#1 A note to those who enjoy fine tequila. Because of the ethanol rush, huge amounts of blue agave were torn up and replanted with other crops. Add to that the Mexican government cracking down on the multinational tequila industry, because it pollutes enormous amounts of water, and soon there is going to be a severe tequila shortage.

First to suffer will be the junk brands, which can have as little as 51% agave and still be called tequila. But when they have dried up, the prices of high quality tequila, just a fraction of their production volume, will go through the roof.

So get your 100% agave blanco, anejo, and reposado while you can. Blue agave takes at least five years to grow, so it is going to be a long time before the prices drop.
