Ahh the Chileans! – Chile wine exports grew in ‘06

Business was very good for the Chilean wine industry in 2006 as exports jumped by almost 10% even though sales were somewhat hurt by a weak U.S. dollar. Yet that has not hampered plans of a possible expansion into the U.S. market where Chilean wines- famed for being inexpensive yet delicious- account for only 2%.

The title of this post was inspired by this infamous clip of a botched wine advert from the 1980s.
