Mexico ships first load of premium tequila to China

“The shipment consisted of more than 70,000 bottles of the highest quality tequila, with a total value of more than $400,000, according to the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). ‘It’s the beginning of a great opportunity for the development, expansion and positioning of our national drink, tequila, to conquer this great market,’ CRT head Miguel Angel Dominguez said during a speech at the event in the western Jalisco state.  He added that the Chinese market ‘last year alone accounted for 38 percent of the consumption of alcoholic beverages worldwide.’  Only recently was a ban on 100 percent blue agave lifted, following a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping in June.”
