Test your Argentinian wine knowledge!


Argentinian wines, Malbec in particular, are becoming increasingly popular in the United States.  Less than 20 years ago, virtually no Argentinian wines were on the shelves in the U.S.  In the last 10 years however, exports of Argentina's full bodied, food-friendly red wines have skyrocketed.  Argentina is primarily known for Malbec, a grape that originated in Bordeaux, France (now primarily only grown in the southwestern part of France, where it is known as Cot).  Malbec is a thinner skinned grape which has thrived in Argentina, but there is a great deal going on in Argentinian winemaking besides Malbec!

Test your knowledge of the wines, the regions, and the styles of Argentina in this great quiz sponsored by the Wines of Argentina, and learn a little something new about this up and coming area.
