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 can have an alcohol content ranging from 40% to 60%. Tsipouro is often enjoyed as an aperitif and is known for its strong flavor and aromatic qualities. In some regions of Greece, particularly in Thessaly and Epirus, tsipouro is flavored with anise, giving it a distinct taste similar to ouzo. It is commonly served in small glasses, accompanied by meze, which are small dishes of food that enhance the drinking experience.
