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.

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