Legal basis

Mexico has no legally delimited wine denomination of origin. The outlines are the municipalities of the main wine valleys.

Outline: Built from the administrative units that contain the area. The legal boundary follows other lines (roads, rivers, farms or altitude), so the real area is smaller.
