| Analysis
Argentinean
situation
The
exact term that would define the viticultural situation
in Argentina is worrisome. The Cuyo newspaper, edited
in San Juan -second main district of the country’s
wine producers- affirms that May was a negative month,
but June will be even worse. The strike has meant an
incredible blow, but the national economy situation
constitutes the main obstacle for the viticultural area.

is difficult to have an opinion about “an apparent

decision of changing its status from full member to observer
member. He admits the difficulties that arise in establishing
a stable internal politics, that prevent the reestablishment
of its old status in the OIV: “I’m positive
that it will be a full member by October.”
