Driving Factors

The growing consumer demands for sweet, perfumed, and unique wines are driving the market. As gourmet eating grows more chic, dessert wines increasingly find their way onto the table at dessert time, served with cheese, pastry, or fruit desserts. Travel wine has also fuelled sales by educating consumers to the unique character and heritage of French dessert wines. In addition, Germany's international reputation as a quality wine-producing nation generates consistent export demand, particularly from Asian and North American markets. Advances in technology in temperature storage and vinification have enabled producers to ensure quality with climatic unreliability. State support, particularly in the form of subsidized sustainable practices and export promotion, also drives market growth.

Restraining Factors

The Germany market for dessert wine is faced with declining wine consumption frequency on the part of young consumers, who consume cocktails or low-proof drinks. Overproduction costs of dessert wines manual harvesting, lengthy maturation periods, and distinctive methods of fermentation are also economically burdensome to producers. Global warming is also increasingly becoming a problem. Higher temperatures could reduce the grape-ripening period or affect the growth of noble rot (utilized in Sauternes), and flavour and yield could be affected. Also, the lower level of awareness for dessert wines over dry table wines could restrain market growth unless promotional campaigns are increased.
