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.

"The storm caused by the country’s strike does not seem to have spread through the wine market. The dynamics from before the conflict have not yet been reestablished, and it is obvious that the marketization obstacles have stopped the climb of prices in the shipments; the dry whites stagnated in 82-85 cents the liter cash and the sulfite must stayed in 82 cents”, reports this excellent study from the San Juan newspaper.

"The dynamics of last May shipments, released this Friday by the National Viticultural Institute (INV), already anticipates the effects of this upheaval.” Reports this morning paper in an analysis of the figures released by the INV (See article).

"This is just the surface, because deep inside production and industry suffer the severe problems that affect the whole economy, and that are covered by the conflict with the country,” reads one of the last paragraphs of this article written by Gabrel Bustos Herrera and that you can find in this link.
