Abstract: International competition on the wine market is characterised by a disparity of strategies applied by producers and wine-producing regions. We provide a theoretical analysis of the producers? choice between the two main brand strategies: a private brand name and a brand carrying a public certification such as the French ?Appellation d?Origine Contrôlée? (AOC). We show that the latter can be profitable by comparison with the private brand name strategy. However, such a system can lead to underinvestment in quality that can reduce consumer?s surplus.
