Unofficial translations of articles I find interesting, in either the Chilean
press or the related blogosphere.

If I do more translations in the future, I will update this page.  Most recent
entries come first.


More Emotion In Chilean Wines - http://acooke.org/cute/MoreEmotio0.html

  A fascinating piece from La Tercera.  I love Chilean wine discussions
  because they show so much of the internal machinery.  You only need to read
  a little between the lines to find interesting questions.  For example - why
  now?  When I arrived here 20 years ago, it was clear that there was little
  variety, and no fresh, light, red wines.  So how can people that worked on
  this for so long suddenly be so convinced they were completely wrong (one
  famous enologist claims he didn't like the wines he made - seriously)?


The Bolivian Case Against Chile At The Hague - http://acooke.org/cute/TheBolivia0.html

  An analysis of the dispute with a somewhat academic flavour.  Very good on
  the historical background.


Chilean Political Scandals

  The Blindness Of The Chilean Elite http://acooke.org/cute/TheBlindne0.html
  President Bachelet's Speech http://acooke.org/cute/PresidentB0.html
  The Davalos Affair For Idiots http://acooke.org/cute/TheDavalos0.html
  Another Tax Fraud http://acooke.org/cute/AnotherTax0.html
  The SQM Affair For Idiots http://www.acooke.org/cute/TheSQMAffa0.html
  The Penta Affair For Idiots http://acooke.org/cute/ThePentaAf0.html

  Not sure what I can add here.  Depressing, shameful reading.  You might want
  to read in chronological order (from bottom to top).  Little of what was
  presented in Bachelet's speech has become concrete, so far.
