Thinks to know about Chile
o Chile makes the most consistently good wines from the South American continent. In particular, Chilean cabernet sauvignons stand out for their quality.
o The large part of the best Chilean wine is sold outside of Chile, Especially in the US, Chile’s leading export market.
o Though Chile built its wine reputation on good values, the unmber of bargains has begun to decrease while the number of moderate and expensive wines continues to rise.
