Product Description
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. Christopher Fielden provides a thorough introduction to the ten wine-producing countries of Central and South America, looking at the history, vine varieties, and 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.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Wines of Argentina, Chile and Latin America (Paperback)
This book, published by Faber & Faber, is poorly structured and edited-not up to the usually high F&F standard. Christopher Fielden has provided a prodigious quantity of words, dutifully arranged in sentences and paragraphs. The effect on the reader who might be looking for useful, accessible and specific information on the wine regions, wine houses and vintages of the important producers of Latin America is wearing. The index is next-to-useless,skim-reading is the only way to track down a wine or producer of interest. There appears to be no addressal of vintners, as opposed to growers who produce their own wines. For Chile, I recommend Hubrecht Duijker's Wines of Chile. It is both accessible, accurate in content and well-written.
