2019 Report

The Wine Intelligence Global Brand Power Index shows the top 15 most powerful wine brands by market. Rather than being based on volume of sales, the index is calculated based on a combination of consumer reported brand health measures.

The Index uses six input measures from consumer feedback obtained from Wine Intelligence Vinitrac® omnibus surveys: awareness, recalled purchase in the past three months, conversion rate of awareness into purchase, future purchase consideration, affinity and recommendation.

The Global Wine Brand Power Index 2019 report includes: – The key findings from the Global Wine Brand Power Index 2019 along with the top 15 most powerful brands globally from a consumer perspective – 2019 versus 2018 ranking Wine Brand Power differences on a global and individual market scale – Wine Brand Power 2019 by market, 20 markets in total, which includes the top 15 most powerful brands in that market as well as key findings from that market

100 Research methodology

Quantitive

How does Vinitrac® work?

1) Defining the right samples: ▪ Wine Intelligence, with the support of global research companies (e.g. TNS, YouGov), regularly runs calibration studies in each market in order to define demographic specifications of the wine consumers and the size of the market (i.e. penetration of wine consumption)

2) Running the online survey: ▪ Invitations to participate in an online survey programmed by Wine Intelligence are then distributed to residents in each market ▪ Respondents are directed to a URL address, which provides access to the online survey ▪ Based on given criteria (e.g. age, beverage, frequency of wine consumption) respondents will either proceed or screen out of the survey ▪ Wine Intelligence monitors completed responses to build samples representative of the target markets’ wine drinking population based on the most recent calibration study

3) Cleaning the data: ▪ When a representative sample is logged, the survey is closed ▪ Wine Intelligence will then clean out all invalid data points (e.g. those who sped through the survey or gave inconsistent answers to selected questions) and weight the data in order to ensure representability
