From the Publisher
Chile and Argentina have established their place in the world wine markets, while other countries in Latin America are also growing in importance as affordable wines of good quality become ever harder to find. In this book Christopher Fielden provides a thorough introduction to the ten wine-producing countries of Central and South America, examining the history, vine varieties, and wine producers of each country in turn. Since 1990 he has traveled extensively throughout Latin America, and the resulting volume is a discerning guide to the best the region has to offer.

Christopher Fielden has forty years of experience in the wine trade and was the first importer to bring the wines of Uruguay to Britain. He has had a regular column in Decanter and is the author of ten books. He lives in Wiltshire, England.
