What does GRAPPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong Italian spirit distilled from the skins, pips and stems left over after grapes are pressed for wine.
Grappa began as a thrifty way for winemakers to use the pomace that remained in the press, and it is traditionally made in northern Italy. It is clear, high in alcohol and sharply flavoured, and is usually served in small glasses at the end of a meal, sometimes poured into coffee. Better bottles are made from a single grape variety and sipped slowly, much as a connoisseur would treat a good brandy.
