    IDK, maybe the overall success of Italian immigration to the USA. Italy is also a pretty popular country for Americans to visit. Italian restaurants are
    #2 most common in the USA.

    Argentina should line the USA, you sell a lot of your wine in the USA. I know I buy it.

    Chile: $1.8 billion (5.8%)
    Australia: $1.6 billion (5.1%)
    United States: $1.5 billion (4.9%)
    Germany: $1.1 billion (3.4%)
    New Zealand: $1.1 billion (3.4%)
    Portugal: $817.7 million (2.6%)
    Argentina: $817.4 million (2.6%)
    South Africa: $698.2 million (2.2%)

    Argentina owed billions to an American hedge company for 15 years (I'm not sure if it was finally settled) and kept trying to circumvent paying up, which caused others to be wary of investing in the nation. So as always when governments fuck up their own economy they blame everything under the sun - including so called greedy Yankees - except themselves for their own economic policies.

    I read some time ago that that was a consecuence of global warming... nowadays you can farm typical mediterranean crops like olive trees or grapevine on more northern latitudes.

    Speaking of that Britain was knows as a wine maker, when it was climate was warmer.
    ‘Medieval Warm Period‘ was obviously warmer than the current climate (and by implication that human-caused global warming is not occuring). This claim comes up pretty frequently, and examples come from many of the usual suspects e.g. Singer (2005), and Baliunas (in 2003). The basic idea is that i) vineyards are a good proxy for temperature, ii) there were vineyards in England in medieval times, iii) everyone knows you don’t get English wine these days, iv) therefore England was warmer back then, and v) therefore increasing greenhouse gases have no radiative effect. I’ll examine each of these propositions in turn (but I’ll admit the logic of the last step escapes me). I’ll use two principle sources, the excellent (and cheap) “Winelands of Britain” by geologist Richard C. Selley and the website of the English Wine Producers
    http://www.realclimate.org/index.php...-english-wine/

    In recent years I think British wine makes are using grapes adapted for cooler climates.
