  Tsipouro
Tsipouro is a variety of Greek clear grape brandy produced from the distillation of white grape pomace, which are the residual pressed grapes from wine making.
The remaining distillate, tsipouro, reaches 70-80 degrees alcoholic strength, its taste and strength regulated by the length of the distillation, and the temperature of the fire.
The fondness of the Greeks for tsipouro may have been stimulated by the very existence of the establishments known as ouzeri or tsipouradika; on the other hand it was perhaps the passion for good food and social interaction that gave birth to this special breed of café-taverna.
