I hope you enjoy our stories.<br /><br />Thanks, Gemma. The restrictions on tequila reminded me of the ones on champagne too.<br /><br />Thanks, Jean. I'd like to try a few shots of tequila for old times' sake. My preferred drink back in the day was gin and tonic. Now, I stick mostly to wine. I'll bet you got some good tequila when you crossed the border. Don't think I'd want to cross now.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-82126967359721050032016-07-24T14:48:15.454-04:002016-07-24T14:48:15.454-04:00Love knowing more about tequila...It used to be my...Love knowing more about tequila...It used to be my favorite drink, but now seems too strong to me. I'm a vodka girl now that I'm getting older, but we used to cross the border to get the good tequila.

I've often wondered about tequila... although I live in Texas I've rarely had any. <br /><br />The exclusivity situation sounds similar to the rules attached to using the word "champagne" on sparkling wines from anywhere but the Champagne region of France (and using their methods)-- it is illegal. Apparently some alcohol producers in other places, including in the USA, are cracking down with exclusivity of name now, too.<br /><br />As for the worms... no thanks! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-35218974889766169762016-07-24T13:51:51.637-04:002016-07-24T13:51:51.637-04:00What a fun post.

Tequila was a favorite of mine during the seventies and we did the whole lemon, salt suck routine but I don't think I ever saw a worm in the bottle. If I had, I would have started drinking something else! The idea behind your letterbox love stories is fabulous and I can't wait to read them.

I found this on Wikipedia:Mexican laws state that tequila can only be produced in the state of Jalisco and limited municipalities in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas.[3] Tequila is recognized as a Mexican designation of origin product in more than 40 countries.[4] It is protected through NAFTA in Canada and the United States,[5] through bilateral agreements with individual countries such as Japan and Israel,[5] and has been a protected designation of origin product in the constituent countries of the European Union since 1997.[5]Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-88586766670501143062016-07-24T10:50:49.007-04:002016-07-24T10:50:49.007-04:00I've not been a "to-kill-ya" girl......I've not been a "to-kill-ya" girl...It has such a kick for me. What a fun history lesson though. I can't imagine some people are raising worms only to have them pickled in alcohol and put in tequila. What a fun job! <br /><br />Enjoy your box set!

Is there any international restriction on who can use the name "tequila"? Can we make tequila in the US (for example) and still call it tequila?R.
