Agave wine
Agave Wine like tequila comes form the webber blue agave. These plants take up to 10 years to mature before harvest. Also like tequila; agave wine comes in 100% de agave and mixto versions. The process of making 100% de agave wine starts the same way as making tequila. Mature agave is harvested and cooked in large ovens to release sugars within the plant. The aguimel or "honey water" is then extracted from the plant using crushing rollers called "molinas." The aguimel is then fermented to between 6-10% ABV. The next step is what differentiates agave wine from tequila; instead of taking and distilling the fermented aguimel to make tequila, agave wine is then filtered and 100% de agave blanco tequila at 55% ABV is added to "fortify" the wine to 24% ABV. Like tequila if the label does not say 100% de agave it is made with a neutral spirit other than tequila. In a "mixto" agave wine the fermented aguimel is fortified with in most cases a grain neutral spirit which is far less expensive.
100% de agave wine has long been used in traditional Mexican margaritas and is said to make margaritas that are as good if not better than traditional tequila based margaritas.
Agave wine is popular in Mexico, and is growing in popularity in the United States. It is made from the same plant as tequila, and therefore has a similar flavor. Agave wine is much lower in alcohol content, however. This is its main attraction in the U.S., where it can be sold by vendors that do not have a liquor license. Agave wine is fermented and filtered to retain the agave flavor. It can be drunk chilled, on the rocks, or with mixers.
