Abstract

As a recent small Champagne house owner, you know that there is room for growth. For that, you must decide whether to buy grapes from suppliers or expand your vineyards. This strategic choice involves weighing the capital-intensive option of acquiring more land for grape cultivation against flexibility and reduced financial risk of purchasing grapes annually. Moving beyond short-term cost considerations, your decision will emphasize long-term implications for brand positioning, quality control, and resilience to market and climatic uncertainties.
