allams Select Wines is currently importing wines from Argentina and Uruguay. Both of these countries have gained popularity in recent years among wine lovers and connoisseurs. Argentina is currently the world's fifth largest wine producer by volume — after France, Italy, Spain and the USA in that order — a position it has held for many years. Its wine exports have continued to increase as more vineyards are focusing on higher value wines suitable for the European and American markets. Uruguay has a shorter history in exporting wine but enjoys a long history of wine making and is noted for producing the Tannat grape a long with other varietals. Uruguay and Argentina's latitudes line up with the southern hemisphere's other major wine producers: Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, making these areas ideal places to grow some of the world's finest grapes.
