Case Study: Ernest and Julio Gallo Wine Andy Trinchero Greg Tocitu Margaret Salyer Earnest and Julio Gallery Wines is on of the largest family operated wineries in the world. They started as a small winery in Modesto, California in 1933. They eventually grew into a large corporation.

The region is thriving, and the energy and passion of the local community is contagious. This region is now regarded mainly as a red table wine area, but has made very good Riesling and other white wines in the past. Marketing difficulties, not wine quality have meant that white wines are no longer grown so commonly in the region. On international markets, the McLaren Vale brand is associated with premium quality wines. In 2006-2007, export sales for wine labelled McLaren Vale exceeded $7.1 million.
The root of poverty is caused by lack of access to land, a vulnerable environment, and low agricultural production (“Rural Poverty in Honduras”). About sixty percent of the land in Honduras is still forested, but only twenty-five percent of that is obtainable for agriculture (“Honduras: Economy”). In the twentieth century the Honduran economy was based on one commodity, bananas. Like other third world countries, whose livelihood depends solely on one export, the Honduran economy was at the mercy of the world market and its current prices. Efforts to diversify agriculture and expand manufacturing have shown some slight improvement.
Lots of things are made from wood everyday but it has nowhere near the same production that hemp has. Along with what Dean Curran wrote, David A. Bainbridge writes in his article “Ecocomposite: Hemp Fibers” that, “Hemp can produce 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre which is four times what an average forest can yield. Hemp grows very densely which does not allow room for weeds and no herbicides are needed for farming industrial hemp” (Bainbridge). Hemp produces more fibers then wood, it also produces more quickly and rapidly then wood does. Trees may take up to 20 to 30 years to fully grow before a person can use that wood and timber to create
Hemp produced almost 3x the amount of fiber per acre than cotton did, but the cotton gin greatly reduced the labor cost of cotton. With the invention of the cotton gin, America left behind a crop that was more versatile than the soybean, the cotton plant, and the Douglas fir
Unlike today there were only a very few important cities although they contained a very small population in comparison to what our cities are made up of today. Farms and rural villages were the most common form of community throughout the west. In the 1500’s there were no giant companies like the ones of today. Almost all production was local, this was because transportation was slow and costly. Regions had a tendency to grow

Spanish Food History Spanish food history may be among the most varied and interesting in the world. Since before the Romans the Iberian Peninsular has received influence from many cultures and regions and its gastronomy has evolved along with each century, each invasion and each conquest. Even today, Spanish cuisine is still evolving and continues to be one of the forerunners in the promotion of the healthy Mediterranean diet. The Romans contributed with olive oil and wine, the Arabs with different gazpachos, irrigation systems, almonds and many other popular and nowadays common products, the ollas we know today would not have been possible without their Sabbath celebration and specific preparation method, and one of Spain's star product, ham, would not be among the best in the world if it wasn't for Christians. The Mediterranean diet is known for being as tasty as it is healthy, and the fact is this is largely in part to the natural produce cultivated and harvested in the region.
The retail prices of these of their wines ranges from $2 to upwards of $20. The amount of vineyards owned by these wineries ranges from 700 to 17000 acres. There wineries offer diverse brands and most of them haven’t restrained themselves to a specific category of wine. Threat to entry: Low The wine industry is pretty mature in the United States with multiple established players already have either joint partnerships with independent growers or have their own vineyards. Entering a US market would be difficult since setting up a winery is a capital intense project and a new entrant may not be able to match the flexibility of prices or brands of the established players.
