Tequila can be from 38 to 40 proof degrees in strength.
Only five Mexican states produce tequila. Its production uses 51 percent blue agave juice and 49 percent alcohol made from sugar cane or corn. There is a special kind of tequila made with one hundred percent agave juice only. A bottle of such tequila usually bears the label — "100% agava."
By the way, Mexican tequila factories are listed in the UNESCO catalog and protected by this international organization as a World Heritage Site. In the homeland of tequila, in the Mexican town of the same name, there is a museum of national importance — the Tequila Museum.
In Mexico there is a special profession called "
tequilero
." A tequilero is a tequila specialist whose knowledge of this drink is not limited to the secrets of its production but extends far beyond them. A tequilero must know the history of how tequila came to be, and all the local folklore connected in one way or another to tequila. A tequila specialist, a tequilero, sits a certification exam and receives a certificate.
