The Allegations
A class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York accuses Diageo, the parent company of Don Julio and Casamigos, of falsely marketing these tequilas as "100% Blue Weber Agave." Plaintiffs allege that laboratory tests revealed significant amounts of alcohol derived from cane sugar in these products, suggesting they may not meet the standards for pure agave tequila.
