Got myself one of those 2L cartons of white wine. My, is it ever good! The box says "Santa Rita". I do all my shopping on foot, so the carton format makes a lot more sense for me than heavy glass bottles.
In Montreal, you can buy 4L cartons of wine in a supermarket for around $40 (so $20 for 2L or about four times as expensive). Looking at one of my grocery bills, the price for the 2L box was CLP 2790, minus a discount of CLP 300 - so CLP 2490. This is about $5 Canadian.
With all that wine production, I figured that Chile MUST be making brandy as well -
Bingo!

Racing row boats are common here - see them every day, almost all day - from early morning to dusk. Everything from single sculls to eight man boats.
