WHY WE DON'T REVIEW HIGH PRICED TEQUILAS
We choose not to rate ultra‑premium or high‑priced bottles for a few key reasons.
At Real Tequila, our mission is to help people discover authentic, additive‑free tequilas based on quality, transparency, and tradition—not on price tags.
Price Doesn’t Equal Quality
- A higher price often reflects packaging, marketing campaigns, or limited‑edition hype. Not necessarily better production methods or flavor.
- Some of the most honest, beautifully made tequilas come from modestly priced bottles crafted with care and heritage.
Staying Accessible
- Our goal is to recommend tequilas that most people can actually find and afford.
- By focusing on accessible price ranges, we keep our ratings relevant to everyday drinkers, not just collectors or investors.
Avoiding the “Luxury Bias”
- High prices can create an expectation that a tequila must be exceptional, which can skew perception.
- We want our ratings to be based solely on sensory experience, production integrity, and authenticity. Not influenced by prestige pricing.
Supporting the Broader Tequila Community
- Highlighting affordable, well‑made tequilas encourages sustainable growth for smaller producers who prioritize tradition over trend and profits.
- It also empowers consumers to explore and enjoy tequila without feeling pressured to spend hundreds of dollars.
Bottom line
At Real Tequila, we believe great tequila should be judged by what’s in the glass, not the number on the receipt. Our ratings focus on bottles that deliver exceptional quality, transparency, and cultural respect at a fair price.
