Argentine Grapes

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The development of the wine trade is in keeping with the phenomenal progress of the rest of the country. Although the great bulk of the product is not of the highest quality, the presses turn out each year enormous quantities that beat the labels of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Moselle, and Muscate, produced from the very best imported vines. Other fruits have been found to grow equally well in this section: peaches, pears, and plums reach a high state of culture, whiles apples, quinces, and cherries do very well. It is the boast of the Argentine that his country is capable of producing every conceivable kind of fruit, and it is not an idle boast."
