The countries on the south of the continent.

Feijoada

A hearty bean dish in the best Brazilian and Portuguese traditions. Not only beans, count on finding almost every part of the pork, including sausages, and some beef.

That puts their summers from November to March, allowing them to harvest wine during the off-season of many other countries. Time shifting allows them to satisfy the market when others can't.
