Stop saying “lowlands” when talking about tequila! In this video, I explain why I’m changing how I describe tequila regions and the real difference between highlands, valleys, and “lowlands.”
Tequila regions matter, and using the right terms shows respect for the land and its people. We dive into the elevation differences between Los Altos (the highlands), the Tequila Valley, and why calling it “lowlands” doesn’t make sense—3,500 ft isn’t exactly low!
Plus, I answer a common question: Can tequila be made in the USA? (Spoiler: No.) I also explain which states outside Jalisco are legally allowed to produce tequila.
✅ Learn about:
• Tequila regions: Los Altos vs. Tequila Valley
• What “lowlands” really means (and why it’s misleading)
• Official tequila-producing states in Mexico
• Why respecting terminology matters
• A surprise agave spirit I’m sipping (from the valley!)
If you’re a tequila nerd like me or just trying to learn more, this is one you’ll enjoy.
