The story of tsipouro and tsikoudia is a fairy tale that has it all: A kind-hearted mother who takes care of her children (the earth with the vineyards that produce the grapes), good fairies (fermentation) and evil wizards (souring) who fight to see who will dominate. Magic and elves (the transformation of must into wine), dragons that breathe fire and steam (distillation pot) and, in the end, redemption, the miracle, the tear of the Virgin Mary (the pure distillate that flows from the still).

And all this set in a smoky scene with low lighting, in a makeshift warehouse at the edge of the yard, on the cold nights at the beginning of winter, accompanied by laughter and songs...

Welcome to the world of Greek distillates!
