Japan’s wine tipplers see glass half empty as weak yen pushes prices higher – Yahoo News

October 21, 2022 by Wine

By Tom Bateman and Rocky Swift

TOKYO (Reuters) – The weak yen required Suzy Iwamoto to raise rates on imported red wines at her bar and bottleshop in Tokyo by about 10% last month, and she fears more walkings might be unavoidable after the yen plumbed levels this week that were last seen 32 years ago.On Friday, a day after the yen moved past 150 per dollar, the federal government reported that core consumer inflation hit an eight-year high of 3.0% in September.Prices on some 20,000 food and beverage products in Japan have gone up this year, according to researcher Teikoku Databank, especially rates for imported products.”It’s not just the dollar. We likewise provide a lot of

European white wines, so total I actually have to think of the rates in store, “said Iwamoto, the owner of the Red wine & Weekend shop in the Nihonbashi location of main Tokyo.” Regrettably I need to pass a few of the concern on to my consumers, which as a store owner is really uncomfortable.”Japan imports about 70%of the red wine consumed in the nation, the majority of it originating from France, Chile, Italy, and the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Wine producers in the U.S. are raising base costs, however then the yen’s decline has actually led to a double whammy for customers in Japan, stated Andrew Dunbar, the president of Iconic Wine Japan, which handles imports of about 30 brands.The business raised costs by 10%throughout the board in September and will likely need to warn distributors of

another walking within a few months, Dunbar added.In specific, Japan is the most significant market for France’s Beaujolais Nouveau, with this year’s first deliveries of the fruity white wine arriving this week.Major drinks business Kirin Holdings Co and Suntory Holdings raised rates on their Beaujolais bottles by 40%or more this year, and reduced the range of offerings.”The expense of importing red wines in Japan has never ever been as high as today, “said Eric Jean-Pierre Simon Dahler, the owner of White wine Prosperite, which deals primarily in imports

from France. “Restaurants in Tokyo are not buying wines, and private customers are really mindful about investing money.” Story continues Even prior to the yen’s precipitous decrease from August, customer costs were rising in Japan after decades of deflation, due to logistics logjams from the COVID-19 crisis and soaring energy costs triggered

by the war in Ukraine.”It’s not just white wine, in basic whatever’s increasing, particularly my preferred imported products,”stated Maiko Kissaka, a 49-year-old supervisor at a foreign investment firm.”It is difficult however I keep purchasing them. I’ll cut down on other things, I do not want to cut back on booze.”(Reporting by Tom Bateman and Rocky Swift; Editing by Simon Cameron-Moore)
