Argentinian Wines: Mendoza and Salta

It is well known that wine production started millions of years ago. Not casually may be that Egyptians produced wines by techniques we still use today. They exported wines, too. Extrictedly labeled. In Egypt, wine production (just as Honey production) was a royalty matter. The best wines were meant for the faraon and his family. Common people consumed the lowest quality of wine.

In Argentina, wines are produced all along the base of the Andes, from the province of Salta to province of Río Negro. This regions are usually dry zones. These kind of greapfruits, grow better in non humid zones.
Mendoza is the most important wine producer. Mendoza roduces 60% of national production and is big in wine exportation, too. The most important production zones are: Agrelo, Valle de Uco Uco (Tupungato, Tunuyán and San Carlos) and San Rafael.
