Increasing demand for wine in the US and China
The US is the leading consumer of wine in the world. The overall consumption and per capita consumption of wine in the US are increasing and are expected to continue during the forecast period. Furthermore, social acceptance of wine coupled with awareness about the various health benefits of wine are boosting its demand in the US. China was the second-largest consumer of high-priced wine after the US in 2013. China, including Hong Kong, is estimated to be the fifth-largest wine consuming country worldwide.
Emergence of private label brands
The emergence of private label brands is an upcoming trend that is anticipated to have an impact on the growth of the global fortified wine market during the forecast period. Retailers, especially grocery stores, perceive private labels as profitable options with 10%-15% higher margins than national brands. Private label wines are made exclusively for a single retailer and are sold under the retailer’s brand, not the winery’s brand. Major grocery retailers such as Tesco and Aldi have their own brands of wine and the penetration level of private labels in some European countries is more than 50%.
