Study Notes

Wine Industry Catch-Up Cycles

Old World (OW) vs. New World (NW): OW refers to traditional European wine producers, while NW includes latecomers like Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina.
Australian Wine Industry Decline: Declining competitiveness attributed partly to exchange rate appreciation (commodity boom) impacting premium wine prices and partly to structural issues in the Australian production model, which prioritizes centralized R&D and large firms, making it inflexible in response to evolving consumer demands for differentiation and sophistication.
New Zealand and Argentina's Success: New Zealand focused on premium/super-premium segments, leveraging cooler-climate wine preferences. They fostered terroir associations and geographic appellations for success. Argentina successfully shifted to quality export wines, capitalizing on foreign investment, favorable exchange rates, and institutional reforms, overtaking other countries in the US market.
Asian Wine Markets: Surge in Asian consumption, particularly Chinese, has become a new frontier for OW and NW producers. Chinese domestic consumption is rising faster than any other country, resulting in high demand for luxury iconic French and Australian wines. Domestic Chinese production is also increasing and Chinese investments in French/US/Australian companies signal growing interest in the wine industry.

Brand Stretching in Alcohol Marketing

Brand Stretching: A marketing strategy where alcohol companies use their brand names on diverse products (e.g., food, merchandise) to extend their marketing reach.
Brand Importance: Brands help consumers navigate choices and provide confidence. Brands become embedded in consumer culture, and even young children are exposed to alcohol brands. High familiarity with alcohol brands can influence buying behaviors when they reach drinking age..
Brand Stretching Techniques:
- Line extensions: Applying the brand name to new variations of existing products (e.g. Diet Coke).
- Category extensions: Applying the brand name to entirely new product categories (e.g. Virgin Airlines).
Alcohol-Branded Merchandise: Companies use T-shirts, jackets, glasses, etc., to promote their brands, particularly among younger demographics.
Alcohol-Branded Foods: A more recent development where alcohol brands are linked to food products (e.g., flavoured potato chips).
Displacement Marketing: Alcohol industry's approach to circumvent marketing restrictions by shifting their focus to brand extension strategies. This raises concerns about alcohol exposure and potential brand loyalty in young people.
