Argentine winemakers have traditionally been more interested in quantity than quality and the country consumes 90% of the wine it produces. However, the
desire to increase exports fueled significant advances in quality. Argentine wines started being exported during the 1990s, and are currently growing in popularity. The devaluation of the Argentine peso
in 2002 further fueled the industry as production costs decreased and tourism significantly increased, giving way to a whole new concept of wine tourism in Argentina. Mendoza Province is now one of
Argentina's top tourist destinations and the one which has grown the most in the past years.
