Propuesta Agavaceas IMPI

January 19, 2012 · Filed Under Documentos · Comment 

Tal vez no será aceptada la MARCA AGAVE, aunque no es una respuesta definitiva. Por otra parte, ahora quieren proponer que todas las bebidas de agave se etiqueten como de agavaceas…

Mis comentarios:

• Si el punto central está basado en no engañar al CONSUMIDOR, entonces las bebidas con agave en 100% se llaman tradicionalmente mezcal y pueden llevar el nombre agave.
• Las bebidas que llevan otros azucares, sin especificación alguna de su calidad, materias primas, ni origen y son mezcladas con azucares de agaves, que se llamen “mixtos”. Claro hay tequilas, mezcales mixtos, pues que le pongan el nombre.
• La NOM que proponen deja preguntas:

¿Los mezcales tradicionales nunca serán reconocidos?  ¿Tendrán que llamarse de agavaceas?

PROPUESTAS:

1. Nos oponemos a esta estructura legal donde los mezcales tradicionales fuera de cualquier DO tengan que llamarse “aguardiente y/o destilado de agavaceas”. Indigno, denigrante, sin valor.

2. Exigimos que se involucren a las autoridades de la CONABIO, del INAH, SEP, y que se tengan en cuenta las medidas precautorias de perdida de patrimonio natural y cultura tangible e intangible que se han propuesto, además de que participen en la discusión de las NOM’s.

3. Exigimos dejar sentado oficialmente que AGAVE no puede ser marca y que los mezcales (100% agave) aun sin DO’s puedan usarla.

ACLARACION
Existen métodos para detectar otros azucares que no sean de agave, por lo tanto no hay barreras tecnológicas para la inspección de la calidad. Entonces asunto arreglado para la PROFECO, la bebida que ostente agave debe tener 100% de estos azucares.

New tequila era

December 28, 2011 · Filed Under Documentos · Comment 

After the myth of Denominación de Origen Tequila has been failed (look European Union rules about Tequila), what is new in tequila?

How to add value to tequila?

We are in the tequila brands explosion time, actually with 100% agave products.

Marketing think-tank are looking in different ways.

For example, Tequila by authors.  It means Gurus, people who is the owner or certifies his-her brand,. They have a reputation or an “official” (?) status (?).  There are brands by pop star system (like parfums strategies?) and by nice “persons” who have the best public relations in tequila networks and media mass system.

What about strategies remarking tequila regions?  Impossible to say terroir, because traceability and technology have been focused in volume growth not in quality.  They, simply took Scotch Whisky model and put in Tequila: low-lands and high-lands.  Not bad.

The most important thing consider by myself as a big opportunity is the “tequileros gringos boom” analysis.  I think anthropologist, sociologist and economist need to study this part of the industry, because, they are creating, adding and designing more and more strategies in tequila than mexican tequileros.  Do yoy wnat to know about tequila innovation?  Go to US and examine also the cultural identity and evolution (very important doctoral thesis Sarita Gaytan, 2009).

What is doing tequila industry in Mexico?  Foreign investment in all the most important brands is well known.  Then, where are the mexican tequileros?  What they are designing in  new markets and innovation for the new tequila era?  The worst thing happened to tequileros mexicanos is a lack of creativity.  Well designed bottles and exorbitant prices are not a consistent strategy…  What they are doing with the elixir?

Tequila UNESCO landscape is having problems in protection and sustainability, the Denominacion de Origen Tequila has not value in Europe… Then, what is the latest war of tequileros mexicanos? Be the owners of AGAVE or AGAVACEA trademark… They said “el estado mexicano is the owner”.   The goal is finishing with “Agave distillates” competition.

Tradition, authenticity, origin, fair trade, sustainable development?  Creativity in tequila industry must to be studied. In any case we can see a crazy world, a surrealistic case as Mexicans we are.

Key words: brands-author, ambassadors marketing; Tequilas by region (not terroir). lowlands-highlands,
