The UK online grocery market is estimated at £4.4 billion (including sales tax and delivery charges) in 2009, having more than doubled (134% growth) in value over 2005-09. Rapidly rising food inflation, particularly in 2008, has contributed to high value growth in the sector, while dampening demand in volume terms. However, even the underlying growth has been explosive. On the consumer side, rising broadband penetration and higher connection speeds, together with the steady expansion of the online grocers’ geographical coverage, has made the service accessible to more people. Meanwhile, the improvements to the online grocers’ services and rising web fluency have encouraged usage.

The report assesses the UK market for Champagne and other sparkling wines, including sales through both the off- and on-trade. Coverage in the report is restricted to wine of fresh grape, produced from the naturally fermented juice of the grape, with a minimum strength of 5.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). Champagne on-trade sales declined by 31% in volume sales in 2009 due in part to declining pub revenues but mainly the product’s high price-point at a time of recession. This means supermarkets alone now account for nearly half of all volume sales.
