Tequila is a foreign spirit known for its refined and robust taste – made from the agave plant. The spirit is one of the world’s most popular spirits, with many Mexican-origin brands taking over global markets. Tequila cannot be named so if its made in any other part of the world than Mexico due to its unique Geographical Indication (GI) tag. And while we’ll talk about that later, we’re here to help you find the most affordable tequila you can get in Mumbai, the city that never sleeps and parties like there’s no tomorrow!
‘Tequila’ is a legally protected name, thanks to its GI Tag. This ‘tag’ allows certain products, ingredients, and art techniques to receive a unique identification tag stating that no other region can legally produce or sell the same product with the same name.
In the case of tequila, only the spirit made from blue agave in specific regions of Mexico, primarily Jalisco, can legally be called Tequila. India also does produce its own agave-based spirits, however, they cannot be legally named as ‘tequila’.
This legal ‘restriction’ of not allowing any other region to name and sell a product that has a GI tag acts as a legal protection. It legally protects the product from unauthorized use and counterfeiting and helps preserve the cultural heritage associated with that product.
Now, let’s take a look at a few affordable tequila in Mumbai 2025, including budget buys for tequila connoisseurs.
