Ripped out of the pages of “Dios es Peruano,” more and more Peruvians are taking a fancy to their own grapes.
Marketing manager of Ica, Peru’s Bodega Vista Alegre, Carlos Perez, stated: “People are starting to appreciate Peruvian wines and now they are not afraid to buy a national wine for dinner.”
I’ve never tried Vista Alegre’s brand, but Tabernero makes a fine enough Borgoña for a non-wine enthusiast like myself to finish off a few glasses.
Perez states that sales are expected to increase by 25% for Father’s day in addition to citing that these percentages could be 50% more compared to last month’s sales.
