A campaign of recovery on the bulk wine markets

Expected impact of the depreciation of the euro on international trade in wine
The euro, which was worth 1.49 dollars at the start of December 2009, has seen a very rapid fall: 8 June 2010, it dropped below the psychological barrier of 1.20 dollars (1.19). It was the same day that- symbolically- Airbus obtained a contract of 11.5 billion dollars for an order from Emirates, which symbolised the revival of competitiveness for eurozone businesses. Amongst the eurozone countries, Germany is a supporter of a strong euro; however other countries are feeling the beneficial impact for their trade of the currency’s depreciation on exports to countries outside the monetary zone. These exports increased in value by more than 10% in the first quarter of 2010, to reach 125 billion euros in March. This result is certainly partly due to the recovery of commercial activity, put also partly to the dpreciation of the euro. The impact of this depreciation should be considerable on trade in wine between the eurozone and the rest of the world. The eurozone countries are extremely important in wine terms: 94% of wine growing capacity and 79% of consumption volume in the European Union, 60% of production capacity and 50% of consumption in the world. The steep fall in the euro against major global currencies should therefore influence trade in the eurozone countries in 2010....

Interview with Gilles Louvet, President and founder of the Languedoc organic wine merchant CVLD: "The organic wine market is booming"
For the last three years, sales of the trade company CLVD Aude (Languedoc Cellars Wine Distribution) have recorded an annual growth of 40%. This year, despite the crisis, growth could be even higher. Its niche: the making and trading of organic wines. With a production of 40 000 hl and 3.5 million bottles sold annually, CLVD has become the first operator of organic wines in France. For Gilles Louvet, founder and president of the company, the demand for organic wines will boom the in the coming years. Large foreign retailers as well as French mass distribution are in the process of creating or expanding their offer of organic wines and the lack of supply could actually limit the growth of this emerging market....
Jacques Lurton, organiser of the Masters of Wine Symposium in Bordeaux (June 2010) : "We hope to see lots of French visitors forging links with the MW"
Bordeaux is working actively on its status as world wine capital. Vinexpo is being held in Hong Kong in June 2010 : however, the Bordeaux Fête le Vin event will be accompanied by the Masters of Wine Symposium in Bordeaux, from 24 to 27 June 2010. The wine world's most prestigious training school is based in the UK, but lives out its international ambitions through courses abroad, such as the Symposium, attended by all wine professionals. These days, the promotions are less and less dominated by the British, and depend on the nationality of the degree-holders. Good news for France - this year, the symposium is taking place in Bordeaux. Jacques Lurton, the organiser, has made sure of that......
