How do I best research opportunities to purchase vineyards in Uruguay?

Ruth: My suggestion would be for you to contact Alan Smink who runs the Reynolds Proprietades office in Punta del Este. I bought a house from him in Punta del Este and recommend him very highly. He speaks fluent English, is trustworthy, and acts as a buyer's agent for locating what you are interested in. Don't contact him unless you are seriously interested. We have been very happy with our purchase, and real estate prices in Uruguay are very low by US standards. Closing costs for the buyer are higher as a percentage of the purchase price than the US. A basic understanding of Spanish helps, and you must make sure you are dealing with people who will not take advantage of you because you are a gringo. Don't assume anything (for example, if someone says they will do something, don't automatically assume it will be done, or done in the same manner that you would do it). Make sure there is comelete understanding as to what is to be done, and try to pay after the work is done to your standard. This is basic stuff for any one buying property overseas. Good luck. Hope you find a nice vinyard. It should be 25% of the cost of one in France.

That is great information to have, Gilman. I'm sure everyone who reads it really appreciates it.

The original poster asked about purchasing a vineyard. Are there a lot of vineyards in Uruguay?

Uruguay is known for its wine... at least in Uruguay. Not being a wine drinker I shouldn't say too much, but I understand that Uruguay produces exellent wine on par with Chile.

I love wine. Are there any that are sold here in the US? Can you name some brands? My husband and I like to stay away from the California wines, way too much sugar for our liking.
