国家质检总局批准对波尔多实施地理标志保护的公告

经过多年艰难不懈的努力,继干邑、纳帕、香槟、威士忌之后,法国波尔多葡萄酒行业委员会向中国申请波尔多(Bordeaux)在中华人民共和国境内地理标志产品(GI)保护最终得到了确切回复。于6月下旬国家质检总局颁布了第75号法案,通过了关于波尔多地理标志产品保护的公告,地理标志产品制度的实施,主要是为了打击假冒伪劣产品的泛滥。这无疑是我国葡萄酒市场逐渐规范化又一重要举措。公告全文如下:

经法国农业、食品、渔业、农村事务及土地整治部推荐,法国波尔多葡萄酒行业委员会向我局申请波尔多(Bordeaux)在中华人民共和国境内地理标志产品保护,参照《地理标志产品保护规定》,质检总局组织专家技术审查合格,现批准自即日起对波尔多(Bordeaux)在中华人民共和国境内实施地理标志产品保护。

南半球最大的精品酒拍卖行-兰顿

撰文:陆江        编辑:王智慧

  我作为葡萄酒收藏顾问,已经快10个年头,帮私人或是企业在世界各地不同渠道搜罗葡萄酒,其中拍卖也是我搜酒的重要途径之一。平时主要接触的是佳士得、苏富比等国际化程度高的拍卖行,不过随着葡萄酒文化的快速推广,越来越多的爱好者逐渐把喜好从以前单一的法国产区,开始扩展到世界各地不同风格的产区。我的目标也开始从国际大拍卖行延展到一些区域拍卖大行。

随着中澳自由贸易协定的签署,澳洲葡萄酒税将在未来4年内将至零关税。而且近年来澳洲葡萄酒局在华的卖力推介,澳洲葡萄酒已在中国市场稳居第二的位置(第一是法国),这也造就了不少澳洲葡萄酒的忠实拥趸。所以这两天我特意采访了澳洲,乃至南半球最大的精品酒拍卖行-兰顿(Langton’s)的内容与传播经理Samuel Burridge。希望通过我的采访文,让大家对区域大拍卖行能窥豹一斑,也许也能成为大陆买家淘酒的一条新途径。

1.我(陆江):中国买家对于澳洲拍卖信息相对不是那么了解,可以简单的介绍一下澳洲兰顿拍卖的现状和它在澳洲拍卖界的地位么?

Samuel Burridge:兰顿是澳洲规模最大的葡萄酒拍卖行,在过去的25年里,兰顿在澳洲二手交易市场中有着绝对的领先地位。 成立于1988年,总计拥有超过5000位的澳大利亚本国以及国际买家客户,每年通过拍卖提供超过120000批次的标的。从波尔多和勃艮第的顶尖酒,到引领奔富(Penfolds)精品酒市场,兰顿已是整个澳大利亚精品葡萄酒市场的标杆。另外,还有兰顿发布的【兰顿澳大利亚葡萄酒的分级体系-Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine】,去年2014年,刚刚庆祝了兰顿体系发布25周年。这个体系是高度有影响力的,在最具有收藏价值的澳洲葡萄酒领域,是被国际上广泛认可的分级体系。

除此之外,对于拍卖业务的补充,兰顿也有精品酒中介,在线商店,以及酒庄直购业务。

 2.我(陆江):如果中国买家也想参与,可以通过什么方式参与拍卖? 对于买家,拍卖后的物流环节是比较头疼的,兰顿是否会协助买家提供相关解决方案?

Samuel Burridge:对于中国买家,参与方式很简单。因为我们的拍卖业务已经完全上线,所以只需要登陆网站: www.langtons.com.au 就可以直接在线参与拍卖。对于第二个问题,在协助国际客户方面,我们已有丰富的经验,有很久的合作历史。我们会尽力协助客户,最大可能地满足竞拍者的要求。我们的客户服务部门会联络每一位国际客户,来探讨可能的解决方案。

 

 3.我(陆江):相较之下,中国大陆买家的购买热点集中于波尔多和勃艮第顶级酒庄、香槟、以及近年来热门起来的意大利酒。那么在兰顿拍卖中,澳洲买家会对那些类型的葡萄酒表现出更多的兴趣和倾向性?

Samuel Burridge:澳洲买家的口味和需求一直在变化和发展。像勃艮第和波尔多将会一直是热点,然而奔富(Penfolds)系的精品酒和兰顿分级体系里的其它20款顶级酒一直在拍卖中占有主导份额。 此外我们的买家对大瓶装葡萄酒和香槟也有稳定的需求。

4. 我(陆江):在兰顿拍卖澳洲酒的比重会占到多少,其他产区酒的大概比例?

Samuel Burridge:澳洲酒能占 66% 的主导份额,波尔多的红葡萄酒约占11%,勃艮第红葡萄酒占6%,勃艮第白葡萄酒占2%,大瓶装能占7%,意大利占4%,香槟占2%,除此之外剩余品种占2%。

采访完Samuel Burridge,我大致看了一下兰顿最新的拍卖信息,本月25日(2015年6月25日)截拍,有两个主题:【勃艮第珍品回顾拍卖-Finest Burgundy Retrospective Auction】和【经典奔富年度拍卖-Annual Classic Penfolds】。

Chinese wine market: Through the valley of recession

Chinese wine market: Through the valley of recession

Photo and Text : Maxime LU

In recent years, policy to clampdown gifting and ostentatious display of wealth among officials, along with decelerated growth of Chinese economy has sent Chinese wine market into trough period. In a different perspective however, it also signals opportunities for return of a much healthy,amorepersonal- consumption oriented wine market. Such transition has promoted domestic wine industry to be explored and try new market model. Foreign wine makers and wine regionassociations have found out the capital that they invested in brand promotion didn’t bring satisfactory result in recent years. Adjusting strategies and adopting more effective measures, effectively increasing brand awareness are many wine industry business objectives, here are a few points that need special attention:

mp19676071_1434918022289_2
1.Make sure your brand image isheard as widely as possible.

Paying attention to the propagation accuracy and diversity is one of the keys. Organizers invest time, manpower and material resources to host a perfect dinner or tasting event, but often reluctant to invest more resources and efforts on the propagation. Without enough exposure to propagate the brand image expressed by these events adequately, nor do enough distribution channels to let target audiences to understand your promotion campaign, it is undoubtedly getting half the result for the same effort. Increasing your brand activities exposures as much as possible is the most important part, it doesn’t necessarily means you have to invest a large sum of budget. By choosing a flexible promotion model and correct channels which can achieve high rate of dissemination, your promotion activity can achieve effects of multiple promotion campaigns.

mp19676071_1434918022289_3
2.Select the effective brandcommunication channels.

Choosing traditional media with precise target audience such as paper magazines and books, or faster spreading and higher flexibility media such as websites, APP,public WeChat channel, but also from included self-published media like blog,Weibo and Circle of Friends of WeChat Channel. As the whole society has entered the age of Multi-media, business must have a clear  understanding and enough analysis on: their main target audience, considerations of timeliness, channel efficiency and coverage, as well as the cost of each delivery channel. As for the traditional paper media whose influences have been weakened gradually, one must take into account the reality of its circulation and delivery site, compared to this, wine books have even narrower distribution.

Now let us move to self-publishing media.In order to attract more original contents, a lot of major platforms have endowed wider distribution of its content via multidevice/ OS friendly platform, such as PCfriendly, mobile browser friendly and app. In this era where a friend gathering evolved into a much-maligned scene where everyone bows to play their mobiles, the visitor volume of a rising self-publishing media on PC and mobile browser views may not be high, but the visitors volume on its related channel on their mobile apps platform is usually rather impressive while being more accurate at the same time. These distribution channels have a better dissemination of results, on the other hand, the price-efficiency of releasing news with self-publishing media at this stage is not bad at all.

mp19676071_1434918022289_4
3.Comprehensive considerationand choosing flexible way to promote.

Trainings, lectures, wine exhibitions are common ways to promote but mainly limited to the wine industry professionals only. In addition, one can leverage with using the Chamber of Commerce or association to represent the overall image of a wine producing region, selecting high traffic supermarkets, shopping malls, organic markets to carry out wine culture themed festivals, or even promote experient ial market ing in the now personal-consumption dominated market. For example, most of the Chilean wine are suitable for everyday drinking, they are easy to resonate with their fruit & sweet spices aroma as the leading aroma, easy to drink, soft tannins, easy to access and higher acceptance to primary consumers, are particularly suitable for this type of experiential marketing, coupled with the Chilean wine price advantage, it can directly and efficiently attract to customers.

mp19676071_1434918022289_5

2015 will be the year of recovery for the wine market, although not necessarily a substantial growth, but judging the data from the past few months and feedbacks from vintners of different scale, we are optimistic about this year’s rebound. In the past two years, Chinese wine industry has invested heavily to popularize and promote the wine culture and it has achieved initial success, more and more consumers who have been purchasing power of wine began to understand the basic wine knowledge. Some consumers who are interested in wine have even equipped themselves with advanced wine knowledge, and gradually developed themselves as opinion leaders in their own social circles.

mp19676071_1434918022289_6

Demand of China’s  personal-consumption market also grows vigorously in market cultivation and wine culture education&promotion. At the present, it is a critical time for wine-producing countries, like Chile, to further open up a new prospect in the Chinese market. Stable quality, suitable taste for the market, the tariff gimmick, these should be anenduring promotion campaign instead of several intensive period of promotion activities. You do not have to burn money to carry out a largescale activities, as long as you rely on the industry associations or chambers of commerce that can easily win public trust, you can just cyclically carry out some small but propagation-effect oriented activities. This doesn’t need a lot of money but precise positioning, appropriate and flexible pattern, and strategies that suits the status quo for the Chinese market. Currently the major producing countries are actively promoting to seize market share in China, if not being aggressive at the moment, one will eventually fall behind and cede out the market one has won.
