A wine will not be the same depending on the environment and the country it was produced. The perception of wine has evolved during the past few years and well-known bottles can be found all around the world due to the globalization. The majority of wine producers was originally located in Europe, in countries such as France, Italy or Spain. However, the world of wine known before is over. The emergence of new producers located in America, Oceania and Africa has changed the vision of the traditional wine industry.

Judging by the strong growth rate experienced in the red wine segment, it is reasonable to conclude that the red wine segment is in the growth phase of the life cycle model. In addition, production of red wine varietals which are relatively unknown such as syrah and sangiovese nearly doubled in a year from 1998 to 1999. The white wine segment, however, is at the mature phase of its life cycle as the segment shrunk slightly by 0.42% from 1998 to 1999. Overall, the industry is still at the growth stage lead by growth in the red wine segment.
