| 1 | 2084 | 2001 | By producing a sweeter, less harsh wine, the Sutter Home Winery was able to increase its sales and keep its prices low, despite critics who labeled the wine as unsophisticated. |
| 2 | 2084 | 2003 | France's Bordeaux and Burgundy regions remain world champions in the high-end segment of wine, where prices start at $12 a bottle. But these account for only about 5% by volume of all wines sold. A group of producers known as the "New World"-Australia, California, Chile, South Africa, Argentina and New Zealand-is eating France's lunch in the much larger low and middle segments, which accounted for around 90% of the $100 billion global wine market. France's share of the global export market fell to 23% last year from 32% a decade ago, while the New World producers' share rose to 20% from 6%. |
