Strategy

41-year old Olivier Dupraz is responsible for the EuroCave Professional markets, having been in charge of the Europe, Middle-East and Africa zones.

Market trends “The situation is promising with a wine consumption market outside the home which is upgrading throughout the world. Demand for wine by the glass is increasing, in particular in Europe and North America but Asia-Pacific is also developing very rapidly and catching up. In the same way, professionals increasingly want to display storage of their prestigious bottles as well as wine served to the consumer: incidentally, we have noticed that we are being called on increasingly earlier when an establishment is being fitted, often at the design stage”.

The brand’s objectives “We are clearly in a process of growth, in particular in the export market with real potential for growth in Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East – a region boosted by the organisation of the Dubai World Expo in 2020 and the World Cup in Qatar “Professionals increasingly in 2022 – and in the United States, a country in which we are want to display storage going to ramp up our efforts starting this year.” of their prestigious bottles Collaboration with professionals as well as wine served “Compared with its competitors, which come from other to the consumer.” sectors, the EuroCave Group has the distinctive feature of having wine as its only activity.

Another area in which we are developing relationships, which we could strengthen further, is that of designers and interior designers with whom we are increasingly collaborating in order to facilitate incorporation of our products when establishments are being built or renovated: in this way, we offer them 3D illustrations of our products.” 5

In 2015, 50% of professionals in the catering industry in this way noticed a fall in bottle sales whereas 87% noticed stable or increased sales of wine by the glass according to a study by FranceAgriMer. This same year, 22% of restaurant turnover was connected to serving wine by the glass, compared to 17% in 2011. 8 products
