French term for the alcohol-free substance that remains after distillation in the production of Armagnac in the continuous process. However, vinasse is also used as a general term for a cheap wine. In German, it is the name for the residue left over from a distillation of molasses (residue from the extraction of sugar from beets) into industrial alcohol, which is then used as animal feed.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
