SANTIAGO, Chile, October 17, 2010 - Among the highlights of this weekend's state visit to the United Kingdom
by Chilean President Sebastian Pinera was a meeting at London's Dorchester
Hotel with Sir Alex Ferguson, Manager of the Manchester United Football Club,
and Rafael Guilisasti, Vice Chairman of Vina Concha y Toro, Chile's premier
wine producer and a proud new sponsor of England's most celebrated soccer
team. President Pinera's visit comes just days after the successful rescue of
33 Chilean miners, following 69 days of captivity underground, a feat that
captured global headlines and was viewed by millions worldwide.

Following a formal presentation by Sir Alex of a signed team shirt, Mr.
Guilisasti congratulated the Chilean President on his unwavering commitment
to the rescue operation and paid tribute to the level of professionalism
demonstrated by the rescuers involved. Manchester United and Vina Concha y
Toro then went on to issue a joint invitation to the 33 Chilean miners to
travel to Manchester in 2011 to attend a Premier League game at the legendary
Old Trafford stadium.

"We are honored to recognize the people of Chile, in the person of our
president," stated Mr. Guilisasti "and wish to express the admiration of our
company for the remarkable work undertaken in this rescue operation. From the
heroism and fortitude demonstrated by the miners, to the management and
logistics employed by the top-level technicians who worked to secure this
happy ending, all are an example of the dedication, teamwork and leadership
values we also share at Vina Concha y Toro. Given that so many of the 33
miners are soccer fans, the invitation to enjoy an international-level game
at Old Trafford is one we believe they will particularly appreciate."

Sir Alex Ferguson added, "The miracle of San Jose is one of the most
remarkable stories I've ever heard. The courage, bravery and resilience of
the miners and the rescue teams was inspirational. It is a privilege to be
able to extend an invitation to Old Trafford."
