History of Wine in Peru
The first grapevines were brought to Peru by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. The grapes were planted in the coastal valleys of Lima and Ica, and the first wines were produced shortly thereafter. Wine production in Peru grew rapidly in the 17th and 18th centuries, and by the 19th century, Peru was one of the leading wine producers in South America.
The wine industry in Peru declined in the early 20th century, due to a combination of factors including the global economic crisis, the rise of other wine-producing countries, and the political instability in Peru. However, in recent years, the Peruvian wine industry has experienced a resurgence, and Peru is now once again one of the leading wine producers in South America.
