5 INTRODUCTION Dear Friends: The Chilean wine industry has undergone numerous and profound transformations over the past 30 years its quality revolution led by the complete technological renovation during the 1980s, the export boom of the 1990s, and the new terroir developments during the 2000 decade. This transformation has allowed a new generation of talented viticulturists and winemakers to capitalize on Chile s viticultural paradise and to produce World Class Wines of unique character and personality. Chile is the world s eighth largest wine producer and the fifth largest exporter, reaching a market share of 8% by volume of the global international wine market at the close of However, and most importantly, Chile exports 70% of its wine production, making it the world s most globalized wine industry, with great flexibility, innovation, and a long-term commitment to quality and service second to none. With 150 destination countries and 1.5 billion 1 consumers per year, Chilean wines are positioned as the country s most emblematic and best known world ambassador. Despite this undeniable success, Chilean wines face very high levels of competition in the different world markets from many appellations and brands, and its average prices are substantially lower than those of its competitors. As a consequence, the industry s present profitability levels are low, and there is an urgent need to elevate our premium positioning and average prices to achieve a sustainable return in the long term. Making decisive progress toward positioning Chile as a world-class appellation for the production of premium and superior wines, gaining additional image and value is the only possible response to the competitive challenges we face today. This is a key requirement for the health and long-term sustainability of Wines of Chile. The Chilean wine industry s Strategic Plan 2020 delivers the guidelines for a vigorous ten-year course of international development and defines the industry s vision, mission, positioning, strategic objectives, necessary investments, opportunities, plans of action, and more. We have developed the Plan in conjunction with the wineries and key industry members, and with the conviction that we can and should advance toward a more significant participation in the world s premium wine segment. 1. This publication uses the American English definition of a billion (1,000,000,000), which corresponds to the British (and Spanish) thousand million.

6 We have set the objective of becoming the Number One producer of premium, sustainable, and diverse wines of the New World by 2020, increasing the value of bottled wine exports over the course of the decade to US$3 billion. This is based on the opportunities and capacities explained in the text and sustained by the historic growth of Chile s wine exports. We want to play a key role in Chile s progress. This is the best contribution we can make to the future of our country to transition to a modern, developed nation, eliminating poverty, and enhancing the well being and opportunities for all of our citizens. We are convinced of the enormous potential of Chile s wine industry, its importance at the global level as a world-class producer, and its multiplying effect on the image of Chile. Over the past decade, wine has become the major ambassador of Chile in the minds of foreign consumers as is reflected in the latest studies conducted by the Fundación Imagen de Chile regarding the perception and knowledge of our country in its principal markets of interest. Wine adds positive and valuable characteristics to the country image and facilitates the export of new products. In addition to the very positive effects the growth of our exports has had on our country s economy, Vinos de Chile A.G. and its various areas of work, Wines of Chile and the Vinnova and TecnoVid Technological Consortiums have been pioneers in associative work in key areas for the development of the country and the agricultural sector; international promotion and market development; research and development in viticulture, enology, and marketing; the wine industry s Sustainability Program, and social responsibility. The ongoing and generous contributions of strategic institutions has been essential in these initiatives, and we are grateful to ProChile, Corfo, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Fundación Imagen de Chile, whose support we value and will need in the future. We are confident this Strategic Plan will serve our wine industry and the government s promotional and development bodies to work together toward achieving the objectives, strategies, and commitments set forth, aligning our efforts to ensure their effectiveness. The success of the Plan depends upon it. The future looks promising for Wines of Chile and the overall development of the country. It is up to us to capitalize on our great opportunities. Viva Chile!

8 INDUSTRY DIAGNOSTIC

9 STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD WINE INDUSTRY Global Consumption The world consumes approximately 236 million hectoliters of wine each year. After eight years of growth, this level fell in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the world economic crisis. The European Union decreased its demand, which was partially compensated by an increase in demand from North America and Asia. GRAPH 1: WORLD WINE CONSUMPTION (THOUSANDS OF HL) Source: International Organization of Vine and Wine, 2010 ( Provisional 2009 Estimated Although the primary wine-consuming countries are France, United States, Italy, and Germany, the market trend has been toward a decreasing consumption in the large Western European producing countries and an increasing consumption in new consumer countries in Asia and Latin America, which still have a very low per capita consumption rate.

As a result, Spain, France, and Italy, the three countries with the largest plantations in the world, have reduced the number of hectares planted.

Hectares planted to white varieties decreased by 21% during the same time frame. It is important to note the relevance of rosé wines in the Argentine industry. Malbec continues to be the most planted varietal (25% of all reds), although Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah have also increased significantly (18% and 13%, respectively).

Italy s commercial balance in the wine industry is historically positive. Despite the success of its exports, however, it has also registered a significant increase in wine imports in recent years. Although it has a minor influence in the overall commercial balance, it makes Italy one of the largest importers in the world. It is interesting to note that Italian wine production has 470 appellations (denominations of origin), 316 of which are D.O.C., 35 D.O.C.G., and 119 I.G.T. There are 650,000 wine companies, 25,000 bottlers, and 678,868 hectares planted to vine. 50% of the Italian wine production is controlled by cooperatives. Its 2009 production was close to 46 million hectoliters, which is considerably lower than the average of the past five years. With respect to the regions, 60% of the production is concentrated in 4 of the 15 producing regions: Veneto (17.33%), Emilia Romagna (14.97%), Apulia (13.26%), and Sicily (12.49%).

39 CONSUMERS Wine Consumers According to our agents in the Chilean industry s primary target markets (United States, United Kingdom, and Canada) the main consumer-level trends in those markets are: A change in consumer habits. The new consumers are intelligent, they seek good value, and spend more time socializing at home, especially as a result of the economic crisis. They are trading down for personal consumption, but trading up with friends and family. For example, 53% of the consumers in the United States are dining at home more often. Television food channels and food-related blogs are increasing in popularity. Once the crisis has passed, we can expect that these consumers will return to higher priced wines, although they will not reach the same levels they did in the late 1990s and early 2000s. A new segment has appeared. The Millennials are consumers from 21 to 29 years of age and represent 70 million consumers in the United States alone. 40% of the wine they drink is imported. They learn and communicate on-line. These new consumers drive the new trends. Consumers will have greater access to a broader range of wines through new products and distribution channels, such as on-line sales. Consumers are increasingly more sophisticated and informed. They seek out natural, sustainable, and organic products. New trends lean toward wines with lower alcohol levels and a greater consumption of white and rosé wines. Social networks (Facebook, Twitter, and blogs) are increasingly important and allow low-cost, high-frequency communication with bloggers and consumers around the world.

This is consistent with the country image studies that conclude that Chile has a neutral or nil image among international consumers at the mass level. This implies that for mass consumers, Chilean wine is a product of unknown origin. We also discovered that although higher-income and more frequent wine consumers from the United States drink Chilean wines, they have a low affinity with the country. The cases of Italy and Australia stand out in that there is coherence between the positive perception of the country and regular consumption of wines from those regions.

41 SWOT ANALYSIS (STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND THREATS) OF THE CHILEAN WINE OFFER Strengths High potential for sustainable agriculture due to extraordinary phytosanitary and climatic conditions. Carmenere as a unique and differentiating element. Exceptional agro-climatic conditions allow for the development of a broad diversity of terroirs and varieties with fruit characterized by a very good concentration of aromatic components, acidity, and color. Excellent quality and high consistency in the wines. Excellent price-to-quality ratio in every price segment. Talent and quick ability for adaptation. Chile is a reliable commercial partner, a country that is open to the world, with stable economic and commercial policies, as well as a broad network of free trade agreements with all of its primary commercial partners. High diversification of target markets resulting from a committed industry focused on developing its capacities as an exporter. Weaknesses No existing country image, which makes us a product of unknown origin. Image as producers of good quality, low-priced wines. Excessively homogenous labeling that lacks clear category differentiation with inconsistent denominations of quality. Wines with naturally high alcohol levels in a context of growing concern for controlling alcohol consumption in our primary markets. Low level of penetration in the premium on-trade segment. The industry has a comparatively low level of financing and a limited structure for generic promotion, which hinders the entrance into relevant markets. Chile s distance from the primary world markets, such as Europe and Asia. Opportunities Consumers value unique and differentiating products. Growing consumer preference for products originating from clean agriculture that are environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. There is a strong connection between the Country Image and the Category Image. Chile s image is still a blank page, a story waiting to be told. Educated and informed consumers are willing to drink premium Chilean wines and recognize their excellent quality. That validation can come from traditional sources of influence, recommendations from social networks, friends, or direct experience. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 41

42 The new post-crisis consumers are intelligent and well-informed and seek value (price-quality ratio). There is a growing interest in products associated with Latin culture. There is a trend toward the consumption of wines with lower alcohol levels and an increasing preference for fresh wines. Consumers, especially the Millennials, are more sophisticated and willing to explore new alternatives. The explosion of social networks allows for high frequency, low cost communication and direct interaction with consumers around the world. Consumers value products that offer value through better or more attractive bottles, labels, closures, freshness, and product duration. Greater development of the internal market will contribute to a lower dependency on the type of exchange and a greater development of the sector. Emerging development of the Asian market, primarily due to the strong growth of China s middle class and the region s low per capita consumption. Threats Growing competition from New and Old World producing countries such as Argentina, Spain, and New Zealand with more aggressive programs in terms of price and/or promotion. Non-tariff barriers and increased taxes in the category in the major consumer markets. Excessive growth of bulk wines would make it difficult to improve the category image. The strengthening of the Chilean peso decreases the competitiveness of the Chilean wine industry. The increase in world production and a relatively constant level of consumption could lead to more aggressive discounting strategies. Potential for a failure of the industry to align itself with the strategy. 42 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

46 POSITIONING

47 COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT Our most important competitors will be New and Old World wine producers, and the benchmark will always be the most relevant country or countries in each target market. Our primary New World competitors are the United States, Australia, Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa. Our closest Old World competitors are France, Italy, and Spain. COMMUNICATIONS TARGET Opinion leaders and gatekeepers: specialized press, importers, distributors, on- and off-trade buyers, sommeliers, and lifestyle writers. Wine lovers: interested in wine without necessarily being experts. They value naturalness and purity in their wines; they enjoy discovering new wines and appreciate a good price-quality ratio (good value). They enjoy sharing their discoveries with friends and family, appreciate good quality of life, are young in spirit, and enjoy the Latin flare. Target consumers: young professionals from the top five wine consumer markets and slightly skewed toward a female public. They are Millennials, aspirational but not pretentious, include people between 21 and 45 years of age, and have medium to high income levels. INSIGHT Consumers seeking premium and superior wines are faced with too many alternatives from a wide range of origins; they are overwhelmed by a very broad selection of wines that seem very similar and lack sufficient differentiation one from the other. BENEFITS Chile offers premium and superior wines of exceptional quality that are diverse and sustainable with a unique consistency and availability and with the best price-to-quality ratio in the world. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 47

49 STRATEGIC PILLARS Diversity & Quality One of Chile s greatest strengths is its ability to produce a broad range of high quality wine varieties and styles as a result of its geographic diversity, privileged climates, and soils that stand out in the viticultural world. Its 14 distinct wine regions extend 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from north to south and have a combination of both coastal and Andean influences as well as perfect climatic conditions for producing high quality, healthy grapes.

50 Chile has exceptional climatic conditions for crop growth, such as scant rainfall during the growing season from December through the harvest, which allows for excellent grape ripening and healthy fruit with less danger of botrytis, and a broad daily temperature variation that encourages the concentration of aromatic components, especially in the grape skins, which in turn helps to obtain very high quality and intensely colored grapes. Source: Origo Ediciones In summary, Chile s privileged agro-climatic conditions make it a vitivinicultural paradise. Chile has an offer of quality with great potential for growth and sales, especially for Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Sauvignon Blanc, the cool-climate red varietals Pinot Noir and Syrah, and wines from old vines, such as Carignan. All of these varieties offer high quality, diversity, and excellent price to quality ratio in every price range. The industry should focus on continuous improvements in quality, a process that has been evident in the development and offer of Chilean wines over the last ten years. Buyers and consumers now recognize and appreciate the consistency and excellent price-quality ratio in every price range of Chilean wine, which must be maintained and strengthened. The justification and potential for each of these varieties will be presented in detail in section on Market Level Strategies (p 62). 50 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

51 Sustainability Chile is known for its privileged climate and a unique geography that combine to provide excellent conditions for growing grapes in a highly natural environment. However, not only does the Chilean wine industry wish to lead the way in creating a sustainable environment and setting examples for future generations of winemakers, it also wants to demonstrate this in a tangible way that can be understood by consumers. To this end, the industry has been working on a Sustainability Program for the Chilean Wine Industry under the auspices of Vinos de Chile and the Vinnova and TecnoVid Technical Consortiums. For Chile sustainability in the wine industry goes beyond sustainable viticulture. Sustainability means recognizing wine as part of a complete system that is not confined to the vineyard but that encompasses the winery, the employees, and the local community. The Wines of Chile Sustainability Program is a series of initiatives and projects that are intended to establish the sustainability of Chile s wine industry, which is understood as the convergence of production processes that are environmentally friendly, socially equitable, and economically viable. The program includes establishing a National Sustainability Code, accompanied by a series of specific projects that address key areas of sustainability. This Code is the cornerstone of the Sustainability Program. The system establishes the framework for the entire value chain of wine production and identifies the different practices that foster sustainability in each link of the chain. The Code establishes a common framework to guide all of our wineries toward increasingly sustainable practices. This Code will offer wineries the opportunity to measure their progress toward the use of more sustainable practices through recognized and validated accreditation or certification. Ensuring sustainability involves measuring traceability from vineyard to glass as well as creating rules and environmentally friendly solutions that are measurable and acceptable to the wine trade as a whole using independent, third-party evaluation and certification. An official logo will be created and used to provide tangible evidence that will help assure consumers of Chilean wine the world over that Chile makes natural wines in a responsible manner. The initiative began in April 2010 and includes projects to approach the complete concept of sustainability. The program includes: a. The Chilean Code for Sustainable Wine Production b. Projects related to key topics of the Code: i. Energy Efficiency, Climate Change, and the Carbon Footprint ii. Corporate Social Responsibility 1. Vinos de Chile Guide for Preparing Sustainability Reports 2. Vinos de Chile member winery Sustainability Reports a. Chilean Code for Sustainable Wine Production Under the auspices of Vinos de Chile and the Vinnova and TecnoVid technical consortiums, the University of Talca has been developing a Chilean code for sustainable wine production, a process that began in September 2008 with a number of Colchagua Valley wineries. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 51

52 The challenges faced by all winemakers world-wide are: Maximizing the production of high quality grapes at a reasonable cost; Improving system efficiency with little or no use of chemicals, fertilizers, and labor; Caring for the environment and the employees; and Working carefully and responsibly with the local community. Most vineyards in Chile are farmed conventionally, but an increasing number are converting to organic and even biodynamic principles. However, full certification of these processes can be costly and time consuming, and it is clear that consumers are not completely aware of the precise meaning of organic wine. Therefore, an integrated method is encouraged that aims to provide high quality fruit by giving priority to ecologically safer production methods, minimizing the undesirable effects of using agro-chemicals and improving environmental and community safeguards. The industry mantra is that wine production should be environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially equitable. Sustainable means recognizing wine as part of a system that is not confined to the vineyard but rather encompasses the winery, the employees, and the local community. Ensuring sustainability involves measuring traceability from the vineyard to the glass and creating rules and environmentally friendly solutions that are both measurable and accepted by the market using independent, third-party evaluations and certifications. The National Sustainability Code being created within the Chilean wine industry consists of three chapters: The Green Chapter covers activity in the vineyard itself and the viticultural practices used. It incorporates areas such as cover crops, pruning, soil nutrition, irrigation, and pest management, etc. The Red Chapter covers activity in the winery, offices, and surroundings and monitors winemaking practices, energy efficiency, water conservation, and solid and liquid waste management. The Orange Chapter covers air quality, human resources, and the relationship and interaction with neighbors and the local community. A number of protocols are being developed using these three areas of monitoring, and wineries will be given mean scores based on how they perform against these criteria. If they score above a given minimum level they will be entitled to use the Sustainability Seal of Approval. As part of the research process, 31 wineries from throughout the country were tested on the Green Chapter criteria in 2009, with very positive results and the majority scoring well above the ideal level. The Red and Orange Chapters will be reviewed in 2010, which will lead to the production of a working manual for winegrowers and for future consultation. Subsequently a third-party certification scheme will be developed and implemented, and finally an official logo will be created and used as tangible evidence that will help to assure consumers of Chilean wine the world over that Chile makes natural wines responsibly. 52 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

53 b. Projects Related to Specific Topics of the Code The Code also includes specific projects in the most relevant areas that it covers as a means of reaching concrete advances over the short and medium term. i. Energy Efficiency, Climate Change and the Carbon Footprint. The first topic chosen was energy efficiency in the winery and the carbon footprint, and a guide was prepared in September 2009 to help the wineries improve their energy efficiency and quantify their carbon footprints. This has helped Vinos de Chile member wineries take the first step toward quantifying their carbon footprint and gradually work toward its improvement. ii. Corporate Social Responsibility. The second topic chosen was Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the Vinos de Chile Guide for Preparing Sustainability Reports was released in April 2010 using the Global Report Initiative (GRI) methodology that adheres to international standards. This guide was prepared with a consultant recognized by the GRI. To complete the process at the winery level, the consortiums undertook a project in conjunction with the recognized consultant to prepare the Sustainability Reports for Vinos de Chile members. The project received governmental support, which will make it possible to provide training so the member wineries can prepare their Sustainability Reports using GRI methodology. This project began in April Country Image Studies that analyze consumers decision-making processes when purchasing wine in different markets consistently show that the enormous diversity of brands results in ORIGIN playing the role of the brand as a differentiator of quality. This phenomenon is particularly true when deciding to buy premium wines. It is crucial for Chile to sell more expensive wine, and to do so, it must have an image. Therefore, our possibility for continued growth greatly depends on how successful we are in positioning and strengthening both the Country Image as well as the category Wines of Chile. Wine is Chile s most emblematic product, the one that allows Brand Chile to reach millions of consumers homes in 150 countries and thereby contributes to a positive recall of Chile. Because Chilean wine is so strongly oriented toward the external market, it has become the country s primary ambassador and a unique vehicle for positioning the country image, which is understood as a strategic asset for the country and a facilitator in the introduction of new products. A good wine is associated with a country that is touristically attractive and that has high-quality cuisine, good agricultural practices, an identity, tradition, and sociable people who know how to have a good time and take advantage of the essential moments of life. Therefore, better development of the Wines of Chile category in the target markets means more and better positioning for Chile among the consumers in those markets. In this sense, there is a very high inter-relationship between the country image and the development of the Wines of Chile category. Each category Wines of Chile and the Country Image contributes to the development of the other, and the two should work in conjunction toward positioning and developing each other. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 53

54 WINES OF CHILE IMAGE COUNTRY IMAGE There is consensus in that the promotion of the image of Chile is a still-pending task that has just recently begun to be approached seriously and systematically through the creation of the Imagen de Chile Foundation in late Vinos de Chile values this important effort and actively supports its initiatives by integrating and coordinating its strategies and promotional programs into the generic efforts of developing the country image. Country Image & Wine Tourism There is no country with a strong and attractive country image that does not actively promote itself as a tourism destination. In consequence, tourism should be a central component of the efforts made to promote Chile s country image. The different sectors should encourage more knowledge of and interest in Chile as a tourism destination and creatively promote the national offer of wine and foods. In this context, wine tourism presents tremendous potential by bringing the development of the country image, tourism, and wine together synergistically, and as such it should be proactively developed by the wineries and tour operators. The changes in tourism that have taken place in recent years have made possible the appearance of new options that go far beyond the traditional sun and beach destinations to generate complementary routes to wealth and the creation of employment. Therefore, in addition to the classic interior cultural or rural destinations, new products are now emerging in response to the demands of certain sectors of the population. These new trends have brought about the creation of tourism routes, among which the wine routes stand out. Wine and tourism which includes local gastronomy operate in perfect symbiosis to provide visitors with the opportunity to experience a different type of tourism product, promote the economic development of Chile s wine regions through both cellar door wine sales and the business opportunities that arise. Wine tourism presents a complete sensorial experience that includes the pleasure of the aroma, flavor, feel, sight, and even sound of the wine. Any wine tourist, regardless of any prior knowledge of winemaking, can appreciate the palate of the different wines, the smell of the cellars, the way of holding a glass to taste a wine, the overall appearance of the winery, whether modern or traditional, or the sound of the cork being pulled from a good bottle of wine. 54 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

55 The clusterization of activities and attractions, as well as the development and promotion of tourism routes, stimulates cooperation and relationships among the different companies in rural areas. Tourism is therefore an alternative for employing strategies for economic and social development and regeneration in rural areas. As a model for sustainable economic and integrating development in specific areas, wine tourism is able to energize the competition in a given territory, increase and improve vitivinicultural production, respect the environment, and improve the living conditions of the local people. Furthermore, actively developing wine tourism allows for the diversification of sources of income and reduces the risks in the wine industry. It also particularly benefits the small and medium-sized companies that represent 68% of the wineries that offer some type of wine tourism. Finally, high quality wine tourism in which wine and culture are incentives for making the shift allow for increasing wine consumption and wine tourism in the domestic market. Innovation The industry has grown substantially over the years and has invested heavily in innovation and technology for decades to improve its production processes and standards. The results are reflected in the superior quality shown in our wines year after year in the different competitions and specialized publications. The industry is aware that maintaining a privileged place in the international context largely depends upon its ability to continuously innovate, create, and adopt new technologies. This prompted the wineries to associate with the universities in 2006 to create a unique institution of their own to make strides in the route to innovation. The Vinnova and Tecnovid technological consortiums are entities whose objective is to develop R&D projects that meet the needs of the wineries. These projects will be carried out by the technical experts from the universities in conjunction with the wineries and the results transfered to the sector for their prompt adoption. As the result of this trade unification, the Vinnova and Tecnovid technical consortiums work together, along with Chile s five major universities and more than 70 multidisciplinary researchers and in conjunction with all of the wineries. They began with US$10 million for five years and 24 projects that covered all of the areas, including viticulture, enology, environment, and marketing. The investment has increased in the past year and the project has been renewed for a second term. The needs of this second stage the Consortium 2.0 have already been determined by defining a strategic agenda for innovation with the wineries. The primary lines identified are genetic resources, sustainability, terroir, consumer preferences, and market intelligence. The new R&D projects are based on the same lines and incorporate major strategic alliances for collaboration, such as those made with the University of California at Davis and the Australian Wine Research Institute. The industry aims to be a source of innovation and competition by continuously strengthening the technological consortiums as a new model of innovation. Furthermore, the relevant norms and regulations in our target markets as well as the technologies for analysis and technical training needed will be monitored continuously in order to fully comply with the requirements in those markets. The technological consortiums will play a key role developing the necessary innovations and technological transfers. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 55

56 STRATEGIC PLAN 2020

57 GENERAL STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE Our objective is to grow at an annual average rate of 9.2% in value to reach the goal of US$3 billion in exports of bottled wine (FOB value) by This goal is based on the opportunities we see in the international market and supported by our historical growth presented in the table below. GRAPH 19: AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH OF BOTTLED WINE (VALUE) 35 33% 31% % 11% 9.2% 5 0 Growth Growth Growth Growth Projected Growth Source: Wines of Chile, 2010, based on information from Chilean Customs Office GRAPH 20: EVOLUTION OF HISTORIC & PROJECTED VALUE OF EXPORTS OF BOTTLED WINE (US$) 3,500,000,000 3,000,000,000 2,500,000,000 2,000,000,000 1,500,000,000 1,000,000, ,000, Source: Wines of Chile, 2010, based on information from Chilean Customs Office Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 57

58 The following table summarizes the situation at year-end 2009 and the objectives proposed for the industry for Source: Wines of Chile, 2009 TABLE 31: YEAR-END 2009 AND PROPOSED OBJECTIVES FOR 2020 OBJECTIVES Export Value (bottled wines) US$1.139 billion US$3 billion Annual Growth in Export Value 9.21% We have analyzed three alternatives for reaching the proposed goal that involve the following requirements with respect to volume and hectares: ALTERNATIVES GROWTH RATE FINAL PRICE FINAL EXPORT GROWTH RATE REQUIRED REQUIRED TOTAL HECTARES OF AVERAGE PRICE US$/CASE VOLUME (LT) OF AVERAGE KILOGRAMS HECTARES FOR REQUIRED/ VOLUME EXPORTED EXPORT GROWTH INTERNAL MARKET 1. Volume Growth: High Price Growth: Low 1.30% ,205, % 1,229,161, , , Volume Growth: Moderate Price Growth: Moderate 3.00% ,943, % 1,023,536,825 99, , Volume Growth: Low Price Growth: High 4.50% ,042, % 873,039,210 85, ,982 In addition to the number of hectares required for each alternative, we have added the hectares necessary to supply the internal market, assuming a conservative 1% increase in the internal market per year, similar to the growth in the national population. Therefore, if we assume a 1.3% annual growth in price (similar to that of the past 11 years), the volume must grow by a rate of 7.8% per year and reach 97.2 million cases in order to reach the proposed goal by Converting this to kilograms at a conversion rate of 1.4 kg/lt results in a need for billion kg, which requires 120,000 hectares (the average annual yield for the past five years has been 10,200 kg/ha). Adding this land to the 48,000 needed for the internal market lends a total of 167,000 hectares, 46,000 more than the current total. The requirements included are specifically to cover the requirements of bottled wine and the internal market, without including bulk or other areas. A slightly more aggressive growth in prices would generate a lower growth in volume, and so on. The following chart analyzes the minimum investment in fixed assets required for each alternative, assuming that the current export of bulk wine and the capacity associated with it will be converted to the production and export of bottled wine: 58 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

59 ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS INVESTMENT 1. Volume Growth: High 46,755 additional hectares Fixed Assets (one time): Price Growth: Low 213,000 liters Land & Planting: US$1.636 billion 8% of sales in marketing Winery: US$320 million Marketing (additional annual investment by 2020) US$240 million 2. Volume Growth: Moderate 26,677 additional hectares Fixed Assets (one time): Price Growth: Moderate 67,000 liters Fixed assets: US$934 million 10% of sales in marketing Winery: US$100 million Marketing (additional annual investment by 2020) US$300 millon 3. Volume Growth: Low 15% of sales in marketing Marketing (additional annual investment Price Growth: High by 2020) US$450 million Note: Cost per hectare = US$30,000 (US$20,000 for land + US$10,000 for planting). Winery = US$1.50/Lt. It is important to emphasize that the industry s current average investment in marketing with respect to sales is 7%. Alternative Number 1 requires the greatest investment and generates the least added value for the industry and therefore is not considered attractive. Although Alternative Number 3 requires a lower total investment, we believe that it is not feasible due to the current country image and positioning of our wines in the world context. Therefore, we consider Alternative Number 2 to be the most pertinent, with more reasonable requirements in volume and hectares. This alternative involves an approximate annual growth of 2,400 hectares per year for the next 11 years, or the equivalent of 1.9% of the current area planted. This increase is less than that of the past seven years, which is equivalent of 2.16%. Furthermore, we should also consider the potential conversion of vineyards currently dedicated to bulk wine or alternatively additional plantations. The following graph shows the historic and projected average growth in price and volume of bottled wine exports in accordance with the chosen scenario (Alternative Number 2: Moderate Growth in Price and Volume).

61 SPECIFIC STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Corporate Level Objectives Align the industry behind a unified message and strategy. Provide Wines of Chile (WoC) with the necessary resources to effectively and efficiently achieve the proposed objectives. Identify and correct gaps that inhibit competitiveness. Consolidate WoC as the representative of the Chilean wine industry, integrating the interests and needs of all of the parties involved in the industry. Market Level Objectives Create and clearly communicate a unique and differentiating identity for the category. Develop a more aggressive and focused investment plan with greater impact in target markets. Position Wines of Chile as world class appellation. Strengthen the country s image synergistically by integrating tourism, gastronomy, and wine. This new stage requires reaching the consumer, strengthening the use of new technologies and social networks, and acting strategically with below the line actions, public relations, and above the line actions through a global positioning campaign. STRATEGIC PLANS Details of the primary lines that will guide the organization and industry toward meeting the proposed objectives follow, divided into two levels corporate and market strategies. Corporate Level Strategies Prioritize the assignment of resources by market. Focus resources to have impact, differentiate markets by their potential, and develop commercial plans in accordance with the local reality. Build a relevant and differentiating image for Chilean wine. Each activity undertaken should reinforce the positioning developed in the Plan Develop market intelligence and monitoring. The objective behind this strategy is to contribute to making decisions by compiling and systematically analyzing information to improve diagnostic abilities in the markets and contribute to generating a vision of the future. This will help align the industry behind the strategy and represent an important added value for the smaller members. Ensure sufficient funding for WoC. In accordance with the analyses conducted, WoC s financing is inadequate for the level of competition that currently exists in the markets and compared with the resources of our direct competition. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 61

62 Incorporate the industry into the planning process and maintain ongoing communication regarding activities and results. Maintaining communication within the cluster will allow the different institutions and members to understand the industry s objectives, WoC s strategies and activities, and the results obtained. This will maintain better alignment and contribute to greater effectiveness of the strategy. Market Level Strategies Creating status for the Chile category to separate it from the New World or Others categories will require success in achieving recall and positive perception in the key segments (consumers, buyers, wine writers, distributors, importers, and other opinion leaders) of our priority markets by offering a diverse mix of products with respect to varieties and styles, with presence in different distribution channels with a special emphasis on on-trade and specialists and in different price segments, while focusing on the price range above US$10 retail per bottle. Product Emblematic Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon: leading variety Carmenere: differentiating; ambassador variety Sauvignon Blanc: leading white variety Others Syrah and Pinot Noir: from coastal and cool-climate areas Carignan: Niche opportunity for dry-farmed old-vine wines Cabernet Sauvignon is Chile s primary variety and represents 35% of the total plantations and 23% of national exports of bottled wine. No other country in the world has more Cabernet Sauvignon planted than Chile. Given the importance of this varietal in Chilean wine, its high quality, the level of renown achieved by Chilean Cabernet Sauvignons, and the varietal s good penetration in our consumer markets, it is considered a varietal whose future development should be maintained. Today, however, 15 years after its rediscovery, Carmenere presents tremendous opportunities and should play a central and strategic role in the industry s efforts for positioning and the development of the category. Carmenere is considered to be Chile s emblematic variety. Although it is neither the most widely produced nor the most sold varietal in Chile (it represents 6% of the plantations and bottled exports), it is the varietal that most differentiates and identifies the county. Among Chile s primary varietals, Carmenere has grown the most in surface area planted in the past ten years and was the only one to increase its average price in 2009, despite the economic crisis. This is a clear recognition of the improvements made in its quality and the increased consistency of the wines made from the variety. Its advantages include the fact that it is different and sexy within an offer of globalized varietals, with a quality potential in line with the tastes of today s consumers, and that already has the backing of influential international publications and competitions. It is nearly exclusive to Chile and is globally considered to be a Chilean variety. It stands out in blends as well as a monovarietal. It is versatile in food pairing and in line with the national image strategy. 62 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

63 Among its weaknesses is the fact that its quality is still inconsistent at the entry-level price range, which could create a poor reputation. Care must also be taken to avoid planting it in inappropriate sites and then attempting to override vegetal notes with excess ripeness, thereby losing its own Carmenere character. The opportunities for Carmenere include the excellent momentum that it has already achieved through the high scores it has received as a monovarietal and in blends with high Carmenere content, some of which have earned some Chile s highest scores. Chile has excellent terroirs for producing high quality Carmenere, which offers a differentiating and unique element and that will allow it to be positioned as Chile s emblematic variety. Given this context, Carmenere should be promoted as Chile s emblematic, differentiating varietal and the ambassador for high quality Chilean wine. To achieve that, we recommend: Continue investing in research to identify terroirs and planting Carmenere in appropriate places to obtain high quality Premium wine that is free of predominant green notes. Avoid producing and selling Carmenere if the price-quality ratio does not contribute to the positioning of the prestige that must be associated with the varietal. Focus on the Premium and Superior price ranges. Maintain a distinctive style Carmenere s own DNA. Agree to label the variety as Carmenere, without accents and eschewing other spellings that make for inconsistent pronunciation and to claim the variety as an exclusively Chilean grape. Carmenere should be a pillar of commercial strategy and included in the development of Chile s national image. Additionally, Chile should actively promote its Sauvignon Blanc among the white varieties due to the country s innate conditions for producing fresh, high-quality wines with good acidity, which has already been recognized by the specialized press and consumers alike. The supply of Sauvignon Blanc is limited and our primary competition is New Zealand, which makes it a less competitive niche than other varieties. Exports of Sauvignon Blanc have grown more in both value and volume than any other variety in Chile over the past seven years. Market growth in the United Kingdom has been dominated by white wines, and three-quarters of the retail sales of Sauvignon Blanc come from Chile and New Zealand. Sales in the United States are highly dynamic as well. It is essential to take advantage of the growth in Chile as a product of the growing demand it has experienced in the primary target markets. It bears noting that because of its hemispherical counter-seasons, Chile is able to supply Sauvignon Blanc of the same year to markets in the northern hemisphere during its summer season, thereby contributing a product with tremendous freshness with an excellent price-quality ratio. Chile also has the advantage of being able to offer high quality young wines during the same year they are made, which presents significant benefits in terms of income flow and profit. We consider it relevant to promote Sauvignon Blanc from cool-climate valleys as well as those sold at more than US$40 FOB. Although higher priced wines are more difficult to sell, they are key to the image of Chile for this variety. It is also important to take advantage of the opportunities we have for developing Syrah and Pinot Noir, particularly in coastal and cool-climate areas, especially given increasing consumer preference for fresh wines with lower alcohol levels. Furthermore, it is to our advantage to promote wines made from dry-farmed old vines, such as Carignan from Maule. This is yet another way to emphasize Chile s ability to offer a broad range of natural wines of origin with diverse styles and exceptional quality. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 63

64 As a complement to the above, it is worth noting that the development of the afore-mentioned varieties and styles takes place within the context of an ongoing process of exploration of and experimentation with Chile s climatic and geographic frontiers that have made it possible to continue expanding into new vitivinicultural areas, both to the north and south as well as toward the coastal and Andean areas. In this process of discovery and learning, the concepts and importance of regionality and origin have also been fully internalized by the wineries and their winemakers in large companies as well as in smaller personal and artisanal projects. It is no longer enough to offer wines with tremendous quality and diversity; today Chile must also offer wines with their own identity: wines of origin, honest wines that are an expression of pure fruit and its terroir.

The future of Chilean wine depends on its evolution beyond the concept of value, a factor that has made it impossible to develop the industry s full potential. Chile has potential for growth in terms of added value, as New Zealand and other recognized appellations around the world have done. With this in mind, we propose directing WoC s investment toward the segment of retail prices over US$10 (FOB greater than US$35 per case) as a reference in the US markets. Lower price segments require higher economies of scale in which not everyone can participate and that do not have a sustainable added value, and therefore additional investment in generic marketing is not justified in that segment. In 2009, the segment of FOB greater than US$35 represented just 21% of the volume of bottled wine exported and 39% of the value. The plan is aimed at increasing this value and participation.

66 Target Markets Having analyzed five key variables maturity, potential sales of fine wine, market size, consumer type, and potential for growth the Wines of Chile 2020 Strategic Plan recommends focusing on the following markets in the order presented: MARKET MATURITY SALES POTENTIAL MARKET CONSUMER GROWTH FOR FINE WINE SIZE TYPE POTENTIAL United States Medium High High Aspirational High Canada Medium High Medium Aspirational High Asia Low High High Aspirational High Brazil Medium High High Aspirational High Europe High Medium-Low High Traditional & Connoisseur Low Annex 2 presents a brief analysis of each of these markets Relevant aspects to consider United States: the focus will be on the states of New York-New Jersey-Connecticut, California, Florida, Illinois, and Texas. Canada: the primary objective in this market is to convince the monopolies to open more space in the category to allow for greater participation in the market. To do that, it is necessary to undertake actions with the existing wineries to enliven the category. A more dynamic category should result in more listings and the entrance of new participants. Asia: the focus will be on Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and China (Shanghai and Beijing), with a regional headquarters in an as yet to be defined location. The actions will be focused on each market, given the large differences between them (culture, growth curves, and levels of penetration of wine and the Chile category). Europe: relevant markets will be addressed through the WoC Europe office based in the United Kingdom. Channels Creating category status for Chile also demands achieving greater presence in the different distribution channels, with particular emphasis on the on-trade and specialists. Chile already has a strong presence at the supermarket level, which it must maintain and strengthen by increasing and improving the product mix toward premium wines. However, Chile is under-represented in the on-trade and specialist channels, both of which are key for consolidating an image of quality and the sale of wines of greater value. The following strategies will be used to penetrate the respective channels: On-Trade: seek to stimulate demand through greater exposure and education. This requires creating and nurturing relationships with members of the on-trade, generating interest in and providing the opportunity to try Chilean wines, and reinforcing the use of this information as sales arguments. Specific actions will be sought out in each target market to leverage this channel. Off-Trade (supermarkets and specialized shops): stimulate demand through education and promotions. Educate the distributors, reinforce the Outstanding Value in all Price Ranges message, and lend support at points of sale. Concrete actions such as promotions with the relevant monopolies, specialized shops, and supermarkets will also be taken to develop the image of the category, with emphasis on wines over US$ Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

67 Promotion The aim is to improve positioning in key segments (press, buyers, sommeliers, and consumers) through a series of educational programs, press coverage, and the development of the County Image aligned with the desired positioning. In this new stage of moving toward 2020, the industry s promotional efforts should aim at both the opinion leaders and gatekeepers as well as the final consumers. The explosive development of information technologies and the widespread expansion of social networks in our major consumer markets not only make it possible to communicate directly with a large number of our potential consumers at a very low cost, but also to establish a direct dialogue with them and participate in their conversations among peers and members of their networks of interest. This new ability substantially modifies the traditional of paradigms of communications and brand building from a passive unidirectional model to one that is multidirectional characterized by networks and a multiplicity of simultaneous conversations. In this context, the active participation of Wines of Chile and the wineries in the different social network platforms and wine and lifestyle blogs, along with the development of powerful, attractive, and highly interactive web sites become an immediate requirement for the industry. The key to relevance in this context, however, will be the ability to be perceived and validated as an honest and authentic voice of Chile, its wines, its producers, and its people. We also plan to focus activities on certain consumer segments to support and capitalize on the direct access to and communication with our target consumers. In addition to intensifying Wines of Chile s presence and participation in the electronic media, social networks, and consumerfocused actions, we will continue developing promotional actions that are largely centered on educating and influencing the gatekeepers the importers, distributors, specialized press, on- and off-trade buyers, sommeliers and opinion leaders. These actions include: Bringing journalists, buyers, and sommeliers to Chile Conducting tastings and seminars On-line blogger tastings International trade fairs Publication of inserts and newsletters Advertising in wine and lifestyle press On-trade promotions Point of sale promotions Annual Wines of Chile Awards Innovation Awards Sommelier Summit Development and publication of market intelligence Sponsoring events Web site Finally, in the upcoming stage we will accompany these promotional actions with significant investment in advertising and inserts in the major media and magazines in the target markets. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 67

68 Understanding that there is a close relationship between Country Image and Category Image, the process of positioning wine also includes incorporating the differentiating attributes of the country and its geography, culture, and people as a means of extending an invitation to experience Chile and its wines. By promoting Chile, we promote our wines, and conversely, by promoting our wines, we also promote Chile. ACTION PLAN With the objective of taking advantage of and acting upon the opportunities identified in the diagnostic, the following Action Plans have been developed. OPPORTUNITY Consumers seek unique, high-quality wines and are increasingly more sophisticated and informed. ACTION PLAN Promote premium Carmenere as a unique and differentiating element. Sophisticate the message: Today Chile offers the world not only high quality wines and diversity, but wines with identity as well: wines of origin, honest wines, wines that are a pure expression of their fruit and terroir. Promote dry-farmed, old-vine Carignan as an example of the constant ability to surprise and discover many different high quality products. Create a road show type program with Chile s best red and white wines: WoC Premium Wine Summit. Emphasize origin and regionality in the more developed markets. Define activities for the priority varieties that will allow us to educate consumers about them and increase their presence in the target markets. There is growing consumer preference for products from sites with green agriculture, sustainable environment, and that are socially responsible. There is a strong connection between the County Image and the Category Image. Chile s image today is a blank page, a story waiting to be written. Emphasize the natural aspects of Chilean wine and environment; communicate environmental leadership and social responsibility in the industry. Create a relevant and differentiating country image in the premium segment. Work with the Imagen de Chile Foundation so that its programs and actions cover the priority markets defined in this plan and ensure coordination between the Foundation and our own promotional strategies. Promote tourism in general and wine tourism in particular. Show culinary and wine-related traditions. 68 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

69 OPPORTUNITY Educated, informed consumers are willing to dink premium Chilean wines and recognize their quality. This validation can come from traditional influencers, recommendations from social networks or friends, or from direct experience. ACTION PLAN Work to obtain greater credibility in high quality wines from traditional influencers. Actively participate in the social networks in which our target consumers participate and receive their information, thereby establishing Wines of Chile as an honest and credible voice on the offer of quality and diversity of Chilean wine. Facilitate occasions for consumer tastings, consumption, and education. Show the character and identity of the winemakers. Develop more Brand Ambassadors and globally recognized brands. The new post-crisis consumers are intelligent, informed, and seek value (price-quality ratio). Consumers are socializing more at home: trading-down for personal consumption while trading-up with friends and family. Communicate Chile s value: excellent price-quality ratio in every price segment. Seek out new ways to entertain and educate consumers at home. Growing interest in products associated with Latin culture. Trend toward the consumption of wines with less alcohol and a growing preference for fresh wines. More sophisticated consumers who are willing to explore new alternatives, especially the Millennial segment. Explosion of social networks allows direct low cost, high frequency, and world-wide communication and interaction with consumers. Consumers value products that offer value through better or more attractive labeling, packaging, closures, freshness, and production duration. Emphasize the sophisticated Latin origin and identity. Highlight coastal and cool climate wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc in white and red Pinot Noir and Syrah in reds. Be proactive in promoting and adopting self-regulation in matters of labeling and protection of public health. Directly go after the Millennial segment through dialogue and education, using social networks, blogger tastings, and testing opportunities. Actively participate in the social networks in which our target consumers participate and inform themselves, thereby establishing Wines of Chile as an honest and credible voice with respect to the quality and diversity of Chilean wine. Make greater efforts to innovate labels, packaging, closures, and enological practices. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 69

70 STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF THE INDUSTRY

71 ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE One of the Chilean government s current policies aims to convert Chile into one of the world s top ten exporters of food products over the course of the next ten years. The wine industry is doing its part to achieve this goal, as Chile is now the fifth largest wine exporting country on the globe. In recent decades Chile s food and agriculture sector has been deploying a successful strategy of internationalization, which has become a pillar of the agro-export basket and of the country s economic development. Our fruits and vegetables, wine, seeds, and agricultural and forestry products reach hundreds of countries around the world and provide employment to more than 800,000 people. Wine exports make up 2.6% of Chile s total exports and 14% of exports in the forestry-agriculture-livestock sector (2009 figures). The sector has more than 260 companies with annual exports greater than US$50,000, 21% of which export more than 100,000 UF (aprox. US$4.2 million) per year. This means that the majority 79% of Chile s wine exporters are small and medium sized companies. Chile produces an average of 887 million liters of wine per year 1, 70% of which is for export markets, which have grown steadily in value by 11% per year. These exports are sent to 150 countries, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada being the most important markets. From a domestic perspective, the wine industry operates in several regions of the country, from the Coquimbo Region in the north to the Araucanía Region in the south. The Maule and O Higgins regions have the greatest concentration of area planted to vine (53.4%), although the Metropolitan, Valparaíso, and Biobío regions also have a significant amount. The industry s continuous development and geographic diversification have attracted both domestic and foreign investment to historically less-developed zones such as the Maule Region, which had previously been overlooked as an area worthy of investment. This development has also benefited the many agents involved in the value chain, including suppliers of materials, technology and complementary services, and particularly the large number of grape growers, most of whom are small producers. At the same time, the wine industry continues to be a major source of tax revenue for the government through the Alcohol Law (ILA). Over the past 5 years ( ), the Wine ILA accounted for an average of 0.21% of the country s total tax revenue. In 2009 alone, the Wine ILA generated tax revenues of US$58 million. TABLE 32: TAX COLLECTED UNDER THE ALCOHOL LAW Wine ILA (millions of US$) Total ILA (millions of US$) % 17% 21% 20% 18% 17% 16% 17% Equivalent Contribution of Wine in millions of US$ 1.

72 Finally, the emerging wine tourism industry is opening up a new area of business that has great potential, as it offers high quality employment that not only diversifies risks and sources of revenue, but also fosters more comprehensive and sustainable development in the regions and communities in which these services are located. SOCIAL ROLE Employment is the primary driver of social development in any country. The Chilean wine industry directly employs more than 100,000 people and accounts for 13% of all jobs in the agricultural sector. With growth in production of 136% over the past ten years alone and high expectations for the coming decade, the industry expects to take an even more leading role in employment and social development. Indeed, embedded in a globalized, highly competitive world, the industry is leading the transformation of Chile s agriculture and food sector in terms of labor development by implementing actions and projects aimed at supporting wine industry workers and their families in three specific areas. Employment Training Through a tax incentive from SENCE, the Chile Vinos OTIC has trained 17,700 people since 2002 (6,500 in the past 18 months alone). In all, 86 companies have participated in this process and close to 4,000 courses have been taught. The result is better trained workers who are aware of and value their skills, which ensures that they are able to successfully face the challenges of their day-to-day duties to the benefit of themselves and their companies. Skills Certification Since 2004 the Asociación de Vinos de Chile A.G, in partnership with Fundación Chile and the National Training and Employment Service (SENCE), has been implementing a project to design, validate, and disseminate a system for certifying work skills among wine industry workers. As of June 2010, a total of 2,250 workers had been certified under this project. The participants not only earned official recognition of their technical skills from government and industry, but also increased their employability and obtained access to new opportunities. Social Grants Approximately 200 grants are awarded each year to micro-business owners and unemployed workers to fund training in a wide variety of skills and trades, not all of which are necessarily related to the wine industry. 72 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

73 LEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP The wine industry, led by Vinos de Chile and its different divisions (Wines of Chile, the Vinnova and TecnoVid technological consortiums, internal market, and the legal department) has been a pioneer in partnership, collaborating in key areas that foster national development, particularly in the agriculture-livestock-forestry sector. Among other things, its efforts have focused on international promotion and market development; research and development in winegrowing, winemaking and marketing; the Wine Industry Sustainability Program; and social responsibility. Due to their many benefits, we also hope to see more public policy incentives and awards that promote partnerships. THE WINE INDUSTRY S CONTRIBUTION TO DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY IMAGE More than other Chilean products, wine reaches millions of homes and consumers around the world with a well-identified country brand that associates the name Chile with quality and diversity. This makes the brand a unique vehicle for positioning the country s image, which is considered one of the nation s strategic assets and also facilitates the introduction of new products and services. In 2009, Chile exported 42 million cases of wine, the equivalent of 510 million bottles. From a conservative perspective, each bottle is seen by at least 3 people, which means that the Brand Chile reaches 1.5 billion people each year. Assuming a moderate cost of US$0.85 2, which is the average cost per contact on the Internet in the United States, the value of this impact is US$1.275 billion per year. Developing the Chilean Wine (Wine of Chile) category in the priority markets defined in this Plan will improve and expand Chile s position in the minds of consumers. Positioning Chile as a country that produces high quality wines will reinforce the country s positive attributes such as good agricultural practices, high quality cuisine, attractiveness as a tourist destination, a country with its own identity and traditions, a good quality of life, and a sociable people who know how to enjoy themselves and make the most of special occasions, among other qualities. 2.

74 MICROECONOMIC INDICATORS FOR THE WINE INDUSTRY The wine industry is facing extremely high levels of competition from the wide array of appellations and brands now on the market, as well as low profitability, which is far below that of other productive sectors. According to public information obtained from the Santiago stock exchange, listed wine sector companies reported an average return on sales over the past ten years of 7.8% annually and just 5.6% over the past five years. The most important indicator return on equity averaged 8.3% per year over the past ten years and just 6.2% over the past five years. In closing, comparing these low return indicators and the meager 1% rise in the average price of bottled wine over the last ten years with the 9.2% annual growth in the volume of exports of bottled wine over the same period, we can conclude that Chile s wine industry has a problem of profitability but not of sales. To ensure the industry s sustainability over the medium and long term requires improving profitability. To achieve this, any increase in the volume of wine exported must be accompanied by higher price levels, which will require a collective public-private commitment to promote Chile s wines and country image according to the objectives defined in this 2020 Strategic Plan. CONCLUSIONS The wine industry is one of the pillars of Chilean agriculture and of the country as a whole. In addition to its importance for exports and investment, its impact on employment, personal and professional development, the country image, and in facilitating new Chilean exports make it one of the most emblematic sectors of our economy. Notwithstanding the above, the wine industry suffers from low rates of return compared to other productive sectors, despite having an attractive growth potential. Further development of the sector will depend on raising Chile s position as a country of origin for premium wines, and this task will require commitment and support from both the public and private sectors and, once achieved, will benefit the country as a whole. 74 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

Furthermore, it will take a significant increase in our promotional efforts to simply maintain the current market share. Beginning from a low level of structural funding, the organic growth of resources destined for international promotion does not make it possible to face the challenges detailed in this Strategic Plan for Even less so within a context characterized by the very high levels of international competition, the strengthening of emerging players (Argentina), the fall of formerly solid producers (Australia, France), and the rise of new players (Brazil, Uruguay, China, Eastern Europe), and Europe s expected reaction to the increased competition from strong subsidies and deregulation. As an industry we have set a new collective goal that seeks to reach $US3 billion in exports of bottled wine by the year This plan represents the waybill and strategy for the industry, and now we must back it with the means that will allow us to reach that goal. Wines of Chile needs to double its current levels of investment in promoting the category in order to implement its Strategic Plan This will require an increase in the contributions from the industry, but we also expect due to the important contribution that promoting wine makes to the positive development of the country s image and collective development to receive a significant increase in governmental funding, primarily through ProChile, Corfo, and the Imagen País Foundation. We want to be a strategic partner with the government in implementing its public policies aimed at improving the image and competitiveness of the foods Chile exports and the tourism services it offers, as well as in economic and rural development policies, particularly those aimed at small and medium sized companies. 78 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

79 PROJECTED INVESTMENT & FUNDING SOURCES The investment plan that WoC proposes considers the following: Beginning in 2011: Open a Wines of Chile office in Asia. Conduct programs in priority markets. Undertake media campaigns in priority markets for a total annual investment of US$1.5 million for the first two years, with a maintenance program in the remaining years. Industry investment will be the equivalent of 7% of its exports of bottled wine in marketing and promotional efforts. Total WoC investment will fluctuate between 20 and 24 cents (US) per case.

81 RETURN ON INVESTMENT Wine is one of the few Chilean products to reach the end consumer labeled Brand Chile, which makes it a unique vehicle for positioning the country image and a strategic asset for Chile that facilitates the introduction of new products. Chilean wine reaches millions of homes and consumers around the world and therefore contributes to the positive recall of the country. Greater development of the category in the target markets means more and better positioning of Chile with the consumers of those markets. This proposal therefore supports positioning the country image through wine, Chile s most natural ambassador and a unique vehicle for associating the attributes of quality and diversity with the origin Chile, while contributing to increasing possibilities of exports and other areas. Chile exported 42 million cases 510 million bottles in Employing conservative criteria, we can assume that each bottle is seen by at least 3 people, which means that Brand Chile reaches 1.5 billion people each year. Considering a moderate cost of US$.853 3, which is the average cost per Internet contact in the United States, the impact value is equivalent to US$1.275 billion per year. Projected sales for 2020 are US$3 billion, the equivalent of 80.9 million cases, million bottles, and billion contacts. Based on 2010 costs, the value of Brand Chile reaching that many contacts is US$2.475 billion. It is clear that both the generic and industrial investment, along with stimulating higher average prices and increased sales, generates a positive additional impact in the development of the country image, whose value is far superior to the investment made. 3.

82 MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM

83 It is vitally important to have an objective method for measuring the progress of the implementation of the strategy. To do so, we have defined a series of corporate- and market-level management indicators to be reported periodically, as described below.

87 EUROPEAN UNION In April 2008 the European Council of Ministers decided to reform the Common Market Organization for wine to reduce over-production and make European wines more competitive. The European Commission considered that European wine producers were at a disadvantage in relation to their competitors, as their smaller size made them less able to adapt to the needs of large retailers, especially given current regulatory restrictions and market inefficiencies. They also considered other issues such as strong competition from New World countries, confusing labeling rules, and rigid winemaking practices, etc. The new rules therefore aim, among other things, to establish measures to support the sector. For the specific case of promoting European wines in third-country markets, this support consists of measures to generate information or promotions that improve the competitiveness of European wines. Contributions from the European Community for promotional activities may not exceed 50% of eligible expenses (public relations, promotional activities and advertising, participation in trade fairs and studies, etc.), and the other 50% contributed by the country of origin, normally through state and regional support. Only 77% ( 35 million) was spent on these activities in Of that amount, 52% was allocated to France, 20% to Spain, and 14% to Italy. The remaining portion was divided among Germany, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Romania. The European Commission has formulated an ambitious promotional plan for , as detailed below. The values shown represent 100% of the potential investment, which includes 50% support in contributions from the European Union and the other 50% in private and public contributions from each individual country.

88 SOPEXA France has numerous generic plans to promote its different regions, and all of the programs receive governmental support. Although Sopexa was created as a governmental office, it is now a private entity dedicated to promoting wine and is one of several public relations organizations in France that carries out this work. The organization actively promotes French wines within the European Union and beyond by channeling resources to France Agrimer (the French Association of Horticultural Products and Wine). It has 280 members and maintains 35 offices in 28 countries and conducts activities in approximately 50 countries. Its shareholders include the Crédit Agricole Bank with a series of inter-professional committees. ICE This organization is Italy s generic presence in the world. It is a government agency whose objective is to promote Italian exports and foster business opportunities and industrial cooperation between Italy and other countries. Funding for its activities comes from the country s Ministry of Foreign Trade, which establishes guidelines and plays a mainly supervisory role, and from companies that make use of its services. ICE is not only involved in food and wine but in all Italian products. In practice, promotional initiatives aimed specific markets are handled by the region involved, a producers association, or a consortium, each with its own budget and independent operation. These organizations generally use ICE because it has 115 offices in 86 countries and is present at most trade fairs. As with France, Italy has no common plan and there is little coordination. With 700 employees in its head office and 25 independent food and wine sectors, ICE has difficulty with internal coordination and in organizing the Italian wine industry. In practice, it offers little more than logistic support. SPAIN ICEX While Spain has very active generic regional bodies such as those of Rioja and Vinos de Jerez, Wines from Spain has achieved a cohesive presence. ICEX currently initiates most activities. It is part of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce. Activities are usually 70% financed with state funds and 30% user-pays (importers and wineries). RIOJA The Rioja Regulatory Council was established in 1953 and became the entity responsible for ensuring compliance with the regulations of the Rioja Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.Ca), promoting and controlling the quality of wines under its purview, promoting the region s image, and, in the socio-economic sphere, defending the sector s interests by encouraging initiatives to establish inter-professional agreements. The activities of the Regulatory Council are financed by contributions made by the winegrowers and wineries registered with this organization. These contributions consist of the following: Mandatory fees based on the value of production Mandatory fees on products Mandatory fees for certified values Mandatory fees for back labels and seals For 2010, the Rioja D.O.Ca. will invest 10 million in developing promotional plans to be implemented in the countries with the largest consumption of Rioja wine: Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Switzerland, Sweden and 88 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

89 Mexico. The central objective of the Rioja wine sector is to promote the collective Rioja brand in its primary markets and to strengthen the positioning of wines with this denomination in both Spanish and foreign markets. WINES OF SOUTH AFRICA Working with one of the lowest budgets, this entity carries out more than 300 activities each year. These are primarily funded through a tax. Producers also pay to participate in the events. It is primarily dedicated to development, and it finances, implements, and manages the online certification system used by the Department of Agriculture. Its only foreign office is in the United Kingdom. NEW ZEALAND WINE GROWERS This organization is funded through a wine tax of euros per liter, and a 0.75% tax on the value of the grapes. While this organization has the lowest budget in absolute terms, it organizes more than 100 events annually in 15 countries. The majority of its resources are spent on market information, training, on-trade initiatives, in-store promotions, press clippings, public relations, and promotional material for events. This entity has two offices, one in New Zealand and another in the United Kingdom that oversees all of the European Union markets. It also works with consultants in San Francisco and Canada. WINES OF ARGENTINA This organization is composed of 200 wineries representing 95% of Argentina s wine exports. Its 2010 budget was 22 million Argentine pesos, 5 million of which came from membership dues, 6 million from user-pays, 10.6 million from Coviar (Corporación de Vino Argentina), and the rest from other organizations (Consejo Federal de Inversiones, Turismo). Coviar is funded through the 2.5% return on export taxes. Considering the May 2010 exchange rate of 3.86 pesos per US dollar, this organization s budget amounts to US$5.7 million. These resources are primarily used to promote the country brand and do not consider the operational costs of its offices. The total investment is estimated to be US$7 million. It conducts 240 activities per year. Of its total budget, 33% will be spent on promotion in the United States, one of the countries with the greatest potential, followed by Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil and the Netherlands. The primary focus of the 2010 campaign is the consumer. According to Wines of Argentina, this is primarily due to the degree of maturity that the brand has achieved.

90 WINE INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA Funding for this institution comes from the US Department of Agriculture, complemented by a fee charged to member wineries. It maintains offices in The Hague, Bremen, London, Canada, and Tokyo, as well as agencies in Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Mexico, and Asia. Its offices also operate as agents, offering assistance to retailers and importers searching for suppliers. WINES OF AUSTRALIA The Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation is a public authority established by decree in 1981 to provide strategic support to the country s wine sector. Its responsibilities include: Domestic and international marketing of the category Sector analysis and information Upholding the integrity of labeling and Australian enological practices Safeguarding the name of wine-producing areas Assisting in the negotiation of bilateral agreements This organization s main shareholders are the government of Australia, wine and brandy producers that pay a tax on grape production, and exporters that pay an export tax. This institution is financed by taxes and by the sale of goods and services. Of the $15 million Australian it received in 2009, 53% came from taxes and contributions, and the remainder from the sale of goods and services. 90 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

92 ANNEX 2 ANALYSIS OF TARGET MARKETS 92 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

93 UNITED STATES The United States has seen continuous growth in its wine consumption over the past ten years and reached 323 million 9-liter cases in Although this figure is only inferior to France and very similar to that of Italy, its per capita consumption is much lower than the other countries. Considering the adult population alone, consumption is 13 liters per person per year, and increases to 37 liters among the segment of regular wine drinkers the 74 million people who drink wine at least once a month. This figure is quite low when compared to England, where 70% of the adult population regularly consumes wine. It is a relatively young market in which the culture of wine is new for the average North American. Its potential for growth is therefore significant. Wine consumption is not homogenous across states. Consumption is habitual on the east and west coasts and in some states in the interior of the country. It is also more frequent in the cities and in more cultured segments of the population with greater purchasing power. The graph below shows the states and regions with the highest wine consumption, as well as the percentage of imported wine consumed in selected cities and the percentage of Chilean wine imported by those same areas.

94 Nearly three-quarters of the wine consumed in the United States is of national origin. It is the world s fourth largest producer with a market share of 7.9% and produced an average of close to 2.5 billion liters in recent years. Production is concentrated in California (89%), followed by the state of New York (4.4%), and the state of Washington (3.1%). The remaining states produce approximately 3% of the national total. The market share of imported wines was 25.3% in 2009, and Italy, France, and Australia stand out among them. Chile ranks fourth and presents an upward trend in its market share. It is important to emphasize that the Chilean market increased its share in the imported wine segment by 10% in 2009, as opposed to just 7% in Chile is one of the few countries that saw positive figures in 2009, as well as growth that outranks the market.

In terms of value, 52.3% was through off-premise and 47.7% through on-premise. Finally, other important aspects worth highlighting are consumption by price range and variety. Over the past two years, sales in food stores show the consumer trend toward consuming lower-priced wines. In the everyday wine category, wine up to US$7 per bottle leads purchases; in 2009 this category grew by 2%, or 913,000 cases. This segment includes the first three price ranges, which represents 72% of all sales.

Although medium-sized companies have all but disappeared, some small, boutique-type importers remain in the market. With respect to the distributors, a decade of consolidation has reduced the access to the market through the traditional channels for medium and small producers. An important aspect to highlight is that the amount of money Chile spends on media advertising is far inferior to that of its competitors. Although the country s spending per case has remained constant, it is still far below that of its competitors.

97 CANADA Canada s economy is among the eighth largest in the world, and its population of approximately 33 million inhabitants has a high purchasing power that is partly responsible for its great potential as a market for wine and other spirits. Wine consumption is growing in the country as Canadian consumers become increasingly familiar with this product. Of the $18.8 billion of alcoholic beverages sold at the retail level in 2007/2008 in Canada, beer was the most popular and accounted for $8.8 billion, followed by wine with $5.4 billion, and spirits at $4.7 billion. Although Canada remains a country that traditionally consumes beer, wine consumption has increased persistently over the past ten years. Canadian consumers are becoming increasingly familiar with the world of wine. They seek out new things, attend wine tastings and wine fairs, and take wine tours at growing rates. Annual consumption is 15 liters per capita among the adult population and 23 liters per capita among regular wine drinkers. Of the 26.7 million adults in Canada, 60% 16 million people are regular wine drinkers. Wine production in Canada is low and is mainly concentrated in the provinces of British Colombia and Ontario, and primarily sold in the domestic market. Local production supplies approximately 28% of the market, while imports account for the remaining percentage (72%).

Nov 2009 The provinces of Quebec, Ontario, British Colombia, and Alberta consume the most wine, with 36%, 31%, 16% and 9%, respectively. Volume and sales of imported wines have recently begun increasing at a faster rate than those of domestic wine. This has occurred despite the fact that prices of imported wine have risen far more than those of domestic wine. In 2009, for example, sales of imported wine grew by 3.2% compared to 1.8% for domestic wines. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 97

98 The leaders of the wine market are France, Australia, Italy, and the United States. Chile is the Canadian market s fifth largest external wine supplier and accounts for 5.4% of the market. Most Chilean wine is sold in the provinces of Ontario (41%), British Columbia (20%), Quebec (17%), and Alberta (15%). In 2009, the volume of Chilean wine sold grew faster than the market (7% versus 4%). The existence of 12 Liquor Boards with complete decision making power over which wines are imported and how they are marketed and distributed, means that in practice there are 12 different markets in Canada, each controlled by a monopoly. UNITED KINGDOM With close to 900 million liters of wine imported each year, the United Kingdom is one of the world s largest wine markets as well as one of the largest importers of Chilean wine. In terms of volume, this market receives 23% of all Chilean wine exports, and 17% of all sales. Domestic wine production is almost non-existent, which produces strong competition. The margins of distribution and the high taxes on alcohol have a definite effect on this market. Despite an unfavorable economic situation, wine sales in the United Kingdom continue to show a slight growth; total volume sold has risen by 3%, primarily due to an increase in the off-trade. Overall, 82% of wine sales in the United Kingdom occur in the off-trade, while 18% are sold on-trade. While Old World countries have held onto their off-trade market share, the trend is favoring New World countries. In the off-trade segment, Chilean wines account for 9.4% of market volume and 9% of value. New Zealand and Chile are the fastest growing importers in terms of sales, with 38% and 26%, respectively. Italy, Portugal, and Chile have increased their market share the most in the on-trade segment over last year with 19%, 17%, and 16% growth, respectively. Meanwhile, the market shares of Germany, Australia and France decreased by 27%, 13%, and 9%, respectively. 98 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

In more recent times, wine has become as accessible as any other beverage, more reasonably priced, and easy to find and to buy. According to experts, the dramatic rise in wine consumption began in 2002 and 2003 when South American wine imports, mainly from Chile and Argentina, were first mass marketed in supermarkets. Three years ago, domestic wine accounted for 53% of all wine sold in Brazil. Today, only three out of every ten wines offered for sale are Brazilian. Four of the remaining seven are South American wines. The figure below shows the evolution of wine imports to Brazil.

101 Chile leads imports to Brazil with 34% (US$61 million), followed by Argentina (22%), Italy (13%), Portugal (13%), France (10%), and Spain (4%). In the past four years domestic wine sales have increased by 23.9% on average, more than imported wine (22.8%).

102 ASIA China China is a wine producing country; it has approximately 475,000 hectares of vineyards (including grapes for fine wine, table wine, and raisins) and produces million liters of wine. It imports another 6.3 million cases of bottled wine and consumes 72.7 million cases of table, sparkling, fortified, and other wine. Table wine is the most popular category, and its consumption has grown 16% over the past four years. Consumption of sparkling wine, while still low, has also grown quickly since 2004 (15%). In the table wine category, red wine continues to be the biggest seller (87%). Wine is still an emerging industry in China and accounts for just 6% of all alcoholic beverages sold in this country. The four most popular alcoholic drinks in China are beer, wine (primarily domestic and imported red wine), and Chinese and western spirits. China has a population of 1.33 billion people, 723 million of whom are between 18 and 50 years of age. Of these, 325 million are city dwellers and 22.8 million are in the upper social class (with family income above 100,000 RMB). A sub-set of this group (19 million) consumes wine made from grapes, and 76% (14.3 million people) of that group drink imported wines. We can therefore estimate that in 2010 there are 23 million Chinese consumers who can afford to purchase imported wine and 14.3 million who currently drink imported wine. Approximately 63% of China s wine drinkers are men and 37% are women; 34% are 29 or younger, 42% between 30 and 39, and 26% are 40 to 50 years old. It is important to note that increasing numbers of Chinese women are buying wine, especially younger women, primarily due to the flavor, associated lifestyle, and this particular group s search for sophistication and life style. With regard to geographic zones, the most traditional cities such as Beijing and Wuhan primarily consume traditional spirits, while residents of cities such as Shanghai tend to have a higher income, more education, and be more open to imported wine. In terms of consumption by country of origin, 90% of the wine consumed in China is domestically produced. The remaining percentage is divided among France, Australia, Italy, Chile, the United States and others. In 2008, approximately 6 million cases of table wine were imported into China: 2.6 million from France; 1.3 million from Australia; 0.6 million from Italy; 0.5 million from Chile, and 0.4 million from the United States. 102 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

However, the market is displaying signs of more openness to New World wines, and consumers are becoming more aware of the attractive price-quality ratio that these wines offer. The most popular New World wines in China are from Australia and Chile, followed by the United States and South Africa. Old World countries such as Spain and Italy are also respected, but are not as familiar to Chinese consumers. Recent market trends worth noting include: A strong tradition in purchasing alcoholic beverages: The Chinese are accustomed to spending a considerable portion of their disposable income on alcohol. A trend toward purchasing less beer and spirits and more wine has been observed. Economic growth: China currently offers interesting economic opportunities. The middle class is growing, consumers are more confident, economic growth is strong, and the population is increasingly urban. More receptive to western countries: While Chinese culture is strongly based on tradition, the cultures of western countries places greater value on freedom and independence. Positive identification between western products and the lifestyles of the people consuming them make these products more desirable. The Chinese population seeks to improve its quality of life. Imported wines are primarily consumed in romantic settings, whether in a café, club, or bar, or during business meetings. Domestic wine, on the other hand, is more commonly consumed with meals in restaurants or at home or on social occasions such as weddings and other gatherings of friends and family. The factors that most affect the decision to purchase imported wine are the country or region of origin, recommendations by family and friends, label information, quality indicators, and familiarity with the colors and text on the label (for example, red signifies luck in Chinese culture). On the other side, the major barriers to purchasing imported wine are the price, which makes it more suitable for social occasions; the enormous variety of imported wine available, which confuses consumers; the lack of differentiation among available alternatives; and the difficulty consumers have in understanding a different language. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 103

104 In summary, while the market is still small, there are clear opportunities for growth. Wine also has the benefit of being more positively perceived than other alcoholic beverages in China. Two current trends also favor the consumption of imported wine in China: the country s increasing openness to western culture, especially lifestyles and products, and the perception of quality. Price, language, and unfamiliarity with the category are barriers that should be taken into account when designing a strategy for market penetration. The principal challenge is to find simple ways of obtaining the commitment of Chinese consumers. Japan Consumption of wine in Japan is low compared to other products such as beer, sake, and sho-chu. Wine is relatively new to this market and has to compete with local beverages. Per capita wine consumption in Japan is approximately 2.0 liters per year, which is quite low compared to traditional wine-drinking countries. While young men do not find drinking wine very attractive, there are genetic reasons that hinder people from consuming more alcoholic beverages and favor the consumption of alcohol-free or low-alcohol drinks. GRAPH 42: MARKET SHARE OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS BY TYPE Whisky 1% Wine 2% Others 11% Liquors 8% Beer 39% Sho chu 12% Sake 13% Happohshu 14% Wine consumption varies by location in Japan. Wine is more popular, for example, in urban areas such as Tokyo. However, 70% of Japan s population lives in rural areas. The three largest suppliers of the Japanese wine market are France, Italy, and the United States, while four other countries share fourth place: Australia, Chile, Spain, and Germany. In 2008, Chile was able to establish itself in fourth place, leaving Australia in fifth place. 104 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

105 GRAPH 43: EVOLUTION OF WINE IMPORTS BY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN France Italy United States Chile Germany Spain Australia Others Source: WANDS, 2009 Japan s population is aging rapidly, which experts believe will have a positive impact on the wine sector. Older consumers have more purchasing power and want to enjoy retirement, traveling, and drinking good quality wine. Despite the different crises that the country s economy has experienced, Japan continues to be the second most powerful country in the world, with one of the highest consumption levels and most purchasing power. Most members of Japanese society are familiar with wine, which is readily available at accessible prices in this country. Supermarkets and other shops continue to be the most common point of sale for wine in Japan, representing 61% of the market. In regard to price, the yen range (US$ ) continues to be the most popular, although most growth since 2006 has been in the yen range (US$ ).

106 Consumer trends include a swing toward dry red wine. There is also more interest in organic and environmentally-friendly products in Japan. Consumers are becoming more willing to accept wine from other countries of origin such as Italy, Chile, Spain, and the United States, among others. Wine consumption is estimated to reach three liters or more per capita in the next few years. Reasons for this include the increasing westernization of Japanese lifestyles, wine s attractiveness as representative of refined tastes, the greater availability of wine on the market, greater concern for health, more western restaurants in the country, and a new tendency to drink wine by the glass in restaurants, to name a few. Korea According to a report of the Korean Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOFE), per capita alcohol consumption in Korea is among the highest in the world. Social life in Korea is highly valued, and there are many occasions when the consumption of alcoholic beverages is expected. Beer and soju (a traditional Korean beverage) are the drinks most in demand. The wine market in Korea has grown by more 20% per year on average since the liberalization of the country s market in Wine currently accounts for close to 2% of alcoholic beverage sales in this country. TABLE 43: ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN KOREA (LITERS PER CAPITA) Soju Beer Wine Whisky Source: Korean Customs Agency, Korean Alcohol & Liquor Industry Association and Korean Statistics Information Domestic wine production is almost nil and is expected to shrink to zero due to the high cost of maintaining vineyards and the poor quality of the wine produced. Some Korean companies, instead of cultivating vineyards that are not profitable in the country s climate, have chosen to import bulk wine and bottle and sell it under their own brand names. Therefore virtually all wine consumed in Korea comes from imports. Given the limited production of domestic wine and the lack of information on stock, the imported wine volumes can be assumed to be indicative of wine consumption in general in the country. While consumption is still limited (annual per capita consumption is just half a bottle), wine consumption in Korea has seen strong growth since 2000, primarily due to increased awareness of its positive health effects, which is especially relevant to young adults, the increasing adoption of western customs, the rise in personal income, and the increased consumption of alcoholic beverages by women (especially young women). Young professionals 30 to 40 years of age and successful professionals 40 to 50 years of age are the most typical consumers of wine in Korea. Wine imports have grown by an average of 30% per year over the last four years. It is important to note that the drop in the last year is mainly due to the economic crisis that affected markets worldwide. 106 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market

Statistics from 2008 and 2009 show that Chilean wine has already surpassed French wine by volume. Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market 107

Contributing factors for the growth of Chilean wine sales in that country include the increasing openness of the Korean market, steady economic growth in Korea after the 1997/98 crisis, changes in consumer habits and preferences, free trade agreements (FTAs) the country has entered into; the greater variety of Chilean wines exported, and the aggressive strategy of Chilean wineries in this market, among other factors. The wine market in Korea is still young, with importation of wine liberalized in 1988, just 18 years ago. Before that time, wines were only imported through the Korean National Tourism Corporation, which was the official supplier of hotels in the country. Price and origin are the two most important factors in purchasing decisions, which is usual in young markets and explains the popularity of both French and Chilean wine. Initially, demand was concentrated on sweet and fruity wines of moderate to low quality; today, however, the greatest potential for growth is in the medium to high quality wines category, especially red wines. 108 Wines of Chile Strategic Plan 2020 International Market
