Huh? Wine of the barren Sonora Desert of Baja? That makes no sense at all.
Except, being a student of Mexican history, I know the Jesuits and other Catholic missionaries brought grapes from Europe to use in their religious rites. It appears their small mission vineyards have grown somewhat.

But, back to the story.
Winemakers in the Valle de Guadalupe region of Baja California are betting on an innovative solution to their water shortage problem.
An Israeli company, Odis Asversa, will build an aqueduct between Tijuana and the well-known wine region to carry recycled wastewater to the area’s vineyards.
Although the company won a state government tendering process to complete the project — the first of its kind in Mexico — the winemakers will foot the US $1.5-billion bill.
An Israeli company? In Mexico?
Why not? They practically survive on such stuff in Israel. They’re also leaders in turning sea water to fresh.
Anyhow, more of this story @ Aqueduct will carry recycled water from Tijuana to Baja's winemakers
