Domestic wines that cost less than 300 pesos

Published July 27th, 2021

Coming from the terroirs of Baja California, Querétaro, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Puebla, Nuevo León, Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, Sonora, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Michoacán, Hidalgo and Chihuahua, the vine crops throughout Mexico are acquiring the relevance they deserve nationally and internationally.

To demystify and remove clichés about wine, we asked sommelier Ariel Morales, creator of Soy Vino Mexicano (SVM), to suggest low-cost bottles without sacrificing quality and tell us how we could drink this wine.
