Abstract

International wine trade is influenced by barriers which are relevant elements of the global wine market’s institutional setting. Trade barriers result from customs tariffs or from policy measures that can potentially have an economic effect on international trade quantity and direction of flows; such policy measures are classified in technical measures, non-technical measures, and export measures. In the wine market the impact of tariff barriers is rather small, despite not negligible; while non-tariff measures have an higher impact on flows and wine exporters have actively negotiated with importing countries’ preferential trade agreements to lower barriers. Scientific studies demonstrate the discriminatory effect of such preferential agreements and the heterogeneous impacts on trade of technical measures. Considering the current tensions in international relations, it is high the risk of a raising of barriers to trade in the next future; it is therefore urgent the empowerment of institutions, like International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), in charge for harmonization of definitions and rules in wine production and trade.

Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) entered into force on 15 January 2015. The bulk wine tariff (> 150 liters) was eliminated on entry into force of the agreement. The tariff for wine in containers (> 10 l < 150 l) will be eliminated over ten years. The wine tariff for bottled (and bag-in-box < 10 liters) wine will be eliminated on 1 April 2021.

The importance in the wine industry of de-integrated supply chains emerges in many chapters of this book and with quantitative details in Chap. 23 (Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco case). The increasing relevance of de-integrated supply chains with an international extension is demonstrated by the rise of international trade of bulk wine, which accounts for near 40% of total export (+ 88% on 2000).
