Domestic high-end wines are mainly imported from France. In 20 12, the total amount of wine imported from France reached 137767 kiloliters. Judging from the import situation of major ports, the wine imported from the EU through Shenzhen Port accounts for 80% of the total wine imported from the ports in the same period, while the wine imported from France accounts for 79.9% of the total wine imported from the EU. The wine imported from France at Guangdong port accounted for 52.6% of the total wine imported at Guangdong port in the same period; The wines imported from France in Shanghai Customs account for 56.4% of the total wine imports in the customs area during the same period.
However, the Report of 20 13-20 17, Deep Investigation on the Circulation and Investment Market of Imported Wine and Analysis on the Operation Mode, shows that the price of French wine is relatively high, and the yield of French wine grapes dropped sharply in 20 12 due to meteorological disasters, which was the lowest in the last decade. In 20 13, the climate in Bordeaux, France was unfavorable in spring and was hit by hail and storm in summer. This year, grape production continued to decline. It usually takes about 2-3 years from grape picking to wine listing. Therefore, in the next few years, the price of French wine will continue to rise due to the shortage of supply and inventory, which will obviously be difficult to break the current market downturn. Prospective Industry Research Institute believes that Spanish wine will take the opportunity to open up the market situation and pave the way for the "popularization" of imported wine.
In the first half of this year, China's wine imports from Spain increased by 40.3% to nearly 65.438+59 billion liters, making it the third largest wine importer in China. Spanish wine is relatively cheap, which is suitable for the current domestic demand trend. Moreover, with the bumper harvest of Spanish grapes this year, it can be speculated that the wine production will continue to rise in the next two or three years, and the price expectation is relatively stable. In addition, Spanish wine exports to China account for less than 5% of its total wine exports. Faced with such a large market, Spanish wine producers also hope to pay more attention to the China market.
Therefore, China ushered in the era of "civilian" wine. In order to obtain stable supply and low price, importing wine from Spain is a good turnover opportunity for importers.
