This qualitative research study was designed to shed more light on these issues. Based on 10 in-depth interviews with winery owners and winemakers in the Valle de Guadualupe of the Baja Peninsula, where the majority of Mexican wineries are located, this study describes viticulture, enology, and marketing practices for Baja wines. It concludes with a discussion on the future of Mexican wines. & 2015 UniCeSV, University of Florence. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Lawrence ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Bracero Program in the growth of Sonoma and Napa County viticulture in an attempt to understand how important bracero labor was to the industry. While most histories of the Bracero Program are nationwide or statewide in scope, this study explores the regional complexities of how and why the program was used in Sonoma and Napa Counties, how both the growers and laborers in the region felt about it, and how this was different from and similar to other regions. Government documents provided the statistics necessary to determine the demographic changes in the region due to the Bracero Program. Important primary source material that provided the human side of the story includes a number of oral history interviews I conducted, the collection of Wine Industry Oral Histories, and various regional newspaper articles.

Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Annual Report Mexico ATO [MX2], MX GAIN Report #MX0195 Page 1 of 14 Section 1: Situation and Outlook Overall, the Mexican market for wines is extremely price-sensitive. Although the economy has stabilized significantly since the peso devaluation in December, 1994, (as of 12/21/00, one US dollar equals 9.35 Mexican pesos), and consumer’s purchasing power has largely recovered, price still plays a crucial role in purchasing decisions. This is particularly true for non-staple food purchases. Quality, availability, and brand name familiarity are also important factors that Mexican consumers take into consideration when buying imported wines. Most European wine-producing countries (France, Italy, Spain), as well as Chile and Argentina, have a considerable share of Mexico’s wine market, as compared to US exports. France is the overall supplier of wines and cognacs to the Mexican market; Spain is a formidable contender in wines; Italy competes favorably in wines; and Chile is gaining market share in Mexico’s wine imports on a yearly basis.

Russell U.S. Agricultural Trade Office Drafted by: B. Avila/U.S. Deparment of Commerce; J. Bailey/ATO Executive Summary: Wine is a very price sensitive product in Mexico, as evidenced by the 50 percent drop in the value of total Mexican wine imports and U.S. wine exports immediately following the peso devaluation of December, 1994. However, as the economy is now recovering, good opportunities exist for regaining and increasing the U.S. share of this market over the next five years. Mexico’s import demand for wine is growing slowly, but steadily, and the U.S. industry should be in the market, actively developing it. U.S. wines face stiff competition from competitively priced, good quality Chilean wines, as well as from high priced, “prestige oriented” French and Spanish wines. Nevertheless, if the U.S. industry aggressively targets the Mexican market by participating in trade promotions, and by investing money in trade and development missions focusing on the hotel and restaurant industry, and participates in trade promotions, U.S. market share will increase.
