Tequila industry
Tequila, an agave-based distilled spirit from Mexico, is one of the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages in the U.S. The term tequila, which originated from the Nahuatl (Aztec) language, roughly translates to "the place where plants are harvested." In 1974, the government of Mexico declared the term as its intellectual property.
