Agave Wine (pasted article to be updated)
Original:Agave Wine originates from Mexico. It is similar to tequila, in that it is harvested from the same plant. Although the two alcoholic beverages come from the weber blue agave plant, the drinks have similar, but different flavors. Agave wine has a much lower alcohol content and can be sold by vendors in the United States without an official liquor license. Also like tequila; agave wine comes in 100% de agave and mixto versions. 100% de agave wine has long been used in traditional Mexican margaritas and is said[by whom?] to make margaritas that are as good if not better than traditional tequila based margaritas.

Updated:

Agave Wine originates from Mexico. Agave is a plant that originates in Mexico, and even though this plant is used to surviving the desert temperatures, it's a product of the asparagas family and not the cactus family. There are a couple hundred types of agave but, by law, only Tequila Weber or Blue Weber agave that is found in Jalisco, Nayarit, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, and Guanajuato. Agave wine has low alcohol content so vendors don't need a liquor license to sell it. The alcohol content for agave wine is 20-24% but it does start out at 7.5% before fermentation. For the establishments who do not have their liquor licenses, they have an option to sell a faux margarita and it's also mixed in other flavored margaritas as well.
