  The wines of Chile and Argentina have a world-wide reputation, but there is still much to be discovered about this Latin American industry which dates back to the original voyages of discovery and conquest by the Spanish and Portuguese. Christopher Fielden first visited Latin America thirty years ago. In the only up-to-date book on the subject, he explores this largely uncharted territory, profiling over 220 wineries by country, from Paraguay to Venezuela, Mexico to Bolivia. He traces their history and examines the issues faced by each, assessing the wines that are emerging now and offering predictions about their future.

  After Europe, Latin America is one of the major wine producing areas of the world, yet very little has been written about its wines. This title follows the transformation of winemaking in these countries, examines in detail each of the wine-growing areas, and explains how these now extremely popular wines were, until relatively recently, more or less unknown. There are details of more than 230 producers, from Peru to Cuba, with insight into the challenges faced by some of the lesser known countries and regions. It also explains the role of other internationally respected wine names such as Torres, Mondavi and Rolland.
