time vs technology: tequila's past vs its future (are new technologies for the better or worse
DESCRIPTION
A true craft spirit is made with the blood, sweat and tears of those who craft it. Distillers pride themselves on using local ingredients, custom equipment and most importantly, creating things from the ground up. For over 250 years, this has been the way Tequila is born. But…with the growing popularity of Tequila, distillers are finding the need to produce more then ever before. This growth has lead to the need for new technology to keep up with demand. So the question remains, are these advancements for the better? Or is quality being sacrificed for quantity?TRANSCRIPT

The same applies to starting with raw material for Tequila
