ONDE COMPRAR VINHOS EM MENDOZA E SEUS PREÇOS.

How many bottles can be brought per passenger and the value limit. 00:00 I just got back from Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina, and I'm going to show you the prices of the wines I bought and where I bought them. I'll explain how many bottles each passenger can bring on the plane and the maximum value to avoid problems with customs. Also, which currency is most advantageous to bring: real, peso, or dollar? 00:58 How many bottles can I bring? Each tourist can enter the country with up to 12 liters of alcoholic beverages. Since most wines are 750 ml, you can bring up to 16 bottles, respecting the quota of one thousand dollars for all products brought in baggage, which is more than five thousand reais. Gol and Aerolineas Argentinas allow each passenger to carry a box with half a dozen bottles as hand luggage, in addition to their carry-on bag. But this box must be placed under the seat in front, that is, where you put your feet. How to bring 16 bottles per passenger? You can take six bottles on board, and the other 10 you can check in. However, you have to pay for extra baggage, and the company is not responsible if any bottles break. Therefore, you need to arrange for a special box to protect the wines at the store. Respecting the quota, you can bring bottles in your checked luggage, but they must be very well packed to prevent breakage. 06:13 What currency to bring? Today, given the crisis in Argentina, it is more advantageous to bring dollars and exchange them at Câmbio Blue, a kind of parallel exchange rate that is very advantageous. 07:50 Where to buy wine? Before going shopping, check Câmbio Blue in Mendoza online. Here is the link: https://www.cotizacion.co/mendoza/ You have two options for where to make your purchases: directly at the winery you are visiting or at shops in the city. Wineries always offer discounts if you buy more than one bottle. However, they require you to include the winery's flagship wine, that is, the most expensive one. The store also gives discounts on the purchase of half a dozen bottles. 09:28 Which wine to buy? Some prefer quantity, that is, they bring as many bottles as possible of low to medium value to replenish their cellar. I preferred to buy wines that I wouldn't buy in Brazil because of the high price; my choice was to bring quality wines. 10:20 Shopping at Bodega Caro. The first visit was to Bodega Caro, where we tasted three wines: Aruma, an entry-level wine; Peti Caro, an intermediate wine; and the top-of-the-line Caro. It's fantastic. I was thrilled and bought all three. Since I was buying the top-of-the-line wine, I got a 20% discount. But at Caro, the exchange rate wasn't the best. It was 1 dollar for 220 pesos. As I said, I was excited about the quality of the wines and made a purchase. I would have gotten a better price at the store. Converting to reais, the prices were as follows, already with the discount: Aruma - R$ 43.00; Peti Caro – R$ 93.00 and Caro, the top of the line - R$ 511.00. 12:34 Malbec Wineshop. In addition to these three bottles, I bought nine more and opted for a new store, Malbec Wineshop, which was around the corner from my hotel. Av. Sarmiento 762. 15:02 Price of the wines. At Malbec Wineshop they exchanged one dollar for 260 pesos. It was very good and I got a 20% discount on seven wines. But two high-quality wines from Catena Zapata did not have a discount. Let's go to the wines and prices. -Malbec Argentino – Mendoza – R$ 398.00. -Nicolás Catena, Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon blend – R$ 409.00 – These two did not receive a discount. Next are the seven wines with a 20% discount, for having bought more than half a dozen. -This is an exception, a cheaper wine. San Pedro Yocochuya Torrontés – R$ 32.70. I bought it because I really appreciate Torrontés from Salta. This Torrontés bears the signature of Michel Rolland -Yocochuya – Salta – Malbec – R$ 193.00 -Gran Enemigo Cabernet Franc – R$ 164.00 -Achaval Ferrer Finca Mirador – R$ 323.00 -La Linterna Chardonnay – R$ 336.00 -Zuccardi – Fossil – R$ 255.00 -Dama del Abrigo Rojo – R$ 209.00. I bought it on recommendation. It's a Nebbiolo, the symbolic grape of Piedmont. 18:20 Two more stores Besides Malbec Wineshop, there are two other stores that are highly recommended. Sol y Vino, located on the same street as Malbec Wineshop, less than a hundred meters away, Av. Sarmiento 664. Also La Casa Del Vino, located at Aristides Villanueva 160. ------------------- I am Mauricio Ferreira, a wine enthusiast, and my mission is to share knowledge about the world of wine in a simple and straightforward way, so that everyone can understand.
