Las Uvas de la Ira:
La Industria del Vino Se Recupera
By Julian DowlingLas viñas de Chile ya limpiaron el vino derramado y la mayoría está nuevamente operando como de costumbre luego del terremoto, pero los productores de vino tendrán que trabajar arduamente para mantener el crecimiento de las ventas en medio de los mayores precios y el aumento de la competencia.
La furia de la Madre Naturaleza se desató sobre las viñas chilenas en la madrugada del 27 de febrero cuando el poderoso terremoto rasgó los tanques de acero llenos de uvas fermentándose, rompió barriles y destrozó botellas en las principales regiones vitivinícolas del país.
“Nuestros estanques de almacenamiento colapsaron y el vino estaba por todas partes, era un caos”, recuerda José Miguel Viu, managing director de la familiar Viña Viu Manent en el Valle de Colchagua, a unos 150 Km.

Grapes of Wrath:
The Wine Industry Recovers
By Julian DowlingChile’s wineries have mopped up the spilt wine and for most it’s back to business as usual after the earthquake, but winemakers will have to work hard to maintain sales growth amid rising prices and increasing competition.
Mother Nature’s fury was unleashed on Chilean wineries in the early morning of February 27 as the powerful earthquake ripped open stainless steel tanks full of fermenting grapes, ruptured barrels and smashed bottles in the country’s main wine producing regions.
“Our storage tanks collapsed and wine went everywhere, it was chaos,” recalls José Miguel Viu, Managing Director of the family-run Viu Manent vineyard in the Colchagua Valley, some 150km south of Santiago.
