Exhibit 99.1

“A HISTORIC LEAP FOR ARGENTINA’S ECONOMY”: GAUCHO GROUP HOLDINGS HAILS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AS CATALYST FOR UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH

Chairman Scott Mathis Shares Insight on Argentina’s Potentially Transformative Era for Argentine Real Estate and Economic Growth

MIAMI, FL / November 20, 2023 / Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (Gaucho Holdings) (Gauchoholdings.com) (NASDAQ: VINO), an organization with deep roots in Argentina’s luxury real estate, hospitality, and wine industries, today expressed its positive outlook on the recent election of President Javier Milei in Argentina. The company believes this political shift presents a significant opportunity for economic revitalization and investment growth, particularly in the real estate sector.

In an election that has marked a historic shift in Argentina’s political landscape, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. views the election of Javier Milei, known for his radical economic policies, as a promising development for the nation’s economy and international investments. Scott Mathis, Chairman and CEO of Gaucho Holdings, commented, “When a country like Argentina shifts from a position of no leverage to leverage, the implications are profound. This could very well be the greatest movement in asset valuation in real estate since the post-World War II era.”

With the election of President Milei, Argentina is poised for a substantial shift in its economic policies and global financial relationships. Gaucho Holdings sees this as an alignment with its vision for a more robust and competitive Argentina on the world stage. The potential economic benefits under Milei’s administration are already evident, with Argentine shares rising 28% on Wall Street and sovereign bonds climbing by 6 percent as of Monday, November 20th. This positive market reaction highlights the confidence of international investors in Argentina’s new economic direction.

The company supports the idea of Argentina’s dollarization, viewing the critics’ argument of needing $40 billion as overly simplistic. The dollarization process will likely be a gradual one that can stabilize the Argentine economy. Furthermore, with global trends moving away from dollar dependency, as seen in BRICS nations, Gaucho Holdings anticipates the U.S. will support Argentina’s economic shift, enhancing its global economic standing.

The company foresees substantial benefits for the banking and real estate sectors, expecting more accessible lending rates and a thriving property market in the wake of these changes. This outlook aligns with expert opinions, like those of Doug Casey, predicting an economic boom as Argentina possibly becomes one of the world’s wealthiest nations once again.

Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. remains committed to contributing to and benefiting from Argentina’s potential economic resurgence. The company is enthusiastic about the opportunities this new chapter presents for innovation, stability, and growth in Argentina’s economy.
