful area some 40 miles south of Mendoza city.

Methods Model combining the inverse form of the partial equilibrium adjustment autoregressive distributed lag model and the hedonic model. Results The final results of this research will be available by May 2019. Abstract 1. Background In 2017 the Argentinean wine industry was responsible for generating almost USD 2 billion in value added for Argentina and 374,000 jobs (Argentinean Wine Corporation, 2018). Accounting for 71% of the country’s total wine grape production, Mendoza is the main wine production province of Argentina. Viticulture in Mendoza is focused on wine grapes, with more than 99% of the total grape production used for making grape juice or wine. High-quality red varieties like Malbec attract a farm gate price higher than most red varieties as well as most high-quality white varieties. The three main rosé varieties (i.e. Cereza, Criolla Grande and Moscatel Rosado) are always among the cheapest grapes, and these varieties are primarily used for producing grape juice or generic white wine.

New chemical markers of Pinot blanc were identified: astilbin and trans-caftaric acid differentiated the wines according to the vinification; S-glutathionylcaftaric acid correlated with the temporal trends. Fluorescence analysis displayed strong time-evolution and differentiation of the two wines for gallocatechin and epigallocatechin, respectively.

Prieto, email [email protected] Abstract Background and Aims: Based on 19 nuclear simple sequence repeat markers and parental analysis, we aimed to identify and propose the pedigree of different accessions held at the Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Mendoza of the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria germplasm collection. The results were compared with data recorded in large, international databases. Methods and Results: We identified 37 different cultivars, of which 18 were original and not previously identified. The parentage analysis showed that European cultivars, such as Muscat of Alexandria, Muscat à Petits Grains, Listán Prieto, Mollar Cano and Malbec, were involved in natural crossings resulting in different South American cultivars. Conclusions: Many of the cultivars identified here represent unique individuals based on their genotype. The number of cultivars that participated as progenitors in the origin of South American germplasm is higher than previously thought. Significance of the Study: Germplasm collections planted many years ago play a key role in the conservation and characterisation of genotypes that otherwise may have been lost.
