Between January and September bottled wine exports reached 14% more than the result of the entire 2007 While in bulk wine exports have grown over the past 18 months. Let’s wait how the crisis affects to take accounts and see how the year ends. The wineries and brands.
Every cloud has a silver lining. That seems to be the motto of wine exporters who still numbers shown them export growth. According to MRT bottled wine exports in the last decade (1998 -2008) are in clear upward trend. Exports of split wine bottles, carton, bag in box and samples in volume have a strong and sustained growth. For example: in 2006 it exported more than 14% in 2005 In 2007, 18% more than in 2006, and so far in 2008 (measured Sept.08) was exported already exported 14% more than in 2007 said Gaston I. Garcia, international trade analyst MRT. While it exported $ 125 million in 1998, in 2005 it exported a total of $ 261 million, in 2006 it exported $ 319 million and 2007 were sent abroad some $ 419 million in 2008 up to September a total of 520 million $ 100 million more than last year were exported. In the last 6 years, from 2002 to today, the export volume has been increasing, and if we take the volume of liters exported: in 2002 were shipped overseas and 57 million liters when compared to the volume traded in the January September period of 2008, reaching 210 million liters a growth of 275%, a fact to be observed negligible since nearly the volume of exports quadrupled from MRT Garcia said. The 2008 already exceeds the 2007 data indicate that MRT in the January varietal September 2008 following the head of exports are: Malbec, Cabernet and Chardonnay, followed by a little behind Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Torrontés. More wineries exported during this period were: Peñaflor, Trivento, Bodega Emerald Agricultural (Family Zuccardi) Fecovita, BVA, La Rioja, RPB, Flichman, Salentein and Norton. While among the best selling brands include: Trivento, Trapiche, Uvita de Plata, Astica, Marcus James, Santa Julia Fusion, Alamos Flichman, Argento, Pampas do Sul and Santa Camila, among others. Report bottled wine bottles a growth of almost 18% in export and almost 30% of the total FOB highlighted boxes. While the average price of exported Fund grew by almost 10%. While it is good to note that no significant drops are seen in major destination markets, except Russia fell 22% in case volume. The rest of the markets reflected growth in both number of cases and total FOB and FOB per carton, for example USA (35%), United Kingdom (12%), Brazil (2%), Canada (64%), Ukraine (26%) and the Netherlands (23%) told Garcia Day by Day Wine. At the same time he added that the report of bottled wine in Bag In Box growth of almost more than 47% in boxes for export and 60% in FOB Total stands, while the price of the average exported Box grew by 9%. This product is remarkable is that in the top 10 destinations growth is: Denmark (42%), Sweden (77%), Norway 3%, Finland (115%), Netherlands (1.142%) and the UK (19,000%) . And falls in Poland (20%), Brazil (91%), Thailand (72%), Ghana (70%), among others are observed. Thus, for the volumes handled, we can infer that the Fractionated Wine, bottled aided by Bag In Box, will be prowling the 19 million boxes to 500 million U $ S sales later this year. Which will represent an estimated 20% growth. Bulk wine with problems Although the numbers show that continues to grow, state tardiness in getting refunds for exports have jeopardized the continuity of the business for those without financial back. Garcia said that in the bulk wine a distinctly upward trend is also experienced. It can be seen in the last 18 months that the bulk wine has hardly stopped growing month by month. And this sustained growth and accumulates today liters 60%, 81% and total FOB nearly 14% in price per liter exported. The primary key continued, among other factors, is in sales to China, Switzerland and Australia. Since China became a 23 million liters compared to the 216,000 who bought last year, went on to compare Switzerland 2.4 million gallons about 90 billion last year buying and Australia step to buy 1 million liters to 5.5 million. And to this must be added that Russia and Canada (1st and 4th destination of the product) also increased by 53% and 30% respectively, which shows the basis for sustained growth. Meanwhile, some of the great players of bulk wine market as Mount Royal (first ranking) has signed a joint venture with the Chilean company Vina Aresti and Racke Alemena distributor to produce in the Spirit of Argentina Mendoza wine. Since the company noted that this year plans to sell at least 30,000 cases in 8 cities, while for 2009 projected to produce around 100,000 cases reaching more than 40 countries. Thus Mount Royal looking decompress the situation of bulk wine as a commodity that the international crisis is suffering global shocks.
