The bulk wine trade plays a very important role for the wine business in Germany as it covers a large quantity of the market. The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the German bulk wine market complexities and the long-term development.

The study is based on an exploratory analysis about the trade flow of bulk wine. A new database of the bulk wine transports in the Rhineland-Palatinate region in combination with official statistics provide a detailed insight into the structure and changes of the market.

The trade flow of the transported bulk wine volume shows different developments within the wine-growing regions. Structural changes on a long-term basis are motivated by the improvement of wine quality management requested by the customers and successful strategic management of the companies. The concomitant creation of a two-step-trade model reflects the intensive networking including a division of labor and as such represents a concentration process in the German wine business. Vintage-related short-term variability, however, doesn’t show a great impact on the trade flow organization of German bulk wine.
