WOC + Domestic Market

Close me

With offices in the United States, China, the United Kingdom and Chile, and working closely with ProChile (the government trade commission), since 2003, Wines of Chile (WoC) has carried out a medium-and-long-term plan to position itself both nationally and internationally through promotional and educational activities focusing on trade, media, key opinion leaders and consumers.

WoC also serves as a network hub for associates and develops and shares market intelligence to help the industry better identify and capitalize on existing opportunities.

We have plans to put the value of our wines above $60 FOB. WoC’s deep knowledge of the markets means we are intimately aware of the sector and its needs.

This area mainly covers the legal and research departments. The legal department evaluates and reports on aspects related to consultation, development and implementation of regulations that may affect the wine industry, whether in tariff, tax, production, labeling, certification, definitions, or others.

For these purposes, in international matters, we monitor commercial conflicts that have implications for Chilean wine (eg: Brexit; China-Australia; China-USA; EU-USA, registration of companies on the Chinese platform); and nationally, we work and support the drafting of norms in accordance with good practices (eg. Labelling Law) and social policies of responsible consumption (work with SENDA). In order to keep our partners apprised of the work we have undertaken, we offer education, guides and circulars and also resolve partner queries.

We work closely with our peers from other countries as well as with relevant institutions such as FIVS, WWTG and OIV.

The Research Department is responsible for analyzing and providing information on a wide range of issues that affect the sector, such as foreign trade, production and economic figures, national and international regulations that affect the production and trade of wines, in the form of technical assistance to the different areas of Wines of Chile and through direct delivery of information to associates and related external agencies.

Main functions include monthly export performance reports; semi-annual reports of the main productive and economic indicators of national and international activity; developing economic, productive and foreign trade analyses and statistics according to specific requirements; support to the legal area in the analysis and monitoring of international regulations that could become barriers to wine trade; monitoring of TBT/WTO notifications and information received from different sources; follow-up on the commercial negotiations carried out by the country and request for benefits for the wine sector; selection of content for the digital library of the website and overall support on various topics for management, legal, human capital, R&D and WoC.

Responsible consumption

Become a responsible
wine consumer

We could go on for hours about wine, and its benefits are many. Among them, moderate wine consumption reduces the risk of mortality from heart disease by half, improves blood flow and enhances the flavours of food. In addition, wine is social, allowing for different delicious libations in the company of friends. But wine is not without its pitfalls, as the saying goes, there can be too much of a good thing.

Consumption

Drinking alcohol, even in small quantities, alters cognitive abilities, decreases our attentiveness and leads to slower response times. It is worth noting that alcohol consumption is the leading cause of traffic accidents.

Being a responsible consumer is everyone’s business

You can be a part of the solution, keeping the above in mind to not let wine become a negative experience.
