- Portugal20 winesPortugal is known for Port from the Douro Valley, fortified Madeira and fresh Vinho Verde, and for native grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Alvarinho. A royal charter of 10 September 1756 demarcated the Douro, making it one of the oldest protected wine regions in the world.

- Chile10 winesChile is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay from valleys such as Casablanca, and Carmenère, a Bordeaux grape long mistaken for Merlot until it was identified in 1994.
