Summary and extracts
1 Market Overview
1.1 Definition and presentation
Wine is an alcoholic beverage that is produced by fermenting (totally or partially) grapes, the fruit of the vine. The grapes once harvested through a process that takes place in the winery called winemaking are transformed into wine. There are different types of wine based on the type of grapes used and from the different process. Generally, wine is divided into the following categories: sparkling and sparkling wines, white wines, rosé wines, red wines and dessert wines.
As for the global wine market, this in the year 2020 came to be worth $417.85 billion and is expected to grow at a compound growth rate (CARG) of 6.4 percent between 2021 and 2028. The industry, despite steady growth, globally has been hit hard by the pandemic that forced bars and restaurants to be closed for long periods of time.
Italy has always been considered the world's leading country for the production of wine products given the wide variety of grapes the country offers. In 2018 alone, 50.4 million hectoliters of wine were produced in Italy, 19.8 percent of which went to global exports. The main countries to which Italy exports are the United States, England and Germany. During the pandemic, despite the losses recorded by bars and restaurants, large-scale distribution recorded a big growth in sales. In 2020, 7.9 million hectoliters of wine were sold in Italy, representing a growth of 6 percent compared to the year 2019.
The main trend within the wine market, favored in large part by the pandemic, is the continued growth of e-commerce. In fact, 27 percent of Italian consumers bought wine through an online platform in 2020. A second trend is the propensity for organic wine: Italy, right after Spain, ranks second to Europe in terms of organic vine supervines.
The best-known wineries in the Italian market and beyond are: Cantine Riunite & Civ, Caviro Group, Fratelli Martini and Cavit.
