FRANCE: TABLE AND REGIONAL WINES DOWN

Article Abstract:

The success of grape variety wines is the result of the strong exposure (display and promotion) of this category, according to the wine specialist at Carrefour . These wines have the advantage of animating the wine department of the French super and hypermarkets in addition to reporting a 10% rise in volume sales to account for 32% of the regional wine segment. In the year ended in July 1998, the volume sales of regional wines through the super and hypermarkets fell 1.2% at 2.16mn hl. Table wines were even more depressed with a 7.6% collapse in sales at 3.4mn hl. To face the gloomy situation, the professionals will invest in the merchandising in a department badly organized and structured, where any new animation operation brings an additional confusion.
