PHOTOGRAPHERS’ LOCATION NOTES
Whilst on holiday with his wife’s family near Lyons in France in 1998, Sarge came across this derelict mobile Alembic still. (allambic in French) An Alembic still is a kind of pot still. Alembic distillation was refined by an Arabic alchemist in 800 A.D. to produce alcohol.
To this day in Europe, mobile Alembic Stills tour the countryside in winter, distilling the previous Summer’s crop of wine pressings to create “eau de vie”- (alcohol).
Typically French farmers have made a delightful cultural occasion of distilling the pressings.
Sarge was fortunate to take part in this process when his farmer brother in law, Christian, took his trailer load of grape pressings to the village, where in heavy snow amongst the aroma of alcohol & much merriment the mobile Alembic still was parked
and fired up & cooking the pressings .
With cooked alcohol flavoured meat in baguettes, bottles of local wine with occasional samplings of the eau de vie, finished off with chocolates, a good time was had by all and we staggered back to the farm house.
Even the government alcohol inspector couldn’t help but have a good time.
