Similarly, this wine bears a banderol around the bottle neck. In ornate, decorative script that is still clearly legible, one reads: Hindenburg and Adenauer leaving Cologne after the liberation festivities, on 22nd of March 1026. © Archiv der Stiftung Bundeskanzler-Adenauer-Haus Was it simply by chance that a wine from the estate that was to become Gut “Presented as a celebratory libation to honour the President Hermannsberg was served?

The terraced vineyard was created on the instructions of the Prussian government beginning in 1902, a process involving countless hours of manual labour. For the designation Trockenbeerenauslese the grapes need to show 150 Oechsle degrees. The TBA about to be auctioned doubles this figure and more, to this day a record must- weight for the estate.

  • The German Wine Market: a Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis
    Article The German Wine Market: A Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis Marc Dressler Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Ludwigshafen, Ernst-Boehe-Str. 4, D-67059 Ludwigshafen, Germany; [email protected] Received: 25 July 2018; Accepted: 15 November 2018; Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Even though it is famous for beer, Germany offers one of the most attractive wine markets, exemplified by being the fourth biggest wine consumption market and a world champion in sparkling wine consumption as well as in wine imports. Still, fragmentation, intensive competition, lack of growth, and a changing environment speak to a challenging market for suppliers. In the absence of a comprehensive investigation on the market, this article aspires to deliver an economic and strategic market analysis. The statistical data is therefore complemented by the primary market research, notably online surveys on strategy and innovation, a proprietary database on wineries’ reputation, and an international expert survey on export success factors. The following market study aims to provide a concise overview covering the relevant market data, and to disclose strategic information about the German wine industry beyond pure market statistics. The German wine market, in the stable wine volume sold, shows dynamism underneath “the tip of the iceberg”, with industry specific environmental forces. Indeed, as the wine industry deals with agricultural products of a high emotional utility, players need to address the world of commodities and of differentiation. Structural changes are visible in the drive-out of players. Moreover, diverse and even restricting environmental factors motivate supplier´s innovation. The key is the changing consumer.
