POTENCI AL D EL PRODUCTO.

El mercado de vino espumoso es un mercado muy importante y con una largatradicin en Alemania: Con un consumo de aprox. 4 litros de persona por ao, losalemanes son los que consumen ms vino espumoso en el mundo. El consumototal en Alemania en el ao 2007 fue 3,1 Millones hl que corresponde a aprox. 414millones de botellas.

En relacin con la produccin mundial de dos mil millones botellas significa que losalemanes consumen casi un cuarto de la produccin mundial de vino espumoso.

El ao de mayor consumo de vino espumoso en Alemania fue el ao 1994. Luegobaj el consumo durante algunos aos en un 25% al nivel actual que est ms o

menos estable desde 2002.

La produccin de vino espumoso en Alemania est muy desarrollada y es de altacalidad. Ms de tres cuartos del consumo en Alemania provienen del propiomercado. El resto, aprox. el 20% del consumo de vino espumoso, proviene deimportaciones de otros pases (ver cuadros en 3.). En 2007 se importaron 582miles de hl (77,5 millones de botellas) a Alemania.

El mercado de vino espumoso en Alemania es altamente competitivo. Aparte de lapropia produccin, que es muy fuerte, entran al mercado productos muy famososde otros pases: Entre otros el champn de Francia y el cava de Espaa.

Una herramienta muy importante en el mercado de vinos espumosos son losprecios de accin (vs. el precio de estantera/precio normal). Normalmente seusan en relacin con eventos en lo cuales se consume vino espumoso,

especialmente para la Navidad y Agno Nuevo.Algunas marcas se venden -en ms de la mitad de los casos- por el precio deaccin.

ESTRATEGI AS Y CAMPAAS DE PROMOCI N UTI LI ZADAS POR LACOMPETENCI A

Vino espumoso es unabebida para brindar en fiestas, cumpleaos, bodas, por pruebas aprobadas y ttulosobtenidos, y especialmente en la Navidad y Ao Nuevo.

CARACTER STI CAS DE PRESENTACI N DEL PRODUCTO RETAI L YMAYORI STA

Ver imgenes en el anexo

El diseo de las botellas es muy clsico. Las formas de las botellas son casi iguales

y en el etiquetado solamente aparecen palabras, en parte en letras antiguas. Casino hay imgenes y fotos.

La intencin es que el producto aparezca caro (aunque no lo es siempre) yexclusivamente para momentos especiales. Se subraya una cierta tradicin de lamarca y la pasin para la elaboracin de vino desde hace muchos aos.

El vino espumoso se coloca en las estanteras de los supermercados clasificado porel precio (las marcas ms baratas abajo) y por las marcas (marcas famosas secolocan el lugares bien visibles, las distintas variedades de las marcas estncolocadas juntas).

Marcas elegidas con frecuencia se colocan en lugares especiales, por ejemploestanteras propias en el pasillo. Estas acciones van en conjunto con una actividadde promocin y un precio de accin. Muchas veces estas acciones se organizanpara una fecha o un evento especial.

SUGERENCI AS Y RECOMENDACI ONES DEL DI RECTOR COMERCI AL SOBRELA ESTRATEGI A A SEGUI R PARA LA PENETRACI N O COLOCACI N DELPRODUCTO CHI LENO

Dado que el mercado de vino espumoso en Alemania es altamente competitivo yest dominado por algunas marcas como Rotkpchen y Freixenet, que tienen una

gran participacin en el mercado, no resulta fcil para productos de Chile entrar aeste mercado sin una accin promocional. Adems hay que destacar que lafidelidad de los clientes a las marcas es muy alta.

Por su envergadura, el vino espumoso es un mercado altamente interesante, paraChile, dado que ya tiene una fuerte presencia en el mercado del vino. Sin embargo,Chile todava carece de presencia en el mercado de vinos espumosos. Para ganarpresencia y entrar al mercado alemn, sera altamente recomendable usar lanotoriedad de los vinos chilenos y realizar una campaa promocional especficapara llamar la atencin de importadores y consumidores finales.

Para negocios con las grandes cadenas de supermercados, la via tiene que ser


10/32

capaz de producir y exportar grandes volmenes, y de ofrecer el vino espumoso aun precio relativamente barato.

Otra alternativa es la exportacin de vinos espumosos del segmento de preciosmedio y alto. Para este propsito es recomendable optar por la va de losimportadores especializados y tiendas especializados en vino.

En todo caso es altamente recomendable que las vias con inters en el mercadoalemn, participen en las ferias para demostrar sus calidades y estar presentes enlos eventos donde se renen los importadores y comerciantes de vino msimportantes. La feria ProWein en Dusseldorf es la feria ms importante en estesentido. Cada ao ProChile en conjunto con Wines of Chile organiza la participacinchilena en esta Feria, la presencia de las vias chilenas que exportan a Alemaniaen la ProWein es indispensable para el desarrollo del negocio, ya que para losimportadores y comerciantes alemanes, es muy importante conocer a losrepresentantes chilenos de las vias personalmente, y mantener el contacto

personal con ellos.

Imports of foodstuffs of non-animal origin into the European Union (EU)

must comply with general conditions and specific provisions designed toprevent risk to public health and protect consumers' interests.

Hence, the general rules applicable to these products are as follows:

1. General principles and requirements of Food Law established inRegulation (CE) No. 178/2002 (OJ L-31 01/02/2002);

2. General foodstuffs hygiene rules according to Regulation (EC) No.852/2004 (OJ L-226 25/06/2004);

3. General conditions concerning contaminants in food;4. Special provisions on Genetically Modified (GM) food and Novel food

of Regulation (EC) No. 1829/2003 (OJ L-268 18/10/2003) and

Regulation (EC) No.258/97 (OJ L-43 14/02/1997);5. General conditions of preparation of foodstuffs;6. Official control of foodstuffs;

When a hygiene problem likely to pose a serious risk to human health arisesor spreads in the territory of a third country, the European authorities maysuspend imports from all or part of the third country concerned or takeinterim protective measures regarding the foodstuffs concerned, dependingon the seriousness of the situation.

EU legislation establishing protective measures

1. General principles and requirements of Food LawBasic food law requirements applying to all food imported into the EuropeanUnion (EU) are laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 (OJ L-3101/02/2002), which among other topics covers.

Compliance or equivalence: Imported food must comply with therelevant requirements of food law or conditions recognised by the EUto be at least equivalent thereto.

Traceability: The Regulation defines traceability as the ability to traceand follow food and ingredients through all stages of production,processing and distribution it also contains general provisions fortraceability which cover all food business operators, withoutprejudice to existing legislation on specific sectors such as beef, fish,Genetically Modified (GM) food, etc. Importers are similarly affectedas they will be required to identify from whom the product wasexported in the country of origin. Unless specific provisions forfurther traceability exist, the requirement for traceability is limited toensuring that businesses are at least able to identify the immediatesupplier of the product in question and the immediate subsequentrecipient, with the exemption of retailers to final consumers (onestep back-one step forward).

Responsibilities of food importers: Food business operators at allstages of production, processing and distribution within thebusinesses under their control shall ensure that foods satisfy the


26/32

requirements of food law which are relevant to their activities andshall verify that such requirements are met. If a food businessoperator has reason to believe that imported food is not in

compliance with the food safety requirements, it shall immediatelyinitiate procedures to withdraw the food in question and inform thecompetent authorities thereof.

2. General foodstuffs hygiene rules

The relevant hygiene rules of food which need to be respected by foodbusiness operators in third countries are contained in Regulation (EC) No.852/2004 (OJ L-226 25/06/2004):

General obligation on the operator to monitor the food safety ofproducts and processes under his responsibility;

General hygiene provisions for primary production and detailedrequirements for all stages of production, processing and distributionof food;

Microbiological criteria for certain products which are established inCommission Regulation (EC) No. 2073/2005 (OJ L-338 22/12/2005);

Procedures based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point(HACCP) principles;

Approval and registration of establishments;The following guidance documents may be found in the EuropeanCommissions Health and Consumer Protection Directorate General (DGSANCO) website:

3. General conditions concerning contaminants in food

Contaminant substances may be present in food as a result of the variousstages of its production and marketing or due to environmental pollution.Since they represent a real risk for food safety, the EU has taken measuresto minimise the risk by setting maximum levels for certain contaminants infoodstuffs.

a) Maximum levels of certain contaminants in foodstuffs


27/32

Certain foodstuffs (i.e. fruit, vegetables, nuts, cereals, fruit juices, etc)must not, when placed on the market, contain higher contaminant levelsthan those specified in Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 (OJ L-364 20/12/2006).

This Regulation covers four different categories of contaminants: nitrates,aflatoxins, heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury) and 3-monochloropropane-1,2diol (3-MCPD), etc.

The maximum contaminant levels relate to the edible part of the foodstuffsbut apply also to the ingredients used for the production of compoundfoodstuffs.

b) Maximum levels of pesticide residues in and on food

Member States may restrict the putting on the market within their territories

of certain products containing pesticide residues if the quantity of theseresidues exceeds the maximum levels permitted presenting an unacceptablerisk to humans. These limits depend on the toxicity of the substance inquestion.

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (OJ L-70 16/03/2005) sets up harmonisedmaximum levels of pesticide residues for agricultural products or partsthereof intended for food to be used as fresh, processed and/or compositefood in so far as they may contain pesticide residues.

c) Maximum levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs

Regulations (EC) 3954/1987 (OJ L-371 30/12/1987) and 944/1989 (OJ L-101 13/04/1989) lay down the maximum permitted levels of radioactivecontamination of foodstuffs (either immediately or after processing) whichmay be placed on the market following a nuclear accident or any other caseof radiological emergency.

There is a list of minor foodstuffs (i.e. those which are consumed least) forwhich the maximum permitted levels are considerably higher (ten timeshigher)

d) Materials intended to come into contact with foodstuffs

Materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs must bemanufactured so that they do not transfer their constituents to food inquantities which could endanger human health, change the composition ofthe food in an unacceptable way or deteriorate the taste and odour offoodstuffs.

The Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 (OJ L-338 13/11/2004) establishes alist of groups of materials and articles (such us plastics, ceramics, rubbers,paper, glass, etc.) which may be covered by specific measures that includea list of the authorised substances, special conditions of use, puritystandards, etc. Specific measures exist for ceramics, regenerated celluloseand plastics.


28/32

4. Special provisions on Genetically Modified (GM) food and Novel food

In order to ensure the highest level of protection of human health, EU

legislation provides for a single authorisation procedure for the placing onthe market of food containing, consisting of or derived from GeneticallyModified Organisms.

An application must be sent to the competent authority of a Member Stateand then referred to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) whichcarries out a risk assessment.

On the basis of the opinion of EFSA, the Commission drafts a proposal forgranting or refusing the authorisation, which must be approved by theStanding Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The authorisedfood and feed are entered in the Community Register of GM food and feed.

Novel foods (i.e. foods and food ingredients that have not been used forhuman consumption to a significant degree within the EU before 15 May1997) must also undergo a safety assessment before being placed on theEU market.

Companies that want to place a novel food on the EU market must submittheir application to the competent body of a Member State for riskassessment purposes. As a result of this assessment, an authorisationdecision may be taken. The authorisation decision defines the scope of theauthorisation, the conditions of use, the designation of the food or foodingredient, its specification and the specific labelling requirements.

Novel foods or novel food ingredients considered by a national foodassessment body as substantially equivalent to existing foods or foodingredients may follow a simplified procedure, only requiring notificationsfrom the company.

5. General conditions of preparation of foodstuffs

EU legislation lays down the rules relating to treatment of foodstuffs, foodingredients and their conditions of use in order to protect the health ofconsumers and guarantee the free circulation of foodstuffs in the EuropeanUnion market.

Moreover, specific provisions for groups of foods are laid down in specificDirectives. These include compositional requirements, hygienerequirements, list of additives, purity criteria, specific labelling requirements, etc

a) Authorised food additives and flavourings

The scope of the Directives covers food additives and flavourings used asingredients during the manufacture or preparation of food and which arepart of the finished product.


29/32

The only substances which may be used as food additives are those includedin the approved common lists and then only under the conditions of usementioned in those lists (e.g. colorants, sweeteners, preservatives,

emulsifiers, stabilisers, raising agents, etc).

b) Preparation and treatments of certain foodstuffs

There are also rules in relation with the manufacture, marketing andimportation of foods and food ingredients that are subject to specifictreatments such as Council Directive 89/108/EEC (OJ L-40 11/02/1989) onquick-freezing or Directive 1999/2/EC (OJ L-66 13/03/1999) on ionisingradiation.

c) Specific provisions for certain groups of products and for foodstuffs forparticular nutritional purposes

Specific provisions are applied to certain groups of products (such as cocoa,sugar, etc.) and to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (babyfoods, dietary foods, gluten-free foods...). These may include specificrequirements on composition, hygiene, labelling (e.g. declaration of theenergy value, carbohydrate, protein and fat content), list of additives, puritycriteria, etc.

Summaries and lists of legislation Foodstuffs for particular nutritionalpurposes may be found in Health and Consumer Protection DirectorateGeneral (DG SANCO) website:http://ec.europa.eu/food/food/labellingnutrition/nutritional/index_en.htm

6. Control of foodstuffs.

The competent authorities in Member States will carry out regular controlson imported food of non-animal origin to ensure they comply with the EUgeneral health rules designed to protect health and interests of consumers.

The control may apply to import into the EU and/or to any other stage of thefood chain (manufacture, processing, storage, transport, distribution andtrade) and may include a systematic documentary check, a random identitycheck and, as appropriate, a physical check.
