Aguardiente ( Spanish : [ aɣwaɾˈðjente ] ( listen ) ; Basque : pattar [ pacar ] ; Catalan : aiguardent [ ˌajɣwəɾˈðen ] ; Galician : augardente [ awɣaɾˈðentɪ ] ; Portuguese : aguardente [ aɣwɐɾˈðẽt ( ɨ ) ] / [ agwɐʁˈdẽtʃi ] ) is a generic term for alcoholic beverages that contain between 29% and 60% alcohol by volume ( ABV ) . The word is a compound of the Romance languages ' words for water ( agua in Spanish ; aigua in Catalan ; água in Portuguese ; auga in Galician ) and burning/fiery ( ardiente in Spanish ; ardent in Catalan ; ardente in Portuguese and Galician ) , similarly to the English term firewater . Both aguardiente and brandy - from the Dutch expression brandewijn for burnt ( i.e. , distilled ) wine - originated as terms for distilled spirits using whatever ingredients were available locally .

Andalusia region ( UK : /ˌændəˈluːsiə , -ziə/ , US : /-ʒ ( i ) ə , -ʃ ( i ) ə/ ; Spanish : Andalucía [ andaluˈθi.a ] ) is the southern autonomous community in Peninsular Spain . It is the most populous , and the second largest autonomous community in the country . The Andalusian autonomous community is officially recognised as a historical nationality . The territory is divided into eight provinces : Almería , Cádiz , Córdoba , Granada , Huelva , Jaén , Málaga and Seville . Its capital is the city of Seville . Andalusia is located in the south of the Iberian peninsula , in southwestern Europe , immediately south of the autonomous communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha ; west of the autonomous community of Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea ; east of Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean ; and north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar . Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines . The small British overseas territory of Gibraltar shares a three-quarter-mile land border with the Andalusian province of Cádiz at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar . The main mountain ranges of Andalusia are the Sierra Morena and the Baetic System , consisting of the Subbaetic and Penibaetic Mountains , separated by the Intrabaetic Basin . In the north , the Sierra Morena separates Andalusia from the plains of Extremadura and Castile-La Mancha on Spain 's Meseta Central . To the south the geographic subregion of Upper Andalusia lies mostly within the Baetic System , while Lower Andalusia is in the Baetic Depression of the valley of the Guadalquivir . The name Andalusia is derived from the Arabic word Al-Andalus ( الأندلس ) .

Orujo is a pomace brandy ( a liquor obtained from the distillation of marc , the solid remains left after pressing of the grape ) from northern Spain . It is a transparent spirit with an alcohol content over 50% ( 100° proof ) . Its name comes from the expression aguardiente de orujo ( pomace spirit ) . It is popular in northern Spain , particularly in Galicia but also in Asturias , Castile and León and Cantabria ( principally in the valley of Liébana ) . It is also called augardente or aguardiente ( firewater ) , and caña . Orujo has become an artisanal craft for some families who after making wine for themselves distill the pomace in a little pot still . Many high-quality distilled spirits have appeared in the last twenty years , including some origin appellations ( in Spanish D.O. ) . These are obtained from quality grapes and produced according to the highest standards and are replacing the traditional homemade liquor , nowadays only available in small villages .
Pressing in winemaking is the process where the juice is extracted from the grapes with the aid of a wine press , by hand , or even by the weight of the grape berries and clusters . Historically , intact grape clusters were trodden by feet but in most wineries today the grapes are sent through a crusher/destemmer , which removes the individual grape berries from the stems and breaks the skins , releasing some juice , prior to being pressed . There are exceptions , such as the case of sparkling wine production in regions such as Champagne where grapes are traditionally whole-cluster pressed with stems included to produce a lighter must that is low in phenolics . In white wine production , pressing usually takes place immediately after crushing or/and before primary fermentation . In red wine production , the grapes are also crushed but pressing usually does n't take place till after or near the end of fermentation with the time of skin contact between the juice and grapes leaching color , tannins and other phenolics from the skin . Approximately 60-70% of the available juice within the grape berry , the free-run juice , can be released by the crushing process and does n't require the use of the press . The remaining 30-40% that comes from pressing can have higher pH levels , lower titratable acidity , potentially higher volatile acidity and higher phenolics than the free-run juice depending on the amount of pressure and tearing of the skins and will produce more astringent , bitter wine . Winemakers often keep their free-run juice and pressed wine separate ( and perhaps even further isolate the wine produced by different pressure levels/stages of pressing ) during much of the winemaking process to either bottle separately or later blend portions of each to make a more complete , balanced wine . In practice the volume of many wines are made from 85-90% of free-run juice and 10-15% pressed juice .
Patxaran ( Basque pronunciation : [ patʃaɾan ] ) ( Basque from paitar , pattar liquor and aran sloe ( in certain Basque dialects ) Spanish : Pacharán ) is a sloe-flavoured liqueur commonly drunk in Navarre , Basque Country , and other areas of Spain .

The capital city is Pamplona ( or Iruñea in Basque ) . Navarre is in the transition between Green Spain and semi-arid interior areas , causing a vast difference of landscapes between various parts of the region . The transition also renders a highly variable climate , with cooler spells and heat waves mixing in summer . Winters are mild for the latitude . Navarre is one of the historic Basque districts , with its Basque features conspicuous in the north , while virtually absent on the southern fringes .
Ratafia is a term used for two types of sweet alcoholic beverages and a flavouring essence whose taste resembles bitter almonds and later to a ratafia flavoured biscuit or a biscuit to be eaten along with ratafia , and later still to a cherry variety .

Txakoli ( pronounced [ tʃakoˈli ] ) or chacolí ( pronounced [ tʃakoˈli ] ) is a slightly sparkling , very dry white wine with high acidity and low alcohol content produced in the Spanish provinces of the Basque Country , Cantabria and northern Burgos . Further afield , Chile is also a minor producer . It is normally served as an aperitif and drunk within one year of bottling as it can not be stored for longer . The most common , white , variety has a pale green colour , but there are red and rosé varieties . When served , it is normally poured into tall glasses from a height , often as an accompaniment to pintxos . It typically has between 9.5-11.5 ABV .

Zurracapote ( sometimes abbreviated as zurra ) is a popular Spanish alcoholic mixed drink , similar to sangría . It consists of red wine mixed with fruit such as peaches and lemons , sugar , and cinnamon . The concoction is then traditionally left to steep for several days , though some recipes call for the addition of other alcoholic beverages , juices , and fruit extracts . The result is a mild-to-medium alcoholic drink , similar to sangría . The drink is normally prepared in large receptacles during local festivals with many local variations in recipe . It was first drunk in Calahorra , where Peña Phillips developed the recipe through several competitions . It is the typical drink of the La Rioja area and nearby areas such as northern Burgos , Soria , Ribera Navarra , and the Basque Country . It is also prepared in other Spanish provinces , such as Albacete , northern Granada , Ciudad Real , Cuenca , and Guadalajara .
Sangria ( English : /sæŋˈɡriːə/ , Portuguese pronunciation : [ sɐ̃ˈɡɾi.ɐ ] ; Spanish : sangría [ saŋˈɡɾi.a ] ) is an alcoholic beverage from Spain .

Cider ( /ˈsaɪdər/ SY-dər ) is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples . Cider is popular in the United Kingdom ( especially in the West Country ) and the Republic of Ireland and widely available . The UK has the world 's highest per capita consumption , as well as its largest cider-producing companies . Cider is also popular in many Commonwealth countries , such as India , Canada , Australia , and New Zealand . Aside from the UK and its former colonies , cider is popular in other European countries including Portugal ( mainly in Minho and Madeira ) , France ( particularly Brittany and Normandy ) , northern Italy ( Piedmont and Friuli ) , and northern Spain ( especially the Principality of Asturias and the Basque Country ) . Central Europe also has its own types of cider with Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse producing a particularly tart version known as Apfelwein . In the U.S. , varieties of fermented cider are often called hard cider to distinguish alcoholic cider from non-alcoholic apple cider or sweet cider , also made from apples . In Canada , cider can not be called cider if there are no apples . Furthermore , according to the Food and Drug Regulations in Canada , cider can not contain less than 2.5% or over 13% absolute alcohol by volume . The juice of most varieties of apple can be used to make cider , but cider apples are best . The addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the ethanol content of the resulting beverage . Cider alcohol content varies from 1.2% to 8.5% ABV or more in traditional English ciders , and 3.5% to 12% in continental ciders .
Asturias ( /æˈstʊəriəs , ə-/ , Spanish : [ asˈtuɾjas ] ; Asturian : Asturies [ asˈtuɾjes ; -ɾjɪs ] ; Eonaviego : Asturias ) , officially the Principality of Asturias ( Spanish : Principado de Asturias ; Asturian : Principáu d'Asturies ) , is an autonomous community in north-west Spain .

It receives plenty of annual rainfall and little sunshine by Spanish standards and has very moderated seasons , most often averaging in the lower 20 's celsius . Heat waves are rare due to mountains blocking southerly winds . Winters are very mild for the latitude , especially near sea level . The most important cities are the communal capital , Oviedo ( Uviéu ) , the seaport and largest city Gijón ( Xixón ) , and the industrial town of Avilés . Other municipalities in Asturias include Cangas de Onís ( Cangues d'Onís ) , Cangas del Narcea , Gozón , Grado ( Grau or Grao ) , Langreo ( Llangréu ) , Llanera , Laviana ( Llaviana ) , Lena ( Ḷḷena ) , Llanes , Mieres , Siero , Valdés , Vegadeo ( A Veiga ) , and Villaviciosa ( see also List of municipalities and comarcas in Asturias ) .
