– What we pay the vineyard for the wine, bottle and label and box it comes in
• Primary Transport– What it costs per bottle to ship that wine from
the vineyard to the bonded warehouse• Excise Duty• Bonding Charges & secondary transport• Wholesale & Retail margin• VAT
The difference €10 v €12• Wine bought at ex cellar = €2• Primary Transport €0.50 = €2.50• Excise Duty = €1.97 = €4.47• Bonding & Sec Transport = €.0.50 = €4.97• Wholesale Margin ( e.g 20% ) = €6.21• Retail Margin ( e.g 25% ) = €8.28• VAT @ 23% = €1.91 = €10.19 = €9.99
The difference €10 v €12• Wine bought at ex cellar = €3• Primary Transport €0.50 = €3.50• Excise Duty = €1.97 = €5.47• Bonding & Sec Transport = €.0.50 = €5.97• Wholesale Margin ( e.g 20% ) = €7.46• Retail Margin ( e.g 25% ) = €9.95• VAT @ 23% = €2.29 = €12.24 = €11.99
The difference €10 v €12• Wine bought ex cellar €3 has 50% more
value on the wine than the €2 bottle • At the sale price however, there is only
20% • The more you pay ( especially at the lower
end of the market ) you get multiple times more product
• At €15 you are 50% more in price but 110% more at the wine cost
