Abstract

Mexico has a long history of wine production beginning with the Spanish nearly 500 years ago. The alcohol beverage industry in Mexico is still largely dominated by the production and consumption of brandy, rum and tequila. However, there has been some recent interest in wine production and several large wineries are now producing quality products. Consumer interest in purchasing wine is still relatively low however, although there is growing interest in table wine. Most of the imported wine is from Europe and South America and these producers dominate the market.
