WINE 7003EX - Australian Wine in the Asian Century

External - Trimester 2 - 2020

As the world economic centre of gravity shifts towards Asia, the accompanying rapid urbanisation and the growth of the Asian countries middle classes is driving demand growth for premium and luxury products and services. Wine consumption and sales in Asian markets have been stimulated by this trend and the Australian wine industry has benefitted as Asian markets have increased their destination share of Australian wine exports - particularly for higher value segments - with prospects for further growth. However there are formidable challenges for Australian wine businesses in securing a greater share of this increasing demand against global wine competitors and even local producers in some markets. As well there are substantial differences between the wine demand growth potential and of the market structure and business culture of individual Asian markets. Whilst wine export prospects will be dominated by wine consumption in China, other emerging wine markets such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and India will join more established wine markets such as Singapore, Japan and South Korea as Asian target markets offering export growth potential. This course focuses on the potential of these markets and provides an understanding of market opportunities as well as barriers to success. This includes analysis of economic drivers and wine market structures and wine consumption behaviours. Market entry strategy options and understanding of differing distribution and retail systems are explored. The course also provides insights to cross cultural issues and business to business relationship strategies in an Asian context. There is an emphasis throughout on the objective of Asian wine business relationships and outcomes that will contribute to the sustainable profitability of the Australian wine industry and individual wine businesses, distinguishing this from opportunistic trading for short term wine export sales results.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
