Editor's note: To make a good bottle of wine requires several factors, namely, the climate, soil and human effort. To drink one also demands certain elements. You need food, music, good company and, perhaps most importantly, a breathtaking landscape. Argentina is endowed with all of those. Deeply imbued with a flourishing wine culture, people living in Argentina's winemaking region Mendoza embrace wine as part and parcel of their Argentine lifestyle. In this edition, China Daily presents a selection of pictures showing Mendoza's gorgeous wineries, vineyards and restaurants that will lift your spirits without you having to take a sip.
