In the last year accompanied the new economic reality of the country and the increase in its price Average was below inflation measured by INDEC. In that period, reached 35.9%, much lower than the 47.3% increase in CPI.

The data arises from Wine Price Index (IPV) last April prepared by “Vinodata”, The Research Center dedicated to the study of the Argentine Wine Market dependent on the Interdisciplinary Institute of Political Economy of Buenos Aires (IIEP-UBA) of the Faculty of Economic Sciences.

In April the price of a representative bottle was $ 6,605. The simple average price of the labels relieved by Vinodata was $ 32,733, while that of a typical bottle was $ 18,300.

How the wine price index is calculated

As Vinodata explains, the IPV is calculated by relieving the list prices of the labels marketed in the market through different sales channels. To estimate it, weights are used that assign a different weight to each label within the sample according to the price range to which they belong.

With this methodology, three estimates calculated: the average price (or price of an average bottle), the medium price (or, as we will refer to here in this indicator, the price of a typical bottle) and the average price weighted by consumption level (or price of a representative bottle).
