CHILEAN WINE INDUSTRY ALIGNS IN NEW TRADE GROUP

In hopes to further strengthen its export market, Chile has created a new wine association called “Vinos de Chile A.G.” The group covers 95 wineries and 95% of the total exported wine market. Until recently, the Chilean wine industry was divided into two main groups, one made up of large wineries and the other consisting of boutique wineries. Could this have positive implications for the future of the Chilean wine industry in other countries?

After a closed voting, René Merino, General Manager of Casa Tamaya winery was named president and Javier Bitar from San Pedro Winery as vp.
