CCU had also assumed responsibility for the distribution of VSP wines in all but the most remote areas of Chile and quintupled the number of customers to 30,000. Domestic sales increased by 29 percent between 1995 and 1996, although a 5.5 percent rise in the average price for a case of wine sold had contributed to this increase. In 1996, after three years of losses, VSP finally boasted a profit of CP 305 million. (See Exhibit 4 for VSP financial statements.)

While bargaining power of buyers is ranked the least important of the five factors for Mondavi’s strategy, its importance should not be understated. One of the Wine is typically sold to wholesalers who then distribute to retail outlets. With the decreasing number of wholesalers and the consolidation of retailers, buyers negotiating power is increasing. It is difficult for companies like Mondavi to make consistent profits and maintain market share if they cannot keep products on retailers’ shelves.

Purchasing manager, Benson had difficulty in determining how many bottles he needed to order to support sales. He was concerned about over ordering to avoid issues with overstocking bottles that would not be used and incur a cost or become a loss when all of the bottles were changed with the new design. The challenge for him was to determine an accurate forecast for Greave’s 2004 sales. When a company plans its ordering or production schedule for a product it sells to the public, it must forecast the customer demand for this product so that it can stock appropriate quantities – neither too much nor too little (Albright, Winston & Zappe, 2010).

The United States wine industry is a 12 billion dollar industry and is composed of 7,000 wineries and around 1,800 different companies. The three major companies within the industry are Constellation brands, E&J Gallo, and The Wine Group Inc. The industry has made its way through the economic crisis at a better rate than some of the other U.S industries however in order for them to continue to see any type of growth it is important that they acknowledge their issues and find ways in which they can rectify them. The majority of the issues among the industry are problems that cannot be directly controlled by individual wine companies. Therefore it is imperative that wineries find away to use these issues to their

When evaluating cash flows for determining whether or not to pursue constructing a building to manufacture cupcakes there are several things to consider. The most important would be looking at a Grammy’s incremental after tax cash flow. Then one needs to determine the projects initial outlay, the differential cash flows over the project’s life, and the terminal cash flow. Also what needs to be looked at is what is the net present value and its internal rate of return.

After analysing the drawbacks of the current distribution system, we understand that is really important to change it. But, it is not necessary to find a completely different system but only improve this one. Indeed, despite these drawbacks, merchants (specialists of wine selling) know the market, know how to enter a market, know who are the specific retailors in foreign countries, on what Chateau Margaux doesn’t know because it is only a real specialist on the Bordeaux region. So what Corinne Mentzelopoulos should do is to improve the relationship

* Wine industry is currently growing well in the market since the last decade. However, the quality factor in wine has become the main issue

The Irish wine market has experienced tremendous growth over the past 15 to 20 years, with an almost five fold increase in the consumption of wine from 1.7 million cases in 1990 to 8.2 million cases in 2007 (WDB, 2008). DIGI (2010) reported a 6.9% decline in wine consumption (by volume in 2009), however this decline took place in a year when the overall alcohol market contracted by about 10% due to “poor national economic performance” (DIGI, 2010, p. 6). Despite the recent drop in consumption over the past year, the 450% growth in the Irish wine market since 1990, and the shifts in demand and preference result in the Irish wine market becoming an important target market for wine brands.
