Why am I taking this class? - Emilio Diaz Cotroneo

Wine is probably the most popular alcoholic drink in Argentina. Whether you are having lunch with your family on Sundays, having an 'asado' with friends, or just watching a movie at home; there will always be a bottle of wine next to you...or many.

My parents got me into wine in my early teenage years. Everyone says that wine is an "acquired" taste. However, I recall falling in love for it pretty young. It is hard to think of a family meal without enjoying a bottle of wine altogether.

As I grew up, I got more interested in the "world of wine" itself. I started going to different tasting, getting together with friends to try rare bottles, and made several trips to vineyards in Mendoza and Chile with friends to learn more about this intriguing world.

However, I had never thought about the business side of wine or how the industry works outside South America. I think that taking this class is the perfect opportunity to learn about wine through a different point of view, with a much more global perspective.
