Wine business brings hotels to Argentina >>

The booms were set off early in 2002 when the Argentine government defaulted on its debt and devalued its currency-from one peso to the U.S. dollar to three pesos to the dollar. The devaluation opened the floodgates to foreign investment, in many cases in wine country. Wineries both expanded their production and intensified their exports, raising the profile of the wines and creating new customers in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
