Culture Grapes / Regions Producer Brand Analysis BRAND ANALYSIS Market Position: High On-Premise and retail opportunities. 90% of basic Gewurztraminer Alsace growers on the national market are selling this varietal between $15.00 and $20.00 Retail. One of the best value Gew. on the market. Market Position: Just above the major brands Hugel, Trimbach, Albrecht, Leon Beyer…. And with the boutique Alsace producers like Deiss, Blanck, Rene Mure, Albert Mann... New comer, smaller house, alternative to the usual, great quality
Culture Grapes / Regions Producer Brand Analysis BRAND ANALYSIS Market Position: It should be our niche varietal, eclectic type but approachable. Our direct competitors in price and quality are: Used to be 1st Pierre Frick (No Importer) and 2nd Domaine Ostertag for basic Sylvaner. Albert’s wine will be in between in terms of price. Market Position: Good Value wine, in the same price range with Trimbach, Kuentz-Bas, and Lucien Albrecht. GREAT PRICE/QUALITY RATIO
