Grappa is the pomace-derived brandy of which country?

• A. France
• B. Italy
• C. Spain
• D. Greece

Answer: (D)

Grappa is an Italian pomace brandy. It’s distilled from the grape skins, seeds, and stems left after pressing grapes for wine. This tradition is distinctly Italian, especially strong in northern regions like Veneto and Piedmont, where winemakers turn the leftover pomace into a spirited, often clear or lightly aged, product. Other countries have their own grape-based spirits (France has marc, Greece has tsipouro, Spain has various distillates), but the term and tradition of grappa come from Italy.
