What it is
The grape fire: chacha — Georgia's pomace brandy (the 'vine vodka'), distilled from qvevri leftovers, fiercest from Kakheti, once pure village moonshine and now a craft category with oak-aged versions. Origins: pomace distilling in Georgia is centuries old; chacha was the peasant's spirit beside the lord's wine. Made from: grape pomace (skins, stems, pips) after winemaking, pot-distilled. How it's made: 1) Ferment the pomace. 2) Distil (twice for the fine versions). 3) Drink young and white, or age in oak. Served: in small glasses at supras (between toasts), with mtis pickles and khachapuri nearby. Flavor: grape fire, sometimes beautifully aromatic. Strength: 40-65% (village versions run hottest). Culture: offering chacha is offering trust — the homemade bottle is a Georgian handshake. See also: Georgian Wine (Qvevri).
