Please take a look at this world map (from England's Berry Bros. &
Rudd) of wine producing areas:
http://www.bbr.com/GB/wine-knowledge...WHNBQ7SNJ7001H

There is a spot south (below the 30th latitude) and east of California
that seems a bit puzzling. It looks to be in inland Mexico.

I know Mexico's Baja California produces wine, and is duly noted on
the map, however, I was not aware of there being a wine producing area
inland.

Wondering whether that spot is a cartographic error.

BBR include spirits in wine production. Note the inclusion of Scotland in
wine producing areas of Europe!!!!!

I'm wondering if they are confusing grape-growing areas with
wine-making areas.

As David says, this could be Jalisco (Tequila/Mezcal) or Oaxaca
(Pulque), neither of which is wine IMO.

Indeed, there is wine grown in inland Mexico, I believe around
Queretaro and some other areas NW of Mexico City. Of course, Baja
California is the more famous area.
