We have a fairly decent production; our wine production has become a major player in our world presence the last decade, and now you can find chilean wine in most hotels in the world. Grapes are okay; some years ago, we even were boicotted (sp?) by US producers who were threatened with our quality and, specially, price --do a search for "cyanide chilean grapes" and you'll find a very amusing albeit serious story.
Edit: That "producers who were threatened" phrase is somewhat unfortunate. Some people thinks it was just the most expensive phone prank ever. The boicott theory is plausible, but most likely bogus.
