STATE INTERVENTION IN WINE MARKETS IN THE EARLY 20THCENTURY: WHY WAS IT SO DIFFERENT IN FRANCE AND SPAIN?

Abstract: In the early twentieth century, governments not only used trade policy to protect domestic agricultural markets, but they also introduced regulations affecting quality, quantity and prices. In this article I assess the differences in the state intervention in wine markets in two major wine-producing countries, France and Spain, and try to explain the reasons for them. To do so, I examine the specific features of their markets and productive systems, the winegrowers' collective action, and the political framewo… Show more

“…When analysing why most of the first cooperative wineries were in Catalonia, Planas (2016) underlined two factors. On the one hand, in many Catalan villages wine-growers created societies affiliated to the Vine-growers Federation of Catalonia ('Unió de Vinyaters de Catalunya'), which was led by large landowners and sought to put pressure on the public authorities to promote the export and consumption of wine (Planas 2013(Planas , 2017; according to Planas, this associative network facilitated the spread of cooperative wineries throughout the region. On the other hand, between 1914 and 1925 Catalonia enjoyed a certain degree of political autonomy and its authorities, contrary to what was being carried out in the rest of Spain, worked actively to foster the spread of cooperatives.…”

“…Si los 1880s fueron, sobre todo durante su primera mitad y gracias en especial a la demanda procedente de Francia, años de gran prosperidad para los viticultores catalanes y españoles, en las primeras décadas del siglo XX el sector padeció situaciones de sobreoferta y grandes dificultades (Pan-Montojo 1994, Fernández y Pinilla 2017). Éstas no fueran exclusivas de Cataluña ni España, sino que afectaron a prácticamente todas las regiones europeas productoras de vino común (Planas 2016), pero en Cataluña se dejaron sentir con especial intensidad y la viticultura catalana perdió, según Simpson (1992), competitividad respecto a la de otras zonas de España. En este apartado se razona por qué ello se debió en gran medida a la pérdida de seguridad de los rabassers .…”

“…Tras la filoxera diversos empresarios catalanes fueron capaces de producir competitivamente vino de categoría media-alta y superior, pero seguir de manera generalizada esa política era poco factible, por las características de la demanda mundial y española (Fernández y Simpson 2016, Fernández y Pinilla 2017, Montañés 2017) y de la oferta catalana, caracterizada por la presencia de una multitud de pequeñas explotaciones poco capitalizadas. Pese a que ello podía hacer más frecuentes los episodios de sobreoferta, conseguir que los costes unitarios bajaran aumentando los rendimientos, como en el Midi francés (Carmona y Simpson 2012, Planas 2016), era más sencillo. Muchos técnicos catalanes lo recomendaron fervientemente y, en efecto, la Figura 3 muestra que los rendimientos de la provincia de Barcelona fueron muy superiores a los españoles.…”

“…In order to support their businesses, the European Union (EU) has put in place economic policies that look to increase the international competitiveness of its wineries (Planas 2017;Meloni and Swinnen 2013). The specific policy for the winemaking sector takes the name of the Common Markets Organization (CMO) and is framed in the first pillar of the famous Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).…”
