U.S. distributors of tequila are upset over a proposed Mexican government regulation that would require all tequila sold in the United States to be bottled in Mexico. Sales of tequila, propelled by the popularity of magaritas and tequila shots chased with lime and salt, have almost doubled over the past decade, making tequila the fastest growing liquor in the country. Some 83% of the tequila consumed in this country is shipped in bulk from Mexico and then bottled in U.S. plants. But the Mexican government wants to change that, proposing a regulation that would ban bulk shipments and require all tequila to be bottled in Mexico... http://apnews1.iwon.com/article/200...

Whether they do or not has about zero bearing on my life.

It's probably not a bad idea if Mexican bottlers can keep up with demand.

But until the U.S. does try to compete, it seems most logical that Mexico try and keep the jobs at home.
