"Tequila": Tequila is an alcoholic spirit that is created from the sap of the blue agave plant, through a process of distilling and fermenting. The drink originated around the town of Tequila, in Mexico where the blue agave plant grows plentiful due to the red volcanic soils found there.The blue agave plant is a relative of the lily, not a cactus as many people believe and has been cultivated for at least 9,000 years. By law, tequila is produced solely in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán,Nayarit, and Tamaulipas and cannot be produced in any other country.
"Humidity" Some degree of humidity is required in order to keep wines with cork enclosures from drying out. Even when wine bottles are stored on their sides, one side of the cork is still exposed to air. If the cork begins to dry out, it can allow oxygen to enter the bottle and possibly causing the wine to spoil or oxidize. "Temperature" Keep the temperature constant for extended aging of wine (over 1 year), refrigeration is a must in most parts of the world; even a below-ground cellar is not cool enough. Wine storage temperature should not go over 75ÚF (24°C), for longer than brief spans of time. At 75°F, wine begins to oxidize. An ideal temperature for storing a varied wine collection is 54°F (12.2°C).
