Forgive me for interrupting with a macabre thought, but what’s your plan in case World War III breaks out?

This question is less and less theoretical: The world seems to be living on the edge, with growing tensions between great powers. In fact, 2023 recorded the highest number of state-based conflicts since 1946. Ukraine. Gaza. Syria. Not only are clashes on the upswing, but so are their political complexity and technological implications.

I was mulling this during a recent trip to Mendoza, Argentina’s Western province famous for its fine wines and astonishing beauty. Three days of vino indulgence clarified one thing: If geopolitics take a turn for the worse, this would be my perfect hideaway.
