Thank you Science Channel for showing our distillery and how we make grappa! If you come to Italy, come visit us! Cheers and enjoy grappa responsibly!

A classic, after a big meal or during the worst of winter... a grappa warms your heart!

I remember as a child my father and his friends making their own grappa illegally with a lot of equipment I wondered what the hell was about. Now I am amazed they managed to do it with so little.

I didn't even know Grappa existed until I watched this video.

Italian after making wine: wait we still have the grapes tho what do we do with them Italian making grappa: *WINE 2*

"Traditionally an after dinner drink" Me, an intellectual, sitting down for breakfast "technically it's after dinner" or maybe I'm just an alcoholic.

Just fyi for anyone wanting to try grappa, it's a digestivo, meant to be drank after a big meal. Don't go burning a hole in your stomach!

"We made alcohol out of these grapes, now we've got a bunch of grape leftovers. Should we just use it as cattle feed?" "Nah, let's see if it can be used to make a different alcohol."

I really like it when all the parts of something are used, so the fact that not only does the grape juice get used, but the stems are used and the casings and seeds are also used is really nice!

This dude is like Pitt in Inglorious Bastards. "Bawnjerno, a river der chee"

Ooh, Nonino is the good stuff. Excellent choice!

Man, I love grappa. For anyone with stomach problems, I highly recommend it. The very best digestif available in my opinion. Absolutely sovereign for that heavy feeling in your stomach after a meal. Grappa is for a long conversation after a big meal while your sitting in front of a fireplace. Serve it in a snifter and let your hand warm it. Sip it slowly and savor the raisins, cherries, prunes, and apricots in the nose. Let it sit on your tongue for a while and inhale before you swallow. It’s an amazing drink meant to be enjoyed sparingly. For all the commenters going on about “bitter” “tastes like battery acid” or “gasoline”: this is not a tequila shot. This is not for your local frat party. It’s not for everyone, I’ve served it to many people and some like it and some hated it. It’s an acquired taste. I recommend not giving up on it after the first try. My wife shared your opinion and now she loves it, craves it even. It’s the second most popular drink in our cabinet after bourbon. But don’t try to shoot it or it’ll go down like everclear. This is for sitting, sipping and savoring, not dancing at the club.

I was a bartender for 10 + years and Grandppa is like gasoline. Super strong!

And what is left over after making Grappa becomes Mad Dog 20/20…

This is what you toast with when you've discovered the Fifth Element.

At first when he mentioned pumice, I thought he was referring to the rock that floats on water

I thought the title said "how its made, GRANDPA"

We want "How's it made: How's it made videos"

Barrel aged Grappa is the best after a big meal. Love that brand's name, "Grandpa's Chardonnay" 😃

My late father used to make his own but his favorite brew was distilled from Williams' bon chretien pears.

thank you for the video. i tried some grappa my friends father made, and i loved it. i would really like to make some

My roommate went to Croatia for study abroad and he said grappa is super popular there. They even use a really strong version as a sort of medicine.

This is a true sipping drink.

Added into my bucket list 💪😅

"You'll have to excuse us, we've been having grain with Grappa"

I tasted grappa for the first time on an aircraft from Italy back to South Africa in 1975. Whew, powerful stuff !

So grappa is the fancier Italian version of MadDog 2020

In Portugal we call it aguardente or bagaço. It's served as a digestive after a meal or after the coffee taken after a meal!

Quality grappa is amazing

Never knew this existed till now. I want find some and try it

In Portugal we call it, Agua Ardente. We have really good and strong Grappa in Portugal.

Grappa is a great!!! 💥😘💞

Beautiful

I'm hoping Grappa is the next thing. There are a lot these alcohols around the world that were just local unrefined stuff but once the producers know if you want the rest of the world to buy, you have to make it better. Mezcal and Tequila were like that. Now I like local Mezcal and Tequila but for most people it's too rough and tough so for those types, they need to distill it more. I love hot Grappa, not everybody does though.

After dinner drink, that I like. Thank you Italy.

I've never had a Grappa I liked. And I like lots of spirits!

I used to work in a restaurant owned by a Galician family, I can't stand Grappa just the smell of it makes me gag but I had to serve it constantly as it was the standard complimentary drink...

Grappa is good stuff

NONINO one of the BEST !

"As the Italians say.. salut." Said no Italian ever

What parts of Italy is Grappa made? And what a fascinating process, thank you for this post, Belismo... I've never tried this...? 👍👍👍🌵😎🇺🇸🇮🇹 👍👍👍Graci!!

I can assure you Italians don’t say Salute, they say sa-lù-te

I’d like to know where to buy it. None of my local stores sell it.

Now I want to try this grappa. Where's the best place to buy?

In Serbia, from grapes and juice we make rakija ( lozovaca ). From juice ( later wine ) we make vinjak. From grape residue ( like they make grappa ) we make komovica. Quality: 1. Vinjak 2. Lozovaca 3. Komovica

You can smell these distilleries 100 yards out

I spent the first half of this video trying to wrap my mind around the idea of making alcohol from hummus. 😂

Currently stationed here....... ...i Love my grappa

i had it once. its like fucking fire. bitter, astringent, spicy, smoky fire.

I like to ad grappa in my expresso coffee after dinner. I tried american grappa that was aged in left over bourban America barrels that was used to age bourban.

I won't forgive myself for spitting all those skins and seeds into the garbage after eating my grapes. Think of all the grappa I could have made !

Ahhhh Grappa😂🤣😂🤣 1989 Zurich (Christmas party) only time in my life where I alcohol poisoned 🤮 myself.

It used to be a poor man's drink now there are very nice aged variants. If you didn't like it, you likely drank a cheaper brand.

Please share with me your comparisons of grappa to brandy?

I first heard about Grappa while reading The Godfather novel..some 20 years back..!!

This music is excellently groovy

Not big on hair nets there in Italy are they?

👍👍good

So its waste being turn into gold....

Stopped drinking and smoking years ago but I keep watching these liquor documentaries 😅

Watching this two glasses of grappa in on a lonely monday night

Love Grappa but good lord it knocks your head off

This show still comes on?

Myślałem że to GRAPPA ICE

How It's Made: Grandpa Admit it. You thought it said that too.

Grappa? I hardly know ’er!

The bottles look like they could be filled a bit more... but a great video.

Fun fact: The german word for "fries" or in UK "chips" is "pommes" and is pronounced exactly as "pomace", the stuff grappa is made from. So in germany order "pommes" and you get potato fries. You're welcome. (The complete order should be: "Eine grosse pommes und eine currywurst rot-weiss, bitte" - practice that for the next lesson... )

Had some grappa in Italy after dinner once, ‘try some of this’ my Italian friend said, I thought the lining of my throat was stripped away….Never again!!! 😖😫

Lol, I first read it as “Grandpa”

In croatian region of Herzegovina we also make this.

Cheers

Cool

For nursery's?

I drink my grappa through a beer bong.

Grappa (Italiana or Greek) and Raki are really good warm with honey

Good job to that guy for getting first

Now I know how to make rotgut.

Ohhhhhhh...🤩

Seems like it's more of a steam extraction than a distillation.

I use cheap grappa to clean stuff , smells awesome 😜

I had Grappa once, at the Palm in D.C. It smelt of kerocene.

When I drink grappa....I don’t take no crappa;)

Got a bottle of this and had to Google it

Γκράπα for the win!

Lived in Italy for 4 years, the video does not do the effect of Grappa Justice

The old man has probably seen some things.

Grappa white lightning!!

Yes you can make Grappa - grape brandy from the whole grape, without previously extract the juice for wine. It is how we make it in Macedonia.

“As the Italians say, ‘SaLUtE.’”

Well, now i know what grappa is.

This is what we in Serbia call Vinjak.

Surprised to see so many people disliking grappa. Must be hard to get the good stuff huh

In Australia we pronounce its gruper . Diddnt know you could sell it isnt it like illegal ?

Can you make a "How they make babies?" for my son. Thanks

the old man looks like his aging period is about over

a form of recycling that is actually successful, profitable 👍👍

That's why Balkan Grappa is better, they use don't extract the sugar from the grape, and after pressed and fermented is distilled, which means no added sugar.

!'m an Italian and grappas kinda like bourbon for Americans in a way

Had one in Capo do ponte Italy with infused herbs! Literally felt fire 🔥 in throat! Just amazing Stuff!
