Despite the global economic recession in 2009, Argentine wines have continued winning international acclaim for their high quality and wine sales have had an incredible growth. There are stats that show Argentina was the fastest growing import in US, followed by New Zealand, Spain and Chile.
One of my favorite moments as a sommelier is to introduce new amazing wines to our customers and have them share with me their impressions about Argentine wine. I feel proud to be able to witness people from all over the world loving our wine!!
As 2009 is over, we wanted to share with you the Top 10 wines that had the best success and were sold the most!
