| A
selection of fruit liqueurs:
cassis, griotte, murs, peche,... |
|
Combier also makes a type of "marc"
or eaux de vie for a well known wine producer: Langlois Chateau |
And a rather peculiar drink called
Metzendorff "Kummel". It is actually very similar to some Scandinavian
aquavits, spiced with caraway (cumin), but sweet. Apparently popular in
England |

Outside the wine making facility: warning for sleeping workers. Well,
actually, it warns that when the wine is fermenting it releases
carbon-dioxide that can make you loose consciousness, and worse. "At least the regulators are happy with the
warning signs"... |

fermentation or ageing |
