The wines of Chile and Argentina have a world-wide reputation, but there is still much to be discovered about this Latin American industry which dates back to the original voyages of discovery and conquest by the Spanish and Portuguese. Christopher Fielden first visited Latin America thirty years ago. In the only up-to-date book on the subject, he explores this largely uncharted territory, profiling over 220 wineries by country, from Paraguay to Venezuela, Mexico to Bolivia. He traces their history and examines the issues faced by each, assessing the wines that are emerging now and offering predictions about their future.
