It’s a steamy afternoon in Jalisco’s Valle de Tequila when I pull up to Cantaritos El Güero in the village of Amatitlán. I had spent the morning in the agave fields of a local palenque , watching the jimadores at work. I even tried my hand at wielding a coa —a sharp, flat hoe used to cut the spines from agave plants. After such physically demanding, sweaty work, the time seemed right for liquid refreshment.

Sometimes a beverage becomes so synonymous with a place that it adopts the geographic moniker as a description of style. Such is the case in New Orleans, where the use of roasted chicory root helped to stretch the coffee supply during Civil War blockades. However, the rich, bold flavor proved popular. Today, a New Orleans–style coffee is essentially shorthand for coffee brewed with chicory, such as you would find at the historic Cafe de Monde , alongside a plate of beignets dusted in snow drifts

A red wine is the sum of several important factors. Terroir, grape varietal, weather, and the vintner’s skill conspire to create a sumptuous beverage that shares a color but varies wildly elsewhere. This diversity makes drinking red wine fun, and any pour of something new and unfamiliar can double as a mini-adventure filled with enticing flavor possibilities.

Ever come across a movie that has a 32 percent audience score but 90 percent critics score? That’s kind of like Riesling. Many wine drinkers avoid the grape due to its reputation as “sweet,” while sommeliers and wine professionals sing its praises as a complex, age-worthy, high-acid wine. In reality, Riesling takes on a wide range of expressions. Many examples are bone dry with laser-like acidity and a crisp mineral edge, while others offer ripe fruit flavors and, yes, a slight hint of sweetness

Alcohol is under scrutiny from regulators, public health experts, and the media. If a house divided against itself cannot stand, it behooves the industry to band together to fend off attacks. So, is the industry in fact united across tiers and categories? Or is it at war with itself? On the broad message — that alcohol has a place in society, and that it can be consumed at safe levels — the industry largely agrees.
