Chicago Wine-Vino Latino: The Politics of Wine in Spain, Argentina, and Chile. University of Chicago

The Politics of Wine in Spain, Argentina, and Chile (Autumn 2005)
Course Number: LACAPW
Spain has become one of the most exciting wine countries in the world and its wines have been widely praised by critics and consumers. Argentina and Chile have undergone major changes to become South America’s best producers. We will examine how the potent blend of wine and politics in these three countries has resulted in parallel transitions including the replacement of dictatorship with democracy, the upgrading of technology and winemaking skills, and the internationalization of the wine community. This course includes the pairing of regional wines and hors d’oeuvres at Fox & Obel. Registration deadline: September 15.

The course is taught by Tyler Colman. Mr. Colman hold a PhD from Northwestern University. He writes about the politics and economics of wine on DrVino.com. He has written articles for the Chicago Tribune and Wine Business Monthly, and contributed the entry on wine politics for the forthcoming Oxford Companion to Wine.
