The report by the National Institute of Viticulture (INV) reveals a shift in Argentina's wine industry towards producing High Oenological Quality (ACE) grapes, with a 20.7% increase since 2000, despite the total grape production area remaining similar to that of 2000 and a decrease from 2010. Red grapes, particularly Malbec, are the most cultivated, followed by whites and a small percentage of rosés. The provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, and Catamarca, which account for a significant portion of the country's wine production, have a lower percentage of ACE grapes compared to other provinces. This trend indicates a focus on quality over quantity, with a decrease in the cultivation of certain white grape varieties but an increase in newer varieties like Petit Manseng and Alvarinho.

Although the total area currently devoted to grape production is almost identical to that existing in 2000 – but 7.6% less than in 2010 – the same does not occur with the total hectares occupied by the production of varieties considered to be of “High Oenological Quality (ACE)”, which have increased by 20.7% since the beginning of this century. This shows a clear reconversion of the productive objectives of Argentine viticulture: less wine, but of better quality. According to a report prepared by the National Institute of Viticulture (INV), the participation of ACE varieties in the total of grapes suitable for processing in 2000 was 60.4%, while currently it is 74%. In other words, the area devoted to common grapes only represents a quarter of the total. Within this universe of quality grapes made up of 50 varieties, red varieties predominate, with 77.6% of the total (27); followed by whites, which represent 21.9% (20), and rosés with the remaining 0.5% (3). An interesting fact is ...
