* MontGras became a successful story only through their marketing strategy. It took a determined path of exporting to the top rated wine importers in the world. * Through heavily exporting to U.K and U.S, MontGras segmented and exposed to some of the top wine consumers in the world * MontGras has been exporting 50% of their wines to U.K, which is strategically a worth move according to the rate of Chilean wines that are being exported to different countries. It’s worth noting that U.K is not in the top ten lists of wine production in the world but they are in number one in importing wine. * U.S is a strategic market for wine consumption and importation but U.S also produce large amount of wine followed by France and European countries.
Moreover, it expensive to distribute wines in the U.S market. Therefore, MontGras decision of exporting 4% volume of wine to U.S is economically a fair deal. * In terms of marketing budget, MontGras had spend high price for marketing in Ireland but it only sold 42,000 cases but in U.K they spend $5000 lesser than Ireland but sold almost 117,000 cases, which is 75,000 more cases sold. * Therefore, MontGras marketing strategy is flawlessly a well suitable strategy to reach, segment and brand to the main wine consumers.

Moreover, the fixed tax of £1 makes this a great market for reservas regardless of retail price. The expensive wines might be at least twice the quality lower end wine in terms of quality of the wine itself.
