I am also pleased to report that the integration of the Miranda Wines business proceeded seamlessly with no loss of business momentum. In fact we have been able to extract maximum synergies from this acquisition and at the same time enhance the financial performance of the David Stuart Clarke AO Miranda business. Chairman Miranda is now a critical part of the McGuigan Simeon business. It provided the company with immediate access to the domestic cask business and the ability to increase our domestic branded business. The Future Whilst the wine industry is in a new phase of development in terms of aggressive pricing strategies, oversupply of wine and on going consolidation, it is important to note that the Australian Wine industry continues to grow, both domestically and internationally. Domestic sales volume has been increasing by 4% per annum and export sales volumes 14%. Whilst volume increases have been evident, the average selling price per litre of wine in both the domestic and export markets has been declining. To maintain profitability, wine companies must meet the challenges of reducing costs and at the same time improving quality. McGuigan Simeon Wines is structured to meet these challenges with increased product quality, sustainable cost control and security of distribution channels as our main focus. There is no doubt that the next few years will be extremely challenging. Also, as the company continues to meet these challenges, we will remain alert to potential acquisitions and ventures which will add value for shareholders. The acquisition of Miranda Wines during the year is an example. 4 McGuigan Simeon Wines Limited - Annual Report 2004 McGuigan Simeon Wines Limited - Annual Report 2004 5 Managing Director’s Report 2004 – The expanded company takes shape Background The 2004 year has been one of the most exciting, increase over the prior year sales of $37.1 million. successful and rewarding years of the company’s 12 Whilst the acquisition of Miranda contributed year history.

  • Information About Australia Can Increase the Choice of Australian Wines by Chinese Consumers
    CHINA BUSINESS & MARKETING Thinking outside the bottle: information about Australia can increase the choice of Australian wines by Chinese consumers By Patricia Osidacz Williamson1, Simone Mueller Loose2, Larry Lockshin2 and Leigh Francis1 1The Australian Wine Research Institute, PO Box 197, Glen Osmond, South Australia 5064 2Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, University of South Australia ____ Many Australian wine producers are targeting China as a new market. With a population of more than 1.3 billion and a growing middle class, the potential for wine sales in China is huge. However, cultural differences and competition from other wine-producing countries are all barriers to be overcome. Research on wine consumer behaviour in China, including the factors that influence choice of Australian wines, can assist Australian wine producers in their efforts to break into this important market.

  • IWC 2019 Tranche 2
    Australia takes second place in International Wine Challenge, demonstrating versatility and verve Australian wines were awarded 67 Gold, 319 Silver and 359 Bronze medals in the International Wine Challenge, widely regarded as the world’s most rigorously judged wine competition. Demonstrating Australia’s strength in both white and red wines, the country as a whole won 35 Golds for its white wines and 32 for its reds. Twenty of the reds went to Shiraz wines and 19 of the white Golds went to Chardonnay wines. Australia’s impressive total puts it in second place in the national table, behind the competition’s top country, France. South Australia confirms place as top wine-producing region South Australia, the “historic heart of Australian wine”, has confirmed its place as Australia’s top wine-producing region after two weeks of judging at the International Wine Challenge. South Australia gained nearly half of Australia’s Gold tally – 33 – as well as 202 Silver medals and 238 Bronze medals. Within the South Australia region, it was the cooler Adelaide Hills that shone, taking ten Gold medals, with Chardonnay and Riesling dominating the white grapes, and Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz for red. Bird in Hand was the region’s top producer, gaining four Gold medals – two from Adelaide Hills and two from Mount Lofty, including the Syrah 2017 which scored 96/100 points. The other 96-point Shiraz in the competition was also from Adelaide Hills – Zonte's Footstep’s Hills Are Alive 2017. Adelaide Hills’ other Golds went to Penfolds, Longview Vineyard, Hahndorf Hill Winery, Australian Vintage, and Sidewood Estates.

  • April 2016 Volume 07 Issue No
    GLOBAL MARKET UPDATE –APRIL 2016 VOLUME 07 ISSUE NO. 04 The harvest in the Southern Hemisphere is in full swing, and in some cases winding down. While reports of crop size are mixed among all countries, the biggest concern is coming from ArgenPna. It seems that the previously reported weather condiPons have had a dramac effect on harvest size. We are awaiPng official numbers, but it is clear that this crop will be significantly smaller than previous years. Likewise, Chile is reporPng smaller returns from the vineyard, and the outcome is similarly aributed to the El Nino affect during the growing season. Australia and New Zealand both report strong harvest numbers, but South Africa joins Chile and ArgenPna with lower volume expectaons for the 2016 season. The Northern Hemisphere sales season is well underway. Sales of bulk wine in North America appear to be strong and moving at a faster pace than those of Europe. The strong U.S. dollar has certainly helped U.S. importers find opportuniPes around the globe. Despite receiving much needed rain this winter, drought condiPons conPnue, albeit on a less severe scale. The bulk market conPnues the trend towards strong acPvity, and slightly higher pricing, which began in the fourth quarter of 2015. Despite the trend towards higher prices, opportuniPes for buyers can be found in several markets.
