Evidence Submission #2
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario Conference
In France: decline. No other way to explain it
From France AgriMer
~45Million ~31Million
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario Conference
But an even bigger problem is pending…
From France AgriMer
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario Conference
In case you missed it…
• Awareness of French wine>Bordeaux>Every AOC
• Regions with salience attract a price premium - From
Combris (1997) to Schamel (2006), to Oczkowski (2010)
and numerous others
• Tellingly, there’s a premium from generic to specific but
loss of awareness brings pricing discounts through loss of
potential sales (Gillespie 2005)
• Specifically, AOCs in France have doubled since the 1970s
• So, as the prestige of French wine has increased, no
mechanism existed to bring new drinkers to category
HOW ABOUT ONTARIO?
Evidence Submission 3
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario Conference
Beginners choose yes/no wine…
Novices on the left, the enthusiast on the right….
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario, March 1, 2016
Use evidence more than emotion
• Alex my Nemesis
1. Wine Making gets the
attention. Deal with it.
2. Make sure they know your
value 
• VQA Riesling outsells PG more than 2 to 1
• But consumers otherwise
don’t gravitate to Riesling
• Don’t assume your customers
understand. Find out
• Measure your brand’s character
Just because you want it to be that way….

Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario Conference
Brand Character
Measuring Character: How you
behave when no-one is watching
BRAND CHARACTER: How consumer’s
behave when you’re not watching
Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario, March 1, 2016
Research has found…
• Sales rely on two things:
1. That consumers are aware of
your wine, and
2. That your wine is available
where they like to purchase
• Millenials are growing, and they like wine
• But they are influenced
differently to previous
generations
• Know how they perceive you
• The journey from Novice to Expert provides
the answer to the riddle behind sustained
growth in the wine sector
How the boffins are trying to make your job easier

Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario, March 1, 2016
For my details, photograph the QR code
• Getting growth back will rely on
understanding transition from wines of
style, then variety, then….?
• Enthusiasts love the minutae of wine
trivia, but non-wine enthusiasts just
want a wine that’s not bad!
• With tomorrow’s market witnessing the
end of boomer dominance, wine needs
to embrace the transition process from
novice to enthusiast, and encourage
transit through that process

Damien Wilson/Insight Ontario, March 1, 2016
Growing the Ontario wine market…
• Trading-up (only) is a false economy
• Refresh the market with new
consumers. Constantly
• We suspect that every time a wine
consumer is irritated by a wine snob,
a kitten dies.
• Please think of the kittens when
encouraging more consumers to
drink wine from Ontario

Editor's Notes

  1. Market dynamics: refreshing the new market. Don’t make the same mistake as the French. Create the ladder from entry-level to connoisseurship
  2. Why I don’t detail my experiences here… No-one ever remembers more than one or two – and even then it’s only if they’re interested. I’ve noticed that it’s this time during the presentation that you lose the audience. How many of you checked your phones as soon as Greg started going over my biography? Sponsors – take note of the interest in your message!
  3. The wine sector has been waxing lyrical about American consumers ‘trading up’… Hourglassing of producer expansion concurrently with constricting distribution channel. The hour-glass Boomers are shrinking. And cult wines have no strategy.... More on this later...
  4. As of yesterday, according to Wine and Vines
  5. There’s a symbolism to this slide. There are essentially two categories of wine attracting consumers Satisficing wines – Where exercising training, and applying a specific quantity of effort results in the producion of wines of consistency and reliability. Wines of place – This is your bread and butter. Wines from a location. The wines are valued due to their capacity to express their location of production. The appeal of the location determines the wine’s value and desirability We know that most consumers start with ‘wines of effort’, and some progress to wines of place. What we don’t know is how, when or why some do while others don’t.
  6. We know that wines of effort contribute much larger margins than wines of effort. Equally, we know that wines of effort dominate the volume of the wine market. The value/volume splits in contribution to wine business profitability vary to a degree, but rule of thumb is that 10% of volume is from the wines of place category, yet they contribute around 50% of profitability. With many of Silicon Valley Bank’s customers falling into this demographic, the outlook going forward is an important consideration.
  7. Boomers and millennials drink about the same volume of wine between them. We’ve got that bit, but Millennials drink more, from around 30% fewer drinkers. GenX drink like their parents, but only about 40% of them got into wine… When were GenXers learning to drink?
  8. This is how they come into the segment….
  9. Boomers and millennials drink about the same volume of wine between them. We’ve got that bit, but Millennials drink more, from around 30% fewer drinkers. GenX drink like their parents, but only about 40% of them got into wine… When were GenXers learning to drink?
  10. I’m predicting that the wine interest in each region will dictate how well wine will be adopted in coming generations. It’s definitely rosier on this side of the Atlantic than the other side of it.
  11. This little thing called the craft brew wave coincides with what we perceive as the challenge of craft brews.
  12. Since 2005, wine consumer numbers were up to approximately 31 million in 2010 (from 30 million in 2005), but down from almost 45 million in 1980.
  13. Regular consumers drink more, and more expensive wines in general. France has improved both the image and quality of its wines, but has failed to turn that into revenue. In effect, they’ve lost both wine consumers and revenue streams. The quality improvements have all led to a higher cost of producing and servicing their markets.
  14. To early consumers of wine, the choice is either ‘not bad enough to refuse’, or everyone else likes it. On the right, you see the enthusiast brain for wine, where every wine experience is compared against all others.
  15. Wine has an advantage over other consumer goods, given the accessibility of consumers via digital means Thach outlined the opportunities for wine businesses, with the need to develop skills in the area Wilson and Quinton found that being present was only half of the task. Trade and consumer discussing wine in a different manner. Intrinsic qualities and knowledge-based v. Enjoyment and event-based Szolnoki et al
  16. Corsi, Cohen and Lockshin (2014) Conducted an experiment on new wine consumers. From six wines tasted blind they examined their wine preference, perceived price point, willingness to purchase, variety, region and style. Then one group was exposed to three sessions on identifying grape variety, a second on grape variety and region. The third group had no training. The varietal training group’s capacity to identify the variety in a blind tasting was significantly improved, but region identification was no better than chance. However, those receiving the regionality training significantly improved their liking ratings and willingness to purchase. The ‘no training’ group’s results did not significantly change just from the experience of the experiment.
