Question 1
A guest asks why some Chilean wines mention 'ungrafted old vines' on their label and what makes that special. Which answer best reflects what the lesson teaches?
A
Ungrafted vines produce smaller yields, and Chile's law requires wineries to label them separately for quality classification.
B
Chile escaped the phylloxera louse that wiped out most of Europe's old vines, so Chilean vineyards could remain on their original rootstocks.
C
Chilean winemakers prefer ungrafted vines because they age faster and produce more concentrated fruit in less time.
D
Ungrafted vines are standard worldwide, but Chile labels them to distinguish from newer, experimental plantings.
