Not exactly a study that merits any decision making. If article below
is correct, they studied 16 wines- one from each country, with no clue
how wine was chosen.
As noted, they used a standard developed for seafood, which may or may
not be applicable to wine. As since they didn't test US, Chilean, NZ,
or Australia, using this study to determine where to drink from is a
bit ....um....speculative,.
