The Unfortunate Truth About Celebrity Tequilas...

Жыл бұрын

Today, It seems like every single celebrity owns a tequila brand. You cant go anywhere without seeing these celebrity tequilas. Clubs, bars, restaurants, Instagram, TikTok and KZfaq. Its everywhere. Celebrities like Lebron James, Kendall Jenner, Nick Jonas, Michael Jordan, and even Guy Fieri all have their own tequila brands now.
But why are all these Celebrities getting into the tequila game?
Could it be for their love of the heritage and craftsmanship of making tequila? Maybe its because tequila has always been their passion? Hell no! And that's only the beginning of the Problems with Celebrity Tequila.

@cherrypopscile3385 Жыл бұрын

I can attest that these Celebrity Tequilas are actually making getting into tequila really hard. I'm extremely new to tequila, and alcohol in general, and just finding a bottle at the liquor store is a nightmare. 75% of the stuff that isn't top shelf is either a gimmick bottle, a horrible brand, or a celebrity tequila. So I either have to spend my entire alcohol budget on a great bottle of tequila (something I want to do after I have more experience with the liquor) or I can spend 20-30 minutes reading through every lable in the store to find a decent $30 bottle that wasn't made by horrible people. I'm glad people are shedding light on these people's awful practices. Good work

Being of Mexican heritage, the message of truly supporting Mexican companies (and families) that take the time to produce the genuine product resonated with me. I currently have a couple bottles of Tres Agaves. Will definitely be looking for the brands you mentioned here and in other videos.

Hi Lui, great to see a rant from you longer than your beloathed Tik Tok shorts. The celeb promotion of their purchased barrels is a global problem across rums, whisky, whiskey, bourbon, cognac as well. But the pressure it is putting on the Mexico specific agave cultivation and cropping is having, as you have said, a devastating effect on the long term wellbeing of the agave plants and their Mexican farmers. It cannot be right! Nick from York

This is a really informative video filled with great knowlege-except, in the Los Altos region sur (Arandas, Atotonilco el Alto, Betania, San Jose de Gracia, San Franciso de Asis, pretty much anyplace you have red clay soil), your plants, if you give then lots of fertilizer will mature in year 5. Also, I recently learned a few months back that farmers are now installing irrigation systems to water their agave plants in the dry season (2nd week of October-1st week of June, "therein: to quote Bugs Bunny) and by doing this, the piñas are growing even bigger. With the plants having pesticides, mixed with the water, seeping into the soil and subsequently landing in basins that humans use, that could be a big problem down the line. too much corruption down yonder so a blind eye is turned. As long as la lana keeps landing.

Man, they came to our lands close to Jalisco wanting to buy them so they could plant Agave. The demand of more land for agave is leading to reduced production of our corn, wheat and other crops plus when you sell to big distiliries, they don't keep up with it, they leave that land for the 8 years it takes to the agave plant.

Honestly i disagree. Every bottle of tequila had a NOM number on them. You can look up this NOM on a site like Tequila Match Maker and find out all of the info you need. Teremana when you do that shows you A LOT of interesting information. They are not very transparent.

@@Lui_Fern Yes, but I don’t need to download an app to read the back of a label. I mean, what’s the Internet connectivity like at your local liquor store?

@@msrlapin99 it's 2022 I'd expect it to be pretty good. A label is just another marketing tool. Doesn't mean it's true what's in there

My problem with the it’s taking away from Mexico thing is everyone does this with every spirit… champagne is from France but people make champagne everywhere bourbon is from Kentucky but there are other places that make bourbon… I don’t think the celebrity tequila is gonna take away from the Mexican industry who would even want that over the real thing I go to Mexico once a year and man I’ve had tequila there that’s so much better than anything I’ve had in the states hands down

You actually can't legally call your product Champagne if it doesn't come from the champagne region of France. Bourbon is legally only made in the U.S not just Kentucky.

I love your video and your channel. However… it shouldn’t be considered appropriation if someone who isn’t Mexican wants to make tequila somewhere else as long as it’s made correctly and tastes amazing.

Yes but it should be when that same celebrity who is slapping their name on the bottle is wearing traditional Mexican clothes to show how "Mexican" they are.

Hold on, you lost me. I though all of the tequila producing distilleries ARE based in Mexico. So how does the money not get back to the Mexican economy?

Making tequila is cultural appropriation?? Where's the outrage over non-Italians making espresso, lasagna, pizza, pasta, or owning a vineyard in Chianti??
