(Wine Searcher) - Corralejo produce great value Tequila, but also encourages Mexicans to find their fortune in Mexico instead.

As at many California wineries, the barrel room at Corralejo's distillery is a showcase for tourists, with windows that appear to be stained glass but are actually made of empty bottles.

There's a large art display in the distillation room as well, but it's not usually shown to the public. Dozens of wooden birdcages hang from the walls and ceiling, and all of them are empty.

The empty birdcages are meant to represent the many workers who have left Mexico to seek their fortune in the US. In some small towns in the state of Guanajato, where Corralejo is located, and especially in nearby Michoacan, many houses sit empty like birdcages, waiting for owners who may never fly home.
