LONDON, Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Few people sitting back and enjoying the delights of their glass of bubbly will have any idea of the difficulties and complexities surrounding this most sparkling of drinks categories.
When most of us think of Champagne we imagine affluence and luxury but we also think cheap fizz in the hypermarkets of France !
Piece together a decline in shipments, the lowest since 2009, falling sales in France with the fact that Champagne's global revenues have increased at a faster rate than volumes, making 2013 one of the five most lucrative in the industry's history.
What makes for such dichotomy ?

It highlights the issues, trends and future prospects in each and how they are influenced by the wider issues affecting the industry as a whole.

- prospects in growing number of countries
- new customers in mature markets - plus emerging destinations
- Marquee brands increasing exports

- role of negiciants
- expansion of vineyards
