Tsipouro is a traditional Greek spirit made from the pomace of grapes, which is the leftover material after winemaking. It is typically distilled in small batches and has a strong, aromatic flavor. Tsipouro can be enjoyed neat or with a variety of meze, which are small dishes served alongside drinks. The drink is especially popular in regions like Thessaly and Epirus, where it is often produced by local distilleries. Tsipouro can be flavored with spices or herbs, such as anise, giving it a unique taste. It is an important part of Greek culture and social gatherings, symbolizing hospitality and friendship.
