Amazon to enter US wine market

The world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, is starting to sell wine in the U.S.

FT.com / Companies / Retailing & leisure – Amazon to enter US wine market
Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, is to start selling wine in the US, entering a business fraught with regulatory complexities and littered with the wreckage of previous failures.

Amazon is looking to recruit a senior wine buyer, whom it says will be responsible for “the acquisition of a massive new product selection” for its site. The wine sales will augment a rapidly expanding non-perishable groceries business that Amazon launched two years ago.

When the Wine Is Green

Organic wine was once thought of a poor quality, but things are changing. Retailers are stocking it and restaurants are showcasing it – and its all due to the growing demand for it.

When the Wine Is Green – New York Times

Green has not yet replaced red or white or even pink as the most important color in deciding which wines to buy, but people have started to think about it. Words like organic, biodynamic, natural and sustainable are increasingly resonating with consumers, not just because they are concerned about health and the environment, but because they are beginning to associate them with great wine, the way organic has become a synonym for high-quality produce.

That’s largely because the growing number of producers who practice some form of natural grape growing and winemaking do so not just because they see it as environmentally responsible but because they believe these methods make better wine.

When the news reports talk about the health benefits of red wine, consumers want to be sure they don’t miss out. Nielsen has recently released figures that show a correlation between this information and the increase in sales.

Red Wine Sales Outpace White On News Of Health Benefits – 04/03/2007
EW FIGURES OUT FROM THE Nielsen Company appear to show a distinct correspondence between news announcements that linked the consumption of red wine to health benefits and a surge in volume sales of said red wine.

In the 20 weeks ending March 10, the sales growth of red wine outpaced sales growth of the category by 40%, says Danny Brager, vice president/client services for Nielsen Beverage Alcohol. “Sales of red wine were up 8.5% versus the period a year ago, while sales of white wine were up only 4.8% and total wine sales were up 6%,” he says. “Before this period, white wine was growing faster than red.”
