As can be seen from the picture, this was something I spotted in the supermarkets whilst scouting for some Chilean wines for a South America themed gathering for the doctors of my hospital, but as I had rearranged the bottles for this juxtaposition, please ignore the prices because the positions are wrong. Both the Rothschild families have extensive overseas holdings and Chile is one country in which they are both present. Apart from these premium level offerings, both also do more affordable entry level wines
As I was trying to highlight the particularities of the different South American countries, I was more interested in their Carmenere then their Bordeaux lookalike blends, which do include very un-Bordeaux grapes such as Syrah in their blends. You may well ask - why not Mouton vs Lafite for the title? Showing my age, I refer to an Award Winning film (Kremer vs Kremer) which I saw whilst at university.
