Eau de vie
An eau de vie (French for spirits,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Règlement (CE) n° 110/2008 du Parlement européen et du Conseil ) – French version of European Union spirits regulations〕 literally "water of life") is a clear, colorless fruit brandy that is produced by means of fermentation and double distillation. The fruit flavor is typically very light.
In English-speaking countries, ''eau de vie'' refers to a distilled beverage made from fruit other than grapes. Similar terms may be local translations or may specify the fruit used to produce it. Although ''eau de vie'' is a French term, similar beverages are produced in other countries (e.g., German'' Schnaps'', Balkan ''rakia'', Turkish ''rakı'', Romanian ''țuică'', Czech and Slovak ''pálenka'', Hungarian ''pálinka'', Sri Lankan coconut ''arrack'', and Georgian ''chacha''). In French, however, ''eau de vie'' is a generic term for distilled spirits. The proper French term for fruit brandy is ''eau-de-vie de fruit'', while ''eau-de-vie de vin'' means wine spirit (brandy), and several further categories of spirits (distilled from grape pomace, lees of wine, beer, cereals, etc.) are also legally defined as ''eau-de-vie'' in a similar fashion. Many ''eaux de vie'' made from fruits, wine, pomace or rye have a protected designation of origin within the European Union.〔
== Production ==
Ripe fruit is fermented, distilled, and quickly bottled to preserve the freshness and aroma of the parent fruit. ''Eaux de vie'' are typically not aged in wooden casks, hence they are clear. Although this is the usual practice, some distillers age their products before bottling.
