Mexican wine

Mexican wine refers to the wine produced in the Mexican region. The history of Mexican wine dates back to the Spanish colonization of the region in the 16th century, making it one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the Americas.

History[edit | edit source]

The history of Mexican wine production began with the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. The Spanish brought vines from Europe to modern day Mexico, making it the oldest wine-growing region in the Americas. However, wine production in Mexico has been influenced by various factors, including the Spanish crown's attempts to protect Spanish wine from New World competition, and the phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century.

Regions[edit | edit source]

Mexico has several wine-producing regions, the most notable of which are located in the states of Baja California, Coahuila, and Querétaro. The Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California is often considered the premier wine region in Mexico, with a climate and geography that is conducive to high-quality wine production.

Grapes and Wines[edit | edit source]

Mexican wines are produced from a wide variety of grapes, including both international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, as well as native Mexican grape varieties. The wines produced in Mexico range from robust, full-bodied reds to crisp, refreshing whites, and everything in between.

Modern Mexican Wine Industry[edit | edit source]

The modern Mexican wine industry has seen significant growth and development in recent years. This has been driven by a combination of factors, including improvements in winemaking techniques, increased investment in vineyards and wineries, and a growing domestic and international market for Mexican wines.
