Product Information

Moderate - On your feet for much of the day, either standing or occasional slow paced walking. Typical jobs: shop assistant, teacher, chef/cook, bar worker, engineer. Prácticas ambientalmente amigables han sido siempre una parte fundamental de la filosofía de Isla Negra. The Isla Negra brand of wines is a relative newcomer to the Chilean and the international wine scene, having been launched only in 1995. But its approachable, modern wine styles, and competitive pricing proved very popular, and as a result, Isla Negra is now the 2nd largest Chilean wine brand in the UK.

Commenting on a planned duty increase for wine from 1 August – which will see wine taxed by around 44p more per bottle – he said that the Concha y Toro was looking at ways to try and reduce such a rise by making changes to one of its key products. Telling db that this move is being planned for Isla Negra’s best-selling lines, which are Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, he said that he hopes to have the white and red wines in the UK market with 10.5 to 11% abvs from September.Launched in 1995, the Isla Negra brand is all about delivering high quality wines, at great value prices, and was created specifically to bring a range of easy-drinking, enjoyable Chilean wines to the market. As for how Concha y Toro is bringing down the abv of Isla Negra wines, Doyle told db that the company was using the spinning cone method of de-alcoholisation, which does add a small cost to the production of Isla Negra, but not enough to offset the reduced duty exposure. Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores. Isla Negra has contributed significantly to Chile’s position in the marketplace, now holding over 8% of total UK sales. It is owned by Concha y Toro, who also own Casillero del Diablo and is the Chile's largest wine company.

The average level of inflation on wine is 4%, but for other categories, it is 15-18%, and excise duty [increases on wine from 1 August] will drive us towards that level,” he added.

More generally, he said that wine brands were concerned about rising on-shelf prices for drinkers, and particularly at a time when consumers are seeing their disposable incomes fall.

We can afford to reduce the abv to offset some of the excise duty to get to 11% or 10.5% from around 12%,” he said, speaking about Isla Negra. News of the move came during a discussion on the current challenges for wine brands in the UK with Simon Doyle, who is managing director at the UK office for Concha y Toro – the owner of Isla Negra, as well as Casillero del Diablo. We are all worried about inflation and excise duty that will add a good 10% to the cost of a bottle of wine, and wine has not been able to pass on production cost increases like other categories have,” he said.

Isla Negra – this is the introductory level to the brand and features a range of 2 white and 3 red dual varietals, and a dry, fruity Merlot Rose. The whites focus on the fresh, zesty Sauvignon, with a lively tangy Sauvignon/Semillon, and a richer, smoother Sauvignon/Chardonnay blend.

Referring to a change for wine duty that will broadly tax alcohol according to strength, the only way for wine producers to lower their duty exposure is to drop the abv on wines to below 11.5% and that way avoid being taxed at the 12.5% abv rate, which will apply for all wine between 11.5% and 14.5% abv (see table, bottom). Isla Negra produces a fresh, dry, fruity sparkling wine, but the rest of the range are wines named after individual grape varieties, or are blends of two of these varieties. One of the Britain’s best-selling wine brands, Isla Negra, will soon have a lower ABV in a bid to remain affordable as alcohol duty rises in the UK, db learnt during an exclusive interview last month. Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver.

Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day). Wine between 11.5% and 14.5% abv will be treated as if it is 12.5% from 1 August, meaning that some 90% of all still wine will suffer at least a 9% duty rise. Meanwhile, from 1 February 2025, wine is due to be taxed according to strength, with wines taxed incrementally by 0.5% abv, between 11.5% and 14.5%. While noting that any major changes aren’t possible on a brand like Casillero del Diablo, which “puts quality first,” he said that lowering abv on a “larger scale and lower-alcohol” label like Isla Negra is a route Concha y Toro is prepared to make to prevent a sudden rise in retail prices.Isla Negra is a seaside village, famous for the artists and writers who come to be inspired by the coast and the mystical landscape.

Continuing, he said, “There is pressure to find mitigations, but the concern is that they just aren’t there.
