The Weber blue agave plants juices are fermented to create the Mexican distilled drink known as tequila. The second-fastest growing spirit in recent years, according to the International Wine and Spirit Research (IWSR), is a distilled beverage made from blue agave plants. Instead of being drunk in shot form with a wedge of lemon, it has evolved into a spirit to be sipped and enjoyed. One of the key factors boosting demand for distilled spirits made from blue agave plants is the increasing acclaim that various artisanal spirits are receiving from consumers all over the world. Tequila Market expansion is fueled by consumers' need for excellent exotic beverages with a fresh taste across the globe. Also, premiumization has become a trend in recent years as consumers are inclining toward quality over quantity.

Consumers' preference for sophisticated and high-end beverages consequently increases demand for these goods. The industrialized countries are anticipating a shift in consumer preference toward low- and non-alcoholic beverages as spirits use have increased recently, particularly in developing regions. Their growing awareness of the negative effects of alcohol consumption has caused people to resort to low- or no-alcohol drinks because they taste exactly like alcoholic beverages without the negative consequences.
