As the fifth-largest wine producer in the world, Argentina is willing to do almost anything to save its crops.

"I'M sad that you see Argentina like this," Pola Oloixarac, my new Argentine friend, said one night in November 2003 as we passed a cluster of figures picking through heaps of garbage bags on the otherwise deserted streets downtown.
