Great topic. Please excuse me if my reply sounds curt; I am on the road and writing on my phone.

No offense, but some of these are just plain wrong, and others could benefit from a bit of context. *

A "corrido" is a Mexican song form, similar to a ballad.*

"Asomobroso" might be better translated as "shocking," which makes sense in the context of their bottle shape.*

"Mejor" might be better translated as "best."

"Penca" in this context refers to the spines of the agave.*

"Patrón" is not "boss" in the moderm sense; *it is more of a medieval word. Think landowner, patron, etc. Somehow on whom you depend to earn your living. "Gran" makes it a great one.

"Partida" is the surname of an agave-growing/tequila-making family in Amatitán.*

7 Leguas, PVO and Maestro Dobel could use some contextualization as well, but it's too much for phone typing.

Translation is an art, and words almost never have a simple "x=y" relationship across languages.*

Salud, and Feliz Navidad.*

Thanks for the clarifications. Those were based on Google translator, so I guess you get what you pay for Still an interesting topic, I thought.

I think the actual translation for Patron is "highly marketed and overrated tequila."
