Argentina's cultural roots are mainly European,
apparent in its architecture, music, literature
and lifestyle. It is the world's fifth-largest wine
producer in the world. Argentina's vast wine
industry comprises over 490,000 acres of
vineyards, which produce over 440 million
gallons of wine a year. The wine is of
exceptional quality due to its optimal growing
conditions at the foothills of the Andes. Recent
improvements in viticulture and winemaking
have further enhanced Argentine wine
revealing strong character and distinction
among the varieties produced in each region.
The result is exquisite red and white varieties
that are competing among the top wines
of the world.
