  • Exporting Wine to the Belgian Market 1. Product Description
    Exporting wine to the Belgian market Last updated: 23 November 2016 Due to minor domestic production, Belgium imports most of its wine. Southern European wine producers have a strong market position but Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, is more open to New World wines. Large retailers have a strong bargaining position. If developing country exporters are not able to supply supermarkets, they need to emphasise their Unique Selling Point (USP) and target the specialist retailer segment. Sparkling wine is currently very popular and presents opportunities to developing country exporters. Contents of this page 1. Product Description 2. What is the demand for wine in Belgium? 3. Which trends offer opportunities on the Belgian wine market? 4. With which requirements should wine comply to be allowed on the Belgian market? 5. What competition will I be facing on the European market for wine? 6. Which channels can you use to put wine on the Belgian market? 7. What are the end-market prices in the Belgium wine market? 1. Product Description Wine is defined as: ‘The product obtained exclusively from the total or partial alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes, whether or not crushed’.

  • Perfumes Míticos
    PERFUMES MÍTICOS A la venta desde octubre de 2012 «Su perfume olía a perfume, igual que los demás perfumes. Pero en ella parecía un olor natural.» (Simone de Beauvoir Los mandarines, 1954) PERFUMES MÍTICOS Marie Bénédicte Gauthier Un exquisito libro con la historia de los perfumes más emblemáticos y un sinfín de sugerencias para elegir una fragancia. Lleno de anécdotas sobre cómo y para quién se creó cada perfume, cómo distinguirlos o quién es o ha sido su imagen. ¿A qué olía Marilín? ¿Qué perfume era el preferido de Robert Reford o de Grace Kelly? ¿cuál fue el primer perfume para hombre y mujer?... Hay perfumes que cuentan historias y que evocan sentimientos y deseos. Muchos de ellos mantienen un vínculo muy afectivo, transmitido de generación en generación, que convocan en ese sentido el recuerdo de las personas queridas. Los perfumes míticos son un condensado de sensibilidad: algunos fueron creados hace más de un siglo pero siguen encerrando una enorme belleza en su diminuto frasco. Hay perfumes que forman parte de la historia del cine, otros “visten” habitualmente a grandes estrellas, los hay que forman parte de los museos de arte, y hay algunos que son famosos principalmente por un envase que está más allá de una “botellita” de diseño más o menos atractivo. Este precioso libro objeto, de cuidado diseño, narra la historia de los perfumes más míticos, además de desvelarnos todos los detalles de sus fórmulas y un sinfín de sugerencias útiles para escoger la esencia que mejor reafirme nuestra propia personalidad. Son setenta perfumes, cada uno con su ficha, en la que se detallan las notas de salida, corazón y fondo del perfume con un lenguaje ameno, además de algunas indicaciones para saber para quién está hecho el perfume y cómo llevarlo.

  • Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: a Case Study
    Argumentum. Journal of the Seminar of Discursive Logic, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric 16 (1): 80-93, 2018 Brînduşa-Mariana AMALANCEI “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău (Romania) Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: A Case Study Abstract: The analysis of a perfume advertising image can be done from multiple perspectives, the endeavors to provide possible reading paths and interpretations being among the most diverse in the literature. Whether it is to meet the consumers’ psychological desires, to relate to fashion trends, or to create a rare scent, perfume advertising is a real challenge, which often needs to be answered just by juxtaposing an image and the product name. Our paper highlights the way in which the correlation between the visual and olfactory forms of perfumes is attempted, through product name, vial, characters, context and text (Julien 1997). Because in many advertisements the perfume is replacing the character, we chose as a case study an advertising image that we consider illustrating in this respect, that of the new olfactory creation of Chanel, Gabrielle, which appeared in September 2017. We have to mention that the launch of this product has been marked by the appearance of homage articles in glossy magazines, which contributes, through the information provided, to a better understanding of the message the advertisement transmits. Keywords: image, visual identity, olfactory concept, olfactory memory, brand name, perfume name, perfume bottle, advertising context 1. Fragrances ‒ Vectors of Communication Considered a privileged way of communication, perfumes are an identity mark (Vettraino-Soulard 1992, 106). We can often hear in advertisements about perfumes for strong women, perfumes that suit active women, perfumes for romantic women, etc.

  • From Russia with Corks TASTING ARTICLES RUSSIA a Clutch of Russian Wines Turned out to Be Rather Impressive
    From Russia with corks TASTING ARTICLES RUSSIA A clutch of Russian wines turned out to be rather impressive. A Belgian wine importer contacted me to suggest I tasted some Russian wines he is currently importing into Europe. Dimitri Bonte's company Start2taste is based in Waregem. Last November he imported into Europe what he claims is the first container of wines from the Krasnodar region on the Black Sea to the east of Crimea (see this map). This was the region I visited back in 2009 and I seem to remember some muttering about incomers. (See, for instance, Russian wine gets real.) According to Bonte, the wines have been going down well in Belgium and are evidence of a new generation of wine producers in this, the most vine-friendly corner of Russia. I put on my most sceptical armour before tasting this case of a dozen samples from two producers, Burnier and Lefkadia, but I must say I was most agreeably surprised, as you will see from the tasting notes below. And not only did the wines taste good, some of them, particularly those from Lefkadia, also looked particularly good. Some of the reds are above right, some whites, with the perfect wine glass plus condensation, below. Lefkadia was established in the village of Moldavanskoe in 2006 by Mikhail I Nikolaev, who visited the region two years earlier and thought it looked just like Tuscany. Many tests and analyses of the local clay, limestone and sand later he planted vines and built a winery. He claims his technique of chilling grapes to between 4 and 8 ˚C before pressing and gravity-flow winery are unique in Russia.
