It was first produced in the 16th century near the location of the city Tequila. Aztecs previously made beverages from the agave plant long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. Around 1600, Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle began producing Tequila at a factory in modern-day Jalisco. By 1608, the colonial governor of Nuevo Galicia had begun to tax his products. Finally Spanish King Carlos IV granted the Cuervo family the first license to commercially make Tequila. The President of the village of Tequila from 1884-1885, Don Cenobio Sauza, was the first to export Tequila to the United States. It was his grandson …show more content…

    To quantify this shift, in 2000, Jalisco produced 97% of Mexican agave, but only 80% in 2006 (SAGARPA) 2006). The shortage in agave production is attributed to the cultivation time for agave (six to ten years), the myopic and unsustainable behavior of tequila companies, and the poor relationships between farmers and tequila companies who purchase the agave (Gonzalez 2002). In 1999, the blue agave industry was subject to a devastating shortage after the incredible surpluses of the mid-1990s. An early winter frost, fungal infection, and the cyclical nature of blue agave production caused Jalisco’s production to fall by 50.7% (Gonzalez 2002). This shortage resulted in a spike of agave, which was 2.19 pesos per kilogram in 1998 to 26.67 pesos per kilogram in 2002 (expressed in real 2015 terms, Macías and Valenzuela 2008). Due to this unexpected spike in prices, some farmers became fabulously wealthy and many tequila companies were forced to exit the market due to their inability to pay such prices (Bowen 2008). Furthermore, production did not recover until 2003 due to Scyphophorus acupunctatus, commonly referred to as the agave weevil (Figueroa-Castro and Solís-Aguilar 2013). Currently, the agave market is in a surplus, and in 2006, 769,000 tons of the 1.2 million tons of harvested agave were utilized in production, leaving some producers with rotting agave plants.…

    An explanation[citation needed] for the origin of the distinctive 'crown' logo from which Corona takes its name since 1925, says it was based on the crown that adorns the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the town of Puerto Vallarta. This cannot be, as the tower that supports the crown was only erected in 1952, the crown itself being installed at the top in 1963.[7] In Spain, the beer is branded as "Coronita" (literally, little crown), as renowned wine maker, Bodegas Torres owns the trademark for "Coronas" since 1907.[8] The packaging is otherwise unchanged.

New owners expanded the vineyard so that by 1994, 1,150 hectares1 were in production, making it the largest single-site vineyard in the country.
