World Import Mkt

This section, reserved to Wine Monitor subscribers, is dedicated to monitoring the main world wine-importing markets. Besides focusing on the markets that are the most important from an economic perspective, also considered were markets that are emerging or are of particular interest to Italian operators in the sector.

The markets monitored

For each of the selected international markets, wine import trends will be monitored for 4 product categories (in addition to the total for all wines):

• Sparkling wines
• Bottled wines (excluding sparkling wines)
• Wines in containers with a capacity of > 2L and <10L (e.g. magnum, bag-in-box, etc.)
• Bulk Wines

 

For each product category considered in the individual markets under observation, monitoring of wine imports will follow the following methodological specifications:

• Analyses of values (euro), quantities (hectolitres) and prices (euro / litre, euro / bottle 0.75) of wine imports
• Monthly updates considering the cumulative period up to the latest month recorded (January 2016, January-February 2016, January-March-2016, and so on)
• Annual updates for the latest year for which data are fully available (compared to the previous year)

Besides examining the overall wine import trends in the country from time to time, for each product category – total wine, still bottled wine, sparkling wine, large formats, bulk wine – also the performances of the 5 leading exporting countries will be monitored (for example: trend in the quantities of sparkling wine imported by China during the period January 2016 -January 2015 by country of origin – France, Italy, Australia,…).

The ranking of the top 5 exporting countries in each target market and for each type of product (total wine, still bottled wine, sparkling wine, large formats, bulk wine) was calculated based on the values of imports from these countries (rather than quantities imported).

In the import markets where, for a specific product category (total wine, still bottled wine, sparkling wine, large formats, bulk wine), Italy does not appear among the top 5 exporters, the performances of Italian wines in any case have been monitored, providing data for Italy in addition to those reported for the leading 5 exporting countries.
