And it must be produced in certain areas of only five authorized states in Mexico to even be called "tequila." However, aside from those rules, how tequila is made is up to the brand producing it. For example, it can contain additives, such as sweeteners, which don't have to be disclosed if they make up less than 1% of the weight in a bottle. And while not all tequilas with additives are necessarily bad, they can have a huge impact on the liquor's flavor profile.

Most non-Italians meet grappa—the pomace brandy distilled from the remains of grape winemaking in Italy—at the end of a meal at an Italian-ish restaurant, when the old owner wanders out to say thanks for spending too much money on bad food with a gratis sip of clear liquid that smells like kerosene and tastes worse. But as we all eventually learn, the best things in life actually aren’t free, and the glass that comes at no expense isn’t where you’ll find the best of anything. That said, quality grappa remains one of the best values you can find in the spirits market, considering the time and attention that goes into each bottle, in particular when it comes to single-varietal, aged and cru grappas.
