Sumario:There are many researches that deal with social unrest during the 1960s and 1970s in Argentina; however, most have focused the analysis on the large centers of industrial development, where the process of import substitution industrialization generated a factory proletariat which had a prominent role in the clashes between capital and labor. However, the economic and political processes experienced by "peripheral" regions - such as Mendoza - have received little attention. In this context, in this work we will deal with the organizational trajectory of vineyard contractors between 1969 and 1976. For this purpose, we will first address the emergence and development of the contractor figure in the province at the end of the XIXth century and during the XXth, and then analyzed the main clashes between the wine bourgeoisie and the contractors, taking into account the impact of the local wine crisis towards the end of the cycle and the implementation of a repressive strategy towards the sectors more mobilized of the working class.
