    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.

  • Leacock's Rainwater

    Leacock's Rainwater

    RAINWATER Leacock’s Madeira was established in 1760 and in 1925 formed the original Madeira Wine Association in partnership with Blandy’s Madeira. In 1989, the Symington family, renowned fourth generation Port producers, entered a partnership with Leacock’s in what had then become the Madeira Wine Company, which also represents Blandy’s, Cossart Gordon and Miles. The Blandy's family have continued to run Leacock's in the 21st century. THE WINEMAKING Fermentation off the skins with natural yeast at temperatures between 75°F and 78°F, in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks; fortification with grape brandy after approximately four days, arresting fermentation at the desired degree of sweetness. Leacock’s Rainwater was transferred to ‘estufa’ tanks where the wine underwent a cyclic heating and cooling process between 113°F and 122°F over a period of 3 months. After ‘estufagem’ the wine was aged for three years in American oak casks. The wine then underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled. TASTING NOTE Topaz color with golden reflections. Characteristic Madeira bouquet of dried fruits, orange peels and notes of wood. Medium dry at first, followed by an attractive freshness of citrus flavors, with a long, luxurious finish. WINEMAKER STORAGE & SERVING Francisco Albuquerque Leacock’s Rainwater is excellent as an after dinner drink and also very GRAPE VARIETAL good with fruit, chocolate, cakes and Tinta Negra hard cheeses.
