| Tequila is product of South America. | Tequila is best identified with Mexico, and more specifically it is identifid regionally with the Mexican state of Jalisco. In four other regions of Mexico (Guanajunto, Michocan, Nayarit and Tamaulipas), tequila is made out of a variety of magueyes (including agave, mezcal or maguey), but the truest definition of the product restricts it - in the same way the French define a bottle of Champagne as the product of the Champagne region of France - to the Jalisco region and to the agave plant. |
