Faible

French term (German "Schwachmacher" - also petite eau) for the slightly alcoholic mixture of distilled and demineralised water and mostly older wine distillates. Mature distillates, already finished to the final recipe, are reduced to drinking strength by adding weakness at larger intervals. This process takes several weeks and is used for almost all good brandies such as Armagnac and Cognac. See also under distillation.

Voices of our members

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
