“Brazil’s wine industry is more than 100 years old, but until recently, very little of its wines have left the country. However, for the past five years, the South American nation’s vintners, with government support, have ramped up their export efforts. And their three major targets are the United States, China and the U.K.
“The U.S.A. is our No. 1 target export country,” explained Diego Bertolini, director of marketing for Wines of Brasil. “The fact that more than 120 million Americans drink wine, and the market continues to grow, makes the U.S. an ideal export destination.” But Brazil faces several challenges, none more significant than Americans’ unfamiliarity with Brazilian wine.” 🍁🍷
