That's a shame. I used to love Chilean wines. I stopped drinking them only because I gave up alcohol

It's sad for my country, but it's a worldwide problem as there is a current serious oversupply.

Fortunately my family converted our small farm to producing table grapes and avocados.

Many of neighbors though I was foolish due to high labor costs, but no one expected the high influx of immigration we've experienced.

We've been successful focusing on the UK and USA markets. (Primary TESCO and Wegmans.)

Best regards in enjoying Chilean table grapes!

The big problem is the lack of money in the pockets of Western workers.

Only a tiny fraction of Western people can afford to consume superfluous products.

Well actually there is a large segment of customers that are available to purchase table grapes, avocados and especially wine.

Especially the USA and Europe.
