One of best thing about travelling to Central Europe is the amount of (good quality) alcohol that gets consumed. It’s the opposite of binge drinking, a steady raising of glasses of various shapes – from shot glasses to wine glasses, with occassional beer thrown in for a good measure. It comes with conversations, cakes, reminescing and arguing – the usual family fare.
This trip is special as I got the chance to visit underground cellar where the best calvados known to man (and to this woman) is produced.
Let’s see some potent potion made of apples. Well, mostly apples…
Behold the second distillation…
It bubbles happily. 70% alcohol you say? Now we are talking…

And might the tempting woman among the inebriated apples be Eve?
