  • Heineken Austria in the anti-trust crosshairs

    Heineken Austria in the anti-trust crosshairs
    Jul 12 2024
    The Austrian Federal Competition Authority seeks to fine Dutch Heineken and its Austrian subsidiary Brau Union potentially billions of euros for market abuse and violations of the anti-trust ban. In June, the watchdog submitted a 260-page application for an “appropriate fine” to the cartel court. It had found evidence that the beer market leader Brau Union “cemented” its dominant position by using unlawful methods. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier discuss the case, while drawing attention to Europe’s brewers and their previous cartel shenanigans. They wonder why Heineken Austria has been kept on a long leash and allowed to operate a vast number of breweries, while its parent has closed production plants right, left, and centre across the continent.

  • Wines and spirits have often become pawns in geopolitical spats - and why beer is mostly spared

    Wines and spirits have often become pawns in geopolitical spats - and why beer is mostly spared
    Feb 29 2024
    In January, the Chinese government launched an anti-dumping inquiry into all brandy and cognac imported from the EU. Cognac producers deny the allegation. In reality, they have been caught in the crossfire of a tit-for-tat trade dispute between Brussels and Beijing. By targeting cognac, China is expressing its displeasure not just with the EU’s probe into China’s subsidies for electric vehicles, but also with the EU Commission’s plans to de-risk the bloc's bilateral relations with China. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier look at trade disputes past and present and explain why wines and spirits make for ideal targets in cross-retaliatory measures and punitive tariffs.

  • Modelo Especial’s seemingly unstoppable rise to the top spot in the US beer market and why luck still played a big part

    Modelo Especial’s seemingly unstoppable rise to the top spot in the US beer market and why luck still played a big part
    Nov 6 2023
    The brewer of Modelo Especial, Constellation Brands, struck it lucky twice in the past 30 years: first in 1996, when Mexico’s Grupo Modelo awarded them an evergreen contract to import Corona Extra into the US; then in 2013 after trustbusters at the US Department of Justice forced a settlement on AB-InBev during its takeover of Grupo Modelo, which turned Constellation into an independent, fully integrated, and economically viable beer industry competitor. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier lift the fog of history and tell an exciting story.
