| Sumario: | Current wine marketing requires a rethinking of business strategy in order to increase
the current market share and international prestige. This paper provides a comparative
diagnosis of the positioning of Chilean wine in the European market, focusing on the
case of Germany. The working methodology was based on the registering and market
segmentation of the selection of wines on display on the shelves of supermarkets, hypermarkets
and specialty stores. Subsequently, a comparative analysis was performed in
order to evaluate the growth dynamism of this target market from 2001 to 2013. The
results show an increase from one period to another in the prices of national wines, and
both an increase in and diversification of the supply in the German market. Chile, with
its share in a wide range of prices, has become a more prominent competitor, and has
managed to attain higher price ranges as compared to 2001. Currently, when it comes
to Carmenere and Merlot, Chile appears as it is the only country offering this varietal in
the German market. This is a situation that should be strengthened using commercial
strategies that allow for a more aggressive positioning of this varietal. Lastly, it is
recommended to adopt a more aggressive positioning method for Chilean wine, using a
country-strategy that improves its long-term competitiveness. |
