THE GLOBAL AND
ASIAN MARKETS
FOR RED WINE
Globally, red wine accounts for 54% of all still wine
sales, and is predicted to grow by around 0.3% in
the period between 2015 and 2019.
While the USA is the world’s biggest market for
red wine, with over 136 million cases consumed
in 2014, it is in Asia-Pacific where the future and
market for red wine is particularly strong and where
wine consumption is heavily skewed towards red
wines.
CHINA - China is now the third largest consumer
of red wine in the world and slowly catching up with
France with sales soaring by 74% between 2009

million cases.
KOREA - In South Korea red wine accounts
for nearly three quarters (73.7%) of all still wine

Château Cabezac is launching a new
range of wines at Vinexpo Hong Kong,
from their new vineyard “Mas Roc
de Bô”. The range is called “Pépite”
(meaning “nugget”), with Pépite Noire
2014, Pépite Originale 2014, and
Pépite Dorée 2014 presented during
the show.
Located in the Languedoc-Roussillon
region in southern France, the estate is
classed entirely Appellation d’Origine
Minervois Protégé. The plots are
situated on the limestone Cazelles
plateau, a terroir characterised by
a high content of organic matter and
stones, and aging takes place for 12
months in French oak barrels.
The robe of Pépite Originale is a
sumptuous deep red with purple
reflections. The bouquet is rich and
after airing notes of the wild mountain
scrubland where the grapes are grown
are revealed, with its heady mix of
herbs and flowers. The powerful palate
is garnered with silky but ever present
tannins. The oak aging bestows this
complex and elegant wine with vivacity
and energy.
