This started two years ago I believe.  Since the Aguave plant was basically 
killed off during the drought in the Tequila producing regions of Mexico in 
2000, they must regrow all of the crops and begin harvesting again.  Since 
there are aging requirements and they still have not recovered by a long shot, 
it could be a long time until tequila prices are reasonable and the supply is 
back to normal.
