Did you know that Mexican wine is rated just as high as some French and Spanish wines?
Most people don’t. Including myself until recently.
Not only does Mexico produce some of the world’s most famous spirits like Tequila and Mezcal, but this magical land is also a producer of some seriously good vino. In fact, most of Mexico produces wine to some extent.
Notable Wine Grapes In Mexico
Reds tend to be more popular, and some of the wine grapes include:
