The eau-de-vie are every drinks coming from the distillation of macerated fruit. Most of the best known spirits like whiskey or vodka are eau-de-vie, but because of their reputation they are generally classified separately.

Furthermore, as an exception, are also considered eau-de-vie any distillate from berries macerated in alcohol (not fermented), because getting the fermentation of red fruit is particularly difficult.

There are several types of eau-de-vie that are produced in very specific areas, the traditional way, and managed to make a name in the world: the Galician marc, Italian grappa or French marc de Champagne are some well-known examples.
