9.95% alc. vol. content on RTD Margaritas

[bulos]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why several of the major ready to drink Margarita brands (Cuervo's Golden & Authentic, 1800's Ultimate, Sauza's) have 9.95% alcohol volume content instead of 10% ?

My question would be "is the 9.95% "alcohol" in one of these RTD Margarita concoctions Tequila? My next biggest worry would be what is the other 90.05%? I'd steer clear of these drinks that certainly are not Margaritas anyway. It's easy to do much better.

I'm with you on that 1tequila2!!! Who knows what they actually put in that RTD stuff anyhow? Besides, I never could swallow any of those neon colored concoctions anyhow! And Bulos....if I may make a sugestion.....pick up a bottle of 100% agave tequila, some agave nectar, and squeeze a few fresh limes....and make your own natural premium margaritas!
