Spanish term or phrase: distribución
Sorry to bother everyone with what is apparently a simple term but I am really not sure how to translate it here. It seems to me that what it really means is "sector" or "industry" but if that is so why didn't they say that in Spanish? Or would it be something along the line of "supply chain"? From an academic article on adapting wine production to consumer preferences:

En este sentido, hay que señalar que la cuestión no es que los consumidores consuman o no alcohol pues los que no consumen, en principio no es un mercado principal para los elaboradores de vino sino que el problema radica en que los consumidores de vino tomen, por ejemplo, cerveza y sus tipos, de menor contenido alcohólico.
A su vez, ***la distribución *** no ha sabido acertar en un doble sentido. En primer lugar, desde el punto de vista del precio, el notable incremento de precio del vino desde la elaboración hasta la restauración, que en ocasiones lo ha duplicado y triplicado, ha provocado un rechazo por el consumidor y por tanto ha favorecido el consumo de otras bebidas. En segundo lugar, el ofrecer unos vinos en función de las preferencias de los consumidores, identificando cuáles son sus características de consumo y adaptarse a ellos.

supply chain


Explanation:
My feeling is that the term is pretty broad and includes producers, distributors, marketers, etc. - everyone involved from the production of the product to it reaching consumers.


"In recent years, there has been an increasing realisation of the need for Australian Wineries to develop and maintain quality relationships with their suppliers of grapes. This is especially against the background of the realisation that quality relationships can reduce the level of transaction cost and improve efficiency in the supply chain. One important factor which has been considered as having the potential to enhance and sustain high quality business relationships is the price satisfaction, which measures the perception of the price levels that is paid to the farmers. "

Exploring the nature of price satisfaction in the Australian wine supply chain
The aim of this contribution is to explore the main dimensions of price satisfaction between the Australian grape growers and wineries, and determines its impact on overall price satisfaction.
Based on the results of the online interview with 396 Australian grape growers, we identify price transparency, relative price satisfaction, price quality ratio and price reliability as the main factors which influence grape growers satisfaction with the price.
We conclude that wineries need to focus on the psychological aspect of the price such as price information, stable prices as well as the process of price determination in order to enhance the perception of price fairness from the grape growers.

Supply chain economics/observations:

Your retail $15/bottle of imported wine contains at most wine costing $1-$1.50 (10% at most) at the winery level, and frequently less than $1 (6% of the retail price per bottle). We hope the consumers do not begrudge the growers/wine makers this pittance of total wine bottle cost. Packaging at least triples the winery cost to somewhere between $3 and $5, FOB some major port. - See more at: http://silkbush.com/learn-about-wine/reverse-wine-snobbery-w...

My take is that this is about the people/companies meeting demand and that need to know their market, and this can only be the producers or suppliers.
