  • Argentina's Booming Vineyards
    May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque. For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Mendoza, in the far west of the country, where the flat expanse of the pampas rises abruptly into the Andes, has long been the centre of the Argentine wine industry. Until recently, it produced cheap plonk for local consumption, but it is fast emerging as a major wine region to rival the best that Europe can offer. Its signature malbecs are finding their way to the world's finest restaurant tables and, in Mendoza itself, boutique vineyards and designer tasting-rooms are all the rage. Foreigners are buying into the boom. An acre of land here costs a fraction of the price you would pay in the Loire Valley or around Bordeaux, and there's plenty of it. Nigel Cooper is a Briton who recently bought 10 acres in the Uco Valley, a sublimely beautiful area some 40 miles south of Mendoza city.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 3/31/2015 GAIN Report Number: Argentina Wine Annual Argentina Wine Annual Report Approved By: Caleb O'Kray Prepared By: Andrea Yankelevich Report Highlights: Post forecasts Calendar Year (CY) 2016 grape production at 2.67 million metric tons (MMT) under normal weather conditions and maintaining the current good sanitary conditions of the vineyards. CY 2015 grape crop is estimated to be 2.65 million metric tons (MMT). Quality is reported to be very good. Wine production in CY 2015 is projected to slightly increase to 1.53 billion liters, compared to 1.51 billion liters produced in CY 2014. Inflation and an overvalued local currency continue to make exports from Argentina less competitive, generally making only exports of higher value wines viable. Executive Summary: Post forecasts CY 2016 grape production at 2.67 million metric tons (MMT) under normal weather conditions and maintaining the current good sanitary conditions of the vineyards. That is an average crop and very similar to CY 2015 figures. Post estimates CY2015 grape production at 2.65 MMT, one percent increase compared to CY 2014 (2.63MMT total grape production). Overall weather conditions in the provinces of Mendoza and San Juan (where 94 percent of the total grape crop is produced) have not caused significant problems, especially with timely rainfall and very little frost and/or hail. Thus final yield figures are expected to be slightly higher than average.

    INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES Wine Industry in Argentina Unique Terroir + Tradition + Freedom to Innovate = Extraordinary wines to meet global market needs Photo: Carlos Calise. Courtesy of Wines of Argentina Highlights >> A GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY The international wine market has continued to develop over the years. Consumers have become increasingly sophisticated and enthusiastic about new varieties and fl avors. World consumption is expected to grow 6% over the period 2008-2012, driven by new consumers in high potential markets such as the United States, China, United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil and Japan. In world markets, the so-called New World producers are coming on strong with a growing share of global exports. In this context, Argentina has a unique opportunity being both part of the New World as a key wine exporter in the global market and of the Old World thanks to its long-term tradition in wine production. Argentina combines terroir, expertise and freedom to innovate and is rapidly unleashing all its potential to meet global market needs. >> GROWTH POTENTIAL The Argentine wine industry was transformed during the past decade. Growth and modernization positioned the country as a key global player. Today it is both one of the largest domestic markets and one of the main global exporters. But it is poised for more: wine exports grew 29.0% in 2008 alone. Dynamic players and innovation continue to improve the industry’s prospects, yielding endless possibilities along the way. During the fi rst four months of 2009 glass-bottled wine exports continued to increase and were up 8.7% in volume notwithstanding the global economic downturn.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2020 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2020 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2020 Study Guide as compared to the 2019 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2019 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-maps-2020/ Page 12: the second paragraph concerning phenolics and polymerization was updated to read as follows: Over time, some phenolic compounds, particularly tannins and pigments, tend to polymerize, or combine into longer molecule chains. These chains may eventually become too heavy to stay suspended in the liquid and may drop out of the solution as sediment. This development has a major impact on the flavor of the wine and is one of the main results of the aging process. In many cases, the production of sediment in a properly-aged red wine renders a wine lighter in color and less astringent. However, it should be noted that new research indicates that polymerized tannins can possibly continue to alter in structure and may eventually break down during extended aging; thus is may be impossible to predict how the tannins in a well-aged wine will be perceived by the taster. Page 84: The statistics concerning the world wine production and trade have been updated as follows: • The global volume of wine produced in 2018 is estimated at 292 million hectoliters (mhl), the equivalent of nearly 3.2 billion cases of wine.
