Things change.

I passed by Vina Mar yesterday to show some tourist how sparkling wine wine is made.

As we entered the winery, i realized that some big changes had been made and the main changes were the fact that all of the bottling and all of the elaboration of sparkling wine done through the Charmat method had been moved out of the Casablanca valley and to the Maipo valley.

This is all to do with the San Pedro wine group which owns Vina Mar and their necessity to cut costs.

Fortunately the traditional method (Champenoise) for making sparking has remained at the vineyard, which is good news.
