Want to know the secret to making a fortune with private brand wine?
It's all about one simple, yet powerful concept: BE GLOCAL! šā”ļøš
Youāve probably heard the term āglocalā before, and yes, itās the brainchild of one of the most successful fast food chains in the world (you know who they are š).
But letās break it down and see how it can transform your wine business.
Ready? Letās go! š
What Does "Be Glocal" Really Mean? š¤
āBe Glocalā is a mix of globalĀ and local. It's about creating products that can be sold anywhere in the worldĀ š, but with a special twist that caters to the local marketĀ š”. And when it comes to private label wine, this idea is a game-changer!
French wineries often love to produce a range of wines and simply say, āTake this wine, it's very good!ā But here's the thing: no two markets are the same. š”

Understanding Local Taste = Big Success šø
To make a fortune with private brand wine, the key is to listenĀ to what your customers in each market truly want and craftĀ the perfect wine for them.
Here's how the local preferences can change the game:
š· In France, people love acidityĀ in white wines. They go for mineral, clear, and crisp wines, and they donāt want anything too sweet.
š In Asia, the preference is for easy-to-drink whites, with a gentler acidity. No oneās looking for a sharp, citrusy bite.
š¾ In the Philippines and South America, they prefer traditional corks with capsules, while in Northern Europe, theyāre all about screw caps (at least for rosĆ© and white). š¤
š· In China, consumers are crazy for red winesĀ with higher alcohol content (think 15% or 16% ABV), whereas Southern EuropeĀ likes theirs around 12.5% ABV.
š¾ In North America (USA and Canada), fruit-forward, easy-to-drink French winesĀ are preferred, especially from regions like LanguedocĀ and Provence. Americans tend to appreciate lighter, fresh wines, such as RosĆ© from ProvenceĀ and Beaujolais. While French BordeauxĀ is still popular, thereās a growing interest in more accessible, less tannic, and less complex styles. Screw capsĀ are often well accepted in this market, especially for wines meant to be consumed young.
š· In the UK, French wines with high acidityĀ (such as Chablis, Loire whites, and Bordeaux whites) are favored. British consumers enjoy elegant, crisp, and refreshing winesĀ with a minerally edge, reflecting the country's preference for lighter, well-balanced wines. Screw capsĀ are more accepted in the UK market, especially for wines intended for early consumption.
š In South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile), where local wine production is prominent, French wines with a more traditional styleĀ are favored, with BordeauxĀ and BurgundyĀ particularly in demand. Consumers here appreciate wines with a strong sense of terroirĀ and a more classic approach to aging. Cork closuresĀ are generally preferred, with some skepticism about screw caps.
šØ Mature marketsĀ often love trendy, fresh labels. But in emerging markets, especially for French wines, people still adore traditional labelsĀ with ChĆ¢teau illustrations.
Private Label Wine: Your Key to Local Success! š
This is where private label wineĀ becomes your golden ticket! šļø Unlike mass-produced wines, with private label wines, you have the freedom to create exactly what works for your local market. Whether itās a specific wine style š·, the right alcohol percentage, or even packaging preferences, you can customize everything.
