You will probably be able to find some data for bedrock in these
areas, but areas with rocks of diverse age and Rb/Sr ratios will be
problematic.  If you can make measurements in the wine, why not the
soil from which it came?

I'm willing to bet the Chilean wines had the lowest 87Sr/86Sr
ratios...am I right?
