History

In the third century A.D., the Indian civilizations that inhabited Mesoamerica had long since discovered the technology of fermentation and brewing, and they used any available source of sugar in their daily lives to make alcohol, and agave, which is a not-so-low-sugar, succulent beverage, was a natural raw material for the production of alcohol. Pulque is made from fermented agave juice.

Tequila remained a purely fermented spirit until the Spanish conquistadors across the Atlantic brought distillation to the New World. Then they tried to increase the alcohol content of pulque by distillation, and distilled spirits made from agave were created. As this new product succeeded in replacing wine, it became heavily consumed by these colonizers and earned the name Mezcal wine.
