David becomes so depressed that he neglects his children, Fernanda and Bobby, and the vineyard he loves so much. His sinister mother-in-law Lilian and supposed best friend Juan try to take advantage of the situation to steal David's fortune, but an unexpected arrival to the vineyard alters their plans.
Luciana is a cheerful and impetuous youngster who lived in the vineyard with her family several years ago. She and her father Marcos were deported to Mexico by the orders of Lilian, whose goal is to get rid of the entire family as she sent officials to arrest them despite having their documents in order and were in progress of becoming U.S. citizens. Lilian always wanted revenge against Luciana's mother Marta due to the fact that her husband had cheated on her. After her father died, Luciana returns as a beautiful young woman and disrupts David's life.
Despite their love-hate relationship, Luciana changes everything for the better and David learns to appreciate life and starts to love again by gaining Luciana's affection.

Production
Vino el amor is based on the 2014 Chilean telenovela La chúcara, created by Julio Rojas Gutiérrez. This adaptation is written by Janely Esther Lee Torres and Vanesa Varela Magallón.[6] Salvador Sánchez and Santiago Barbosa served as scene directors, with Jorge Amaya and Bernardo Nájera as camera directors.[9]
Development
The development of Vino el amor focuses on the issues of Mexican emigration to the United States in search of "the American dream" and how these Latinos are being humiliated and offended by police officers and ruthless people.[10] It also tackled other topics such as bipolarity.[11] Majority of the filming occurred in the vineyards of Napa, Sonoma and San Francisco, California at the United States.[9][12] The telenovela was also filmed in Mexico City and Tijuana, with part of the cast filmed scenes in Foro 14 of Televisa San Ángel.[13]
Casting
On May 25, 2016, TVyNovelas Magazine confirmed that Gabriel Soto and Irina Baeva were cast in the lead roles.[14] On June 8, 2016, José Alberto Castro confirmed that Kimberly Dos Ramos and Christian de la Campa were cast as the antagonists of the telenovela; both actors had an exclusive contract with Telemundo and therefore they decided to accept Televisa's job offer.[15][16] Luciano Zacharski, who previously worked for TV Azteca for years, and Juan Vidal were also confirmed as part of the cast.[17][18] On June 30, 2016, Laura Carmine was confirmed to guest star in the first few episodes where she played as the wife of Gabriel Soto's character.[19]
For Kimberly Dos Ramos, Vino el amor has made her character to be hated just like Marjorie de Sousa's antagonist role in the telenovela Amores verdaderos (2012).[20] The character of Graciela contributed a lot to the telenovela to help people who suffer from bipolarity to confront their situation.[20] Dos Ramos stated: "It is gratifying to know that in some way my character can help the relatives of those who suffer from bipolarity seek solutions."[20] In late September 2016, Dos Ramos caused controversy in an episode where she was topless, this being an idea of Televisa to be able to increase its ratings in its productions.[21][22]
Reception
In the United States, Vino el amor was very well received by the American public only in its premiere that measured 2,143,000 total viewers.[23][24] It was one of the most viewed productions of Univision.[24][25]
