Interview of Wine expert about French Cellar Wine selection.
JancisRobinson.com by Wai Chan Xin, CSW, FWS "If I am asked to reveal anything new in the Chinese wine market, and the boys in The French Cellar certainly table header. They do not carry a lot of wine and they run a wine shop. Everything they do is simple. Each month, they offer two wines for each subscriber according to their quality levels subscribed. Guaranty of pleasant surprise hastily around the same time each month.
Wine drinking habbits in China !
Most people probably do not understand, but in a young country where the culture of wine drinking has been taken by the general public in recent years, most people could not tell the difference between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Buy wines from the old countries of the world, like France, is even more difficult since the varieties used in the blend rarely appear in evidence, except in the case of wine country and Alsace. I think a sensible wine merchant should educate their customers on a regular basis on the various products in the portfolio. These guys have added a touch of education service with tasting notes, prepared by the sommelier Nicolas Rebus, delivered with wines, carefully detailing the visual, smell and taste of wine awaited.
And for a customer like me who is already familiar with the traditional areas produce, I can still indulge in an adventure in the lesser known regions such as Savoy and Corsica. The only catch is that the limited supply, they carry means it must be quick to order additional bottles. If customers do not have the time to learn a lesson on wine, why not bring the lesson to them. Readily available, whenever they want to open the bottle.
Nicolas Rebus the image of the french cellar !

Last Thursday, Fashion’s collective, the fashion digital marketing reference has bring some informations about the digital strategy in China during its event « Cocktails & Conversations » that presented series of topics on adopting a global strategy for the chinese consummer.
Fashion’s collective, a company based in New York that focus on the learning of fashion and luxury brands that use digital marketing, has recently inaugurate its Shanghai office to welcome the brands that are looking for increasing their knowledges of marketing in China.
The discusion has featured many topics about how to optimizate social medias and e-commerce strategies. Booker and Buchwald have also present 7 suggestions on the digital strategy for fashion and luxury brands.
Tips to market a a brand in China
If you are not already on WeChat, do it. Booker has insist on the importance of this app that is realy efficient for doing digital marketing in China because she allows brands to win dividends when it’s used well. According to him, WeChat is working to be more efficient than Weibo in marketing. First of all, it’s not a newsfeed, as messages and shares wait that users open it and don’t dissapear if you travel for exemple. Besides, WeChat users are more reactive than in other social medias. They follow to be aware of the brands news, so you already know what they want. You will not spam them.
The luxury online trade is still young and in development. It’s a real succes in China, but according to Buchwald, many users prefere to buy luxury products directly in shops or with the help of mediators like in Taobao. The Chinese customer will take time to do some researches online but not for luxury goods. He recommands to the brands to focus on important details that will make the online buy esaier for chinese, with a quick and safe delivery, size informations, a quick website and accomodation for chinese payment methods.
« Mix-and-Match » is a popular editorial topic for chinese customers. Buchwald has precises they were ready to buy one or deux key investment pieces, and want to know how to associate them with their wardrobe.
The KOL’s (Key Opinion Leaders) are hard to hire but have an important promotional value. Booker has highlighted the benefits of being supported by a KOL on chinese social medias, and he doesn’t talk only about very notorious celebrities, but also notorious fashion bloggers. He notices that many of them are paid in function of the number of followers.
Both speakers have precized that the brands must constantly keep up with rapid changes. It’s possible that in ont year, the most used social platform doesn’t even exist today.
Some professionals believe that the goal of online branding is to have consumers continually recognize a brand. Others focus on integrating online branding with the overall brand experience of customers in relation to a company, product, or other branded entity. From this perspective, brand recognition is viewed as one component among many, such as brand differentiation (from competitors) and the "Collaboration Age" brand dialog facilitated by Internet and mobile communications. Website development is a key component of online branding as a website is used by companies and individuals to present products and services of a brand. Focusing on a website's appearance, functions, and company message to provide a positive experience to visitors is all part of online branding.Website development for online branding also includes utilizing a blog to generate content for readers interested in topics related to the brand. It has been both recommended and advised against to guest blog on other websites for the purpose of online branding.
Internation World of Mouth (IWOM) is one of the most valuable form of marketing, the one that consumers trust above all others and the one that is most likely to drive sales for a company. It’s using happy customers to promote a business. Its ai mis to provide customers with such an unbelievably amazing, life-affirming product or service that they can’t help but share their experience with firends, family, co-workers, and the random dude who sits at the bus stop every day with his exotic parrot.
Attract the attention of business leaders on emerging issues, open discussion and facilitate networking are the main objectives of small business luncheons that the Community of communes of the Pays des Herbiers organizes at 4 times a year .

It allows to reduce pilot workload to keep them focused on the task regardless of the flight conditions. Note also that certification this summer by the FAA of the Pro Line Fusion biturboprop on the Beechcraft King Air 250 mark, Rockwell Collins, the first use of a touch screen at the PFD (primary flight display) of a commercial aircraft. Prices of base metals traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME) have offered some respite, taking advantage of the closure of Chinese places to resume after plummeting last week.
First ballasted by disappointing economic indicators from China earlier this week, reviving concerns about the slowdown in the global economy and second largest base metal consumer in the world, the prices of industrial metals are then recovered slightly .
Investors were expecting a quiet week in the absence of Chinese operators, last week after trying for their nerves when the price of copper and aluminum had plunged to new lows in six years.
Chinese markets
Chinese markets were indeed closed Thursday and Friday because of the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the Japanese surrender.
Yet "the basic metals market was more active than expected considering the absence of Chinese markets," noted analysts at Standard ICBC and the price of copper, nickel and aluminum in particular took the opportunity to recover. "It will be interesting to see how the markets react to China (the increase) and if the momentum can be maintained", they tempered, however.
The recovery remains fragile copper
Copper prices reached their highest level since Thursday August 11, 5314 in dollars per tonne. But the foundations for a sustainable recovery of the red metal have yet to strengthen.
"A rise in copper inventories suggests that physical demand for this metal is currently quite low," said Caroline Bain, an analyst at Capital Economics. At the end of August, copper stocks stored in the warehouses of LME soared to their highest level in a year and a half, to 371,000 tons.

Slowdown of China
Moreover, the slowdown in the real estate sector continues to weigh on copper, according to several analysts, although they expect that the measures taken by the Chinese government to stimulate the economy are beginning to have the effect on the demand for this metal. Finally, with only 32,000 tons of production "lost" in August, the copper production on disturbances are actually rarer last month compared to July where supply in Zambia, Chile was particularly slow, according to Barclays.
Aluminium in China
Aluminum remains ballasted by a supply glut The price of aluminum rose Thursday to their highest level since the end of July, to 1,641 dollars per tonne while operators cautiously returning to the market. These days trade volumes have increased and exceeded the average of the past year, while prices stabilized and gained ground as Leon Westgate, an analyst at Standard ICBC. But the market remains oversupplied and this should continue to weigh down short-term courses while global demand has increased. "Before it becomes clear that producers will decrease their production, a significant rise in price of gold seems unlikely," concluded Ms. Bain. In turn, the price of lead reached 1.744 dollars per ton Wednesday, its highest level in almost two weeks. The price of tin and zinc are mounted at a maximum since mid-August, respectively 15,365 dollars per tonne and dollars per tonne 1842. On the LME, copper tonne for delivery in three months traded at 5.161 dollars Friday at 12:20 GMT, against 5086.50 dollars the previous Friday at 11:15 GMT. read also http://china-market-research.blogspot.com/2015/08/tcl-on-comeback-trail-with-samsung.html http://china-market-research.blogspot.com/2015/07/microns-decision-to-discourage-buyout.html
Ctrip is likely to make a counter-bid for eLong following a surprise offer from Tencent, sparking a potential bidding war that should ultimately see Ctrip emerge as the victor.
I also have to suspect that this particular bid came without the knowledge of Ctrip, which itself owns 37 percent of eLong. Ctrip got its stake after joining a group that bought out a controlling 62 percent of eLong previously held by US travel giant Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE) earlier this year.
Tencent has owned its stake in eLong since 2011. Ctrip’s recent moves have all pointed to its own buyout offer for eLong, leading me to believe that we could quickly see a bidding war break out for the company.I’ve been predicting for the last few months that leading online travel site Ctrip (Nasdaq: CTRP) would make a buyout bid for former rival eLong (Nasdaq: LONG), so I was quite surprised to read that such a bid has come instead from Internet giant Tencent (HKEx: 700). This particular move is all the stranger because Tencent hasn’t shown much interest in the travel sector before now, though it previously invested in eLong and now owns about 15 percent of the company.
More broadly speaking, this latest buyout offer is part of a bigger wave of similar deals that have seen dozens of US-listed Chinese companies launch privatization bids this year. Most of those companies have failed to attract interest from US investors, and their shares have languished as a result. Many feel they could get better valuations in China, and are trying to de-list from the US and eventually re-list at home. The case with eLong is similar, since the stock never did very well and has lost nearly half of its value since the Ctrip-led buyout of Expedia’s stake back in May. According to eLong, Tencent has now offered to buy all of its shares for $18 each, representing a 27 premium over their last closing price. (company announcement; Chinese article) But that price still represents a discount from the peak of more than $22 that eLong reached back in May when the earlier Expedia buyout was announced.
