Abstract
Five different wine-producing countries - and five different sets of
challenges for the years ahead, but all are subject to the same consumer
trends, and the same global market in grapes and wine.
The changes to the grape supply and wine production picture in the Southern
Hemisphere over the last 18 months have been dramatic, with each of the five
main wine-producing countries - Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
Argentina and Chile dealing with their own individual issues, although
Australia' s drought tends to have dominated the headlines.
In this second edition of the Southern Hemisphere grape supply and wine
production report we take a look at the challenges facing the market, and
answer questions such as: Are the prices of key grape varieties rising or
falling? Where are new plantings taking place? And what role will consumer
tastes and preferences play in the next few years?
For each wine producing country included in the report we provide:
- A concise harvest report for 2007, supported by relevant data.
- An assessment of the current grape supply, demand and pricing situation
for key grape varieties and regions, supported by forecasts showing average
grape price by varietal for each region, from 2002 to 2013.
- Current and future production trends, including commentary on
grower/producer relationships and limitations on supply and planting.
