Fruit brandy
Fruit brandy, Obstwasser or Obstler describes a spirit made from fruits such as pears, apples or plums. The fruits are mashed and subjected to alcoholic fermentation. A schnapps is obtained from this by distillation, one speaks of distillation. In the case of Obstwasser / Obstbrand, the fruits used must be listed on the label in descending order (according to the quantity used), e.g. B. "Obstwasser made from apples and pears". A fruit brandy like Mirabelle brandy / Mirabelle water, for example, is distilled from just one fruit, the eponymous fruit. No further fruits may be added. If the name contains a variety, as with Williams-Christ pear water, the fruit brandy must not contain any other varieties.
