Hemorrhaging cabernet: Quake hits Chile winemakers (AP)

March 23rd, 2010

Brett Jackson, chief of the Valdivieso winemaker company, stands next to collapsed wine barrels in Lontue, Chile, Saturday, March 20, 2010. An 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit central Chile last Feb. 27, causing widespread damage, including giant losses in the wine business. The country's major wine operations can collect insurance, repair infrastructure and ride out a rocky season, but smaller producers may need to make do with reduced capacity or be forced out of the market.
