This think tank was launched at the annual assembly of Federvini and developed in partnership with Nomisma Wine Monitor and Mediobanca to monitor trends in the wine and spirits sector, with a special focus on corporate structure and changes in consumer habits (https://www.federvini.it/news-cat/1360-nasce-l-osservatorio%20wine-spirits-di-federvini,-think-tank-su-valore-e-andamento-della-filiera).
Mediobanca's contribution to the report involves 215 companies with an aggregate turnover of €12.2bn (54% of which is exported) and employing more than 22,000 people. The earnings/financial data are complemented by information obtained from interwiews carried out to estimate pre-closing figures for 2018, expected sales for 2019, and further details on commercial structure.
