Couper on Chilean Wine

In last week's article on wine, there was a recommendation of 'Gato Negro from Chile'.

It went on to describe this as 'pleasant, soft red good buying' which is all very well if you can divorce politics and eating. For buying this wine is supporting the regime of General Pinochet that has been denounced throughout the world.

Its relationship to the CIA and its use of torture have both been undeniably proved. Therefore I urge everybody to boycott this win. (and all other Chilean goods).
