Concha Y Toro Isla Negra Merlot 2010 75 cl

Product Information

Commenting on a planned duty increase for wine from 1 August – which will see wine taxed by around 44p more per bottle – he said that the Concha y Toro was looking at ways to try and reduce such a rise by making changes to one of its key products. Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. Telling db that this move is being planned for Isla Negra’s best-selling lines, which are Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, he said that he hopes to have the white and red wines in the UK market with 10.5 to 11% abvs from September.

As for how Concha y Toro is bringing down the abv of Isla Negra wines, Doyle told db that the company was using the spinning cone method of de-alcoholisation, which does add a small cost to the production of Isla Negra, but not enough to offset the reduced duty exposure. News of the move came during a discussion on the current challenges for wine brands in the UK with Simon Doyle, who is managing director at the UK office for Concha y Toro – the owner of Isla Negra, as well as Casillero del Diablo. One of the Britain’s best-selling wine brands, Isla Negra, will soon have a lower ABV in a bid to remain affordable as alcohol duty rises in the UK, db learnt during an exclusive interview last month.Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Isla Negra produces a fresh, dry, fruity sparkling wine, but the rest of the range are wines named after individual grape varieties, or are blends of two of these varieties. While noting that any major changes aren’t possible on a brand like Casillero del Diablo, which “puts quality first,” he said that lowering abv on a “larger scale and lower-alcohol” label like Isla Negra is a route Concha y Toro is prepared to make to prevent a sudden rise in retail prices.

Isla Negra is a seaside village, famous for the artists and writers who come to be inspired by the coast and the mystical landscape. Our wines capture the charms and characteristics of this unique setting, all in one bottle. Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day).Isla Negra – this is the introductory level to the brand and features a range of 2 white and 3 red dual varietals, and a dry, fruity Merlot Rose. The whites focus on the fresh, zesty Sauvignon, with a lively tangy Sauvignon/Semillon, and a richer, smoother Sauvignon/Chardonnay blend. Continuing, he said, “There is pressure to find mitigations, but the concern is that they just aren’t there.

The average level of inflation on wine is 4%, but for other categories, it is 15-18%, and excise duty [increases on wine from 1 August] will drive us towards that level,” he added. We are all worried about inflation and excise duty that will add a good 10% to the cost of a bottle of wine, and wine has not been able to pass on production cost increases like other categories have,” he said. Referring to a change for wine duty that will broadly tax alcohol according to strength, the only way for wine producers to lower their duty exposure is to drop the abv on wines to below 11.5% and that way avoid being taxed at the 12.5% abv rate, which will apply for all wine between 11.5% and 14.5% abv (see table, bottom). The Isla Negra brand of wines is a relative newcomer to the Chilean and the international wine scene, having been launched only in 1995. But its approachable, modern wine styles, and competitive pricing proved very popular, and as a result, Isla Negra is now the 2nd largest Chilean wine brand in the UK.
