Optimass<br />
Application Note<br />
Tequila is the most popular drink in Mexico, and also a significant business for<br />
the producers, not only on the Mexican market but also internationally. The<br />
State of Jalisco is the only State in Mexico permitted to sow Agave and produce<br />
Tequila. Jalisco has many Tequila producers and one of the largest in sales is<br />
the Jose Cuervo brand. Jose Cuervo also exports Tequila by the 20-ton<br />
truckload. They have a filling station where they load the product into the trucks.<br />
