Argentina Wine Quotes

Adolf Eichmann went to the gallows with great dignity. He had asked for a bottle of red wine and had drunk half of it. He refused the help of the Protestant minister the Reverend William Hull who offered to read the Bible with him: he had only two more hours to live and therefore no “time to waste.” He walked the fifty yards from his cell to the execution chamber calm and erect with his hands bound behind him. When the guards tied his ankles and knees he asked them to loosen the bonds so that he could stand straight. “I don’t need that ” he said when the black hood was offered him. He was in complete command of himself nay he was more: he was completely himself. Nothing could have demonstrated this more convincingly than the grotesque silliness of his last words. He began by stating emphatically that he was a Gottgläubiger to express in common Nazi fashion that he was no Christian and did not believe in life after death. He then proceeded: “After a short while gentlemen we shall all meet again. Such is the fate of all men. Long live Germany long live Argentina long live Austria. I shall not forget them.” In the face of death he had found the cliché used in funeral oratory. Under the gallows his memory played him the last trick he was “elated” and he forgot that this was his own funeral. It was as though in those last minutes he was summing up the lesson that this long course in human wickedness had taught us-the lesson of the fearsome word-and-thought-defying banality of evil.

In Argentina, such as in most of the New World wine producing countries, there is no controlled designation of origin system, although some winemakers are working towards establishing a structure where the region in which wines are made can become more distinguished. Argentina is the fifth largest wine producing country in the world, and has three main wine regions: the northern region which includes Salta, Catamarca and la Rioja; the central region, where San Juan, Mendoza and Córdoba are located; and the south, with Río Negro and Neuquén. More than 50% of Argentina's wine is produced in Mendoza.

France is the largest wine consumer with 34.5 million yearly hectoliters; then Italy with 30.8 million; followed by The United States with 21.2 million; Spain with 13.8 million and Argentina with 12.4 million. The annual per capita consumption is at 63.5 liters in Luxemburg, 57 liters in France, 54.7 liters in Italy and 50.2 liters in Portugal.
