...문예송 2010-10415 Principles of Accounting Individual Report Wine Industry Vina Concha y Toro (Chile) History of Chile Wine and Concha y Toro The Chile wine industry has enjoyed immense success and growth on the past two decades. The quality of Chile wine brands are at par with the most famous brands from the Old World countries and has been able to secure international prestige. Wine making began from the late 16th century by the Spanish conquistadors and missionaries. Despite the political connection to the Spanish, Chile wine is historically influenced by the Bordeaux French wine which started in the late 19th century with many wealthy Chile wine makers importing Bordeaux grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Carmenere, and Cabernet Franc to plant in the ideal valleys of Chile. These species of grapes were rare and are considered the “lost” species of grapes from Bordeaux due to having been imported before the phylloxera (blight) epidemic which ravaged and destroyed Bordeaux vineyards in the late 19th century. The ruined wine industry in the late 19th century also prompted many French wine makers to travel to South America bringing their experience and accumulated traditional techniques. This was the second tide of Chile wine history where currently famous firms were established by the wealthy wine makers of Chile such as Vina Errazuriz by Don Maximiano, Ochagavia Wines by Don Silvestre Ochagavia Echazarreta and Concha y Toro by Don Melchor de Santiago in the...

...Scientific Article DALAT WINE: CHALLENGES IN ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL WINE BRAND POSITION IS STILL YEARS AHEAD -*Ngo Binh, MA. in Marketing Bui Thi Lan Huong, PhD. I. COMPANY HISTORY 1.1 Wine manufacturing traditional in Dalat (Vietnam) Dalat wine has been popular in Dalat, an attractive city located 1500 m above sea level on Langbian high lands. For long time ago, Dalat wine has been produced traditionally by local producers from blackberries (dau tam). Traditional wine makers in Dalat grow themselves dau tam at Bong Lai area. It is reportedly that the first wine producer was Lafaro, a local company founded by Nguyen Huu Duc in 1974. This company imported a new variety of dau tam to produce its wine. Unfortunately, the company stopped to operate in 1975. Nguyen Chi Man, a 80-year-old man, who did distribute this wine at that time, asked the company's owner this variety of mulberry' seeds to grow, then to make wine for his own consumption and later on for his small business in Dalat. Since then, other traditional wine makers follow him to open wine factories and mulberry plantations, especially in Bong Lai. Because of their small scale, they did not build up particular brand name for their wine. Dalat wine has been considered effectively as a “geographical indication”. Dalat wine has been consumed mostly by Dalat residents. The mind climate of Dalat is the favorable place for consuming red wine, especially in traditional holidays. According to Nguyen Trong Anh Dong, Vice-Secretary...

...The Influence of Climate and Soil Characteristics on Fruit Quality of Wine Grapes in New Zealand by So Pyay Thar Introduction Wine is one of the eldest beverages consumed throughout the world today (McGovern, et.al., 2000). It has been widely consumed for many years for its attractive aroma, exceptional taste as well as for social, recreational, ceremonial, medicinal and dietary purposes, etc. (Estreicher, 2004). Producing high quality grape wine has always been a challenge for many wine industries around the world. However, most of the winemakers agree that high-quality wine begins with the land and the natural environment of the region in which the grapes are grown (Goldammer, 2013). NZ produces premium quality wine and its wine industry is growing rapidly (New Zealand wine industry, 2013). In order to produce premium high quality grapes for wine production, many factors need to be considered. Watson (2013) stated that success in high yielding, high quality grape wine production depends on not only the grape variety but also climate, soil characteristics, topography, vineyard site, viticulture practices and technology etc. Although there are various factors affecting the quality of wine grape, this literature review will focus on the climatic and soil characteristics which influence the grape wine quality in New Zealand. The soil characteristics and climate has always had a significant impact on vineyard practices as recognized by viticulturists for centuries (Sluys...
