But, what if we told you there’s another contender in town that’s even spicier (and friendlier to our dairy-free friends?) Its name is Coquito. Coquito is Puerto Rico’s symbol of holiday celebration.

They’re all names for the same grape, and you’re likely to see them all on Pinot Noir wine labels from Trentino-Alto Adige, the most northern wine region in Italy. The region — Alto Adige is in the north and Trentino is in the south — borders Austria and Switzerland, and German is often spoken in Alto Adige and used on wine labels.

With 2023 in the rearview, it’s time to look ahead and ponder what 2024 will have in store. Will wine proceed to erode as a restaurant mainstay? Will more breweries close their doors as the craft beer industry plateaus? We can’t make any guarantees, but we certainly think it’s in the cards. On the bright side, it’s likely that this year will be a banner year for Mexican spirits, even those outside of the agave realm.
