The key celebrations took place in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Seattle in the USA; Ottawa, Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver in Canada; in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and Costa Rica; and in the city of Buenos Aires, in Argentina.
Regarding the 2012 edition of Malbec World Day, Alberto Arizu, president of Wines of Argentina, said: “All the events we organized had excellent results. On April 17 we became a trending topic on Twitter in Argentina. More than 1000 reports were published by the main international media outlets, thus doubling our media impact last year. A hundred stores in Europe (in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands), and in Peru and Colombia also joined the celebrations by offering in-store promotions. The whole world talked about our wines, and that fills us with pride.”
