Wine prices fall as supermarkets take on the discounters

Wine prices are sliding as multiple grocers take on the discounters in a price war, the latest Nielsen figures have revealed. In the past quarter, just two countries – the US and France – saw the average price for a 75cl bottle grow by 1% in the 12 weeks to June 20, according to Nielsen figures in the WSTA Market Report. South Africa and Germany held their price – and the rest of the countries saw it fall.
