Honest answers about Arcinas, grounded in the guide.

— WNDR take

Arcinas at a glance

Mexican wine and wine making began with the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, when they brought vines from Europe to modern day Mexico, the oldest wine-growing region in the Americas. Although there were indigenous grapes before the Spanish conquest, the Spaniards found that Spanish grapevines also did very well in the colony of New Spain (Mexico) and by the 17th century wine exports from Spain to the New World fell. On WNDER, Arcinas reads as cinematic mountain solitude — strongest in year-round.
