I tried Grappa in Italy and really liked it, but I'm clueless on what is good and bad. Anyone else have any experience with it?

It tasted like a wine whisky to me.

Try cognac

Italians are so funny
>Thing made from grapes
>Call it grappa

At least it's accurate

But we call it uva not grapes

It's not even made from grapes, it's made from sticks.

ur made from stick cause ur a faget

It's not made from grapes, it's made from grape pomace you clueless fucks. OP, just buy and grappa that also names the wine, ie "chardonnay grappa"

What about "chianti grappa"?

Sure.

Also, look for grappa from northern italy, that's where it is originally from.

When I was in Italy I just went into a wine shop and asked for advice on it. I said I wanted one that's local and I like a whisky flavour. He offered me a few and I picked one.

Its grape whiskey.

It's actually twig whisky

what is the difference between grappa, singali and pisco?

No, its actually grapes fermented to a standard liquor abv.

No, that's brandy. Grappa uses the leftovers from the wine making process.

Well, what a piece of shit then

Tastes good though

Its tasty as fuck though. It uses the pomace which is the skin, pulp and seeds so its no different then making a spirit from dried out barely or corn

Ill be damned. Learn something every day, no?

>harvest grapes
>press all the liquid out that you can to use for wine
>take remaining skins, seeds, pulp and toss them in a pot
>fill with water and heat to extract any remaining sugars
>cool and add yeast to ferment extracted sugars
>distill fermented liquid to extract the alcohol
>drink it and sell it as grappa

Grappa can be alright, but it can also taste like complete garbage. I bought a cheap bottle at the local supermarket to try out and it smelled and tasted like burnt rubber. The better kinds are alright, though, and the flavored kinds can be really good.

Anglos are so funny
>what do we call what grappa's made from, uva sounds too much like what we fuck on lonely pasture nights
>call them grapes, thinking about ewes has me thinking about rape anyway

fucking ROASTEEEEED

I don't understand, don't Europeans also think about rape on a near constant basis?
Is Grappa available in most American liquor stores?

yes, but we rape white virgins rather than white-wooled non-virgins

>on't Europeans also think about rape on a near constant basis
The new Europeans do

Is it like vodka in flavour?

I had grappa at the liver pool house in montreal, it was great.
Can't find it locally in merica

No.

It has its own unique flavor, and really is an acquired taste. Some of the cheaper shit can smell and taste like burnt rubber, while some of the better stuff is actually kind of smooth.

Interesting. So it tastes like brandy and cognac?
