When the Argentines drink wine... (video)
When people in Argentina drink wine, they start talking about politics or football and usually the conversation ends in argument, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Argentina to the Republic of Armenia Gonzalo Urriolabeitia said on April 18. He says that his country (Argentina) is the 5th largest wine producer in the world, making an impressive amount of quality wines and wine-growing has an important place in the country’s culture. The Embassy of the Argentine Republic in the Republic of Armenia, in partnership with important local actors, will organize the "Argentine Wine Week" in Yerevan from April 17 to 23 in an effort to familiarize Armenian consumers with wines of Argentina. A number of activities are planned in the Armenian capital this week. In particular, visitors can taste the famous Malbec wine, as well as the distinctive variety of Argentine wines with significant discounts and special promos in the best restaurants and wine houses of Yerevan throughout the week. Mekhak Apresyan, Head of the Tourism Department of the RA Ministry of Economy, added in turn that the visa-free regime between Armenia and Argentina can boost tourism between the two countries.
