Destination: Buenos Aires

Duty-Free
Because airport liquid laws are often sporadically enforced when it comes to bringing bottles of wine on planes (and it’s not the kind of product many people feel comfortable packing in suitcases or checking as baggage), don’t take a chance. Unless you do careful up-to-the-minute research on what’s allowed on board, plan to buy wine duty-free at the airport. You’ll save on taxes, and the store will wrap the bottles up for you and deliver them to you on board.
Havanna
After a day or two in BA, you’ll undoubtedly fall in love with Argentina’s second most popular food (after beef)— dulce de leche (“sweet milk”). Havanna sells some of the city’s best caramel-like spread by the jar as well as boxes of alfajores, small wafer sandwiches filled with dulce de leche and dipped in chocolate. Although the brand can be found in the U.S., boxes of Havanna’s famous alfajores and jars of dulce de leche are the perfect BA-themed gifts for family and friends back home.
Tonel Privado
This thirty-one-year-old wine store has a great selection of Argentine wines (including hard-to-find-in-America bottles from Mendoza wineries, such as Catena Zapata) and imports.
Winery
Part of a chain, the modern, service-oriented wine shop offers an excellent assortment of Argentine vintages.
