National Wine Day in Chile
National Wine Day in Chile is held on September 4. This event in the first decade of the month September is annual.
Chilean Wine Day has been celebrated every September 4 since 2015. At that time, President Michelle Bachelet signed a decree at Viña Cousiño Macul, within which she recognized this celebration. In addition, this particular day dates back to 1545, when Don Pedro de Valdivia sent a letter to Charles V in Spain, requesting "vines and wines to evangelize Chile".
Since then, the wine industry in Chile has developed to such a level that, by establishing this day as a national holiday, they ranked worthy among wine exporting countries.
In 2021 Statista released a ranking in this regard. To the surprise of Latin America, only two countries in the region appear among the top 10: Chile, in fifth position, with exports exceeding 1,664 million euros.
