Chacha is a grape brandy traditionally made in many regions of Georgia and is often referred to as grape vodka. In the countries of the former Soviet Union, after chacha wine, it is one of the most famous and popular Georgian alcoholic beverages. They started bottling chacha in glass bottles at the beginning of the last century, and Georgian chacha was quite popular. Although chacha has historically been a traditional part of Georgian gastronomic culture, bottled and labelled chacha only became widespread after the Declaration of Independence of Georgia two decades ago, and consumers in Western countries soon loved it.
A product made from other fruits is often called fruit chacha, which must be corrected. The main difference between vodka and fruit chacha is that vodka is obtained from wheat products and is distilled in a multi-plate distiller. In the case of chacha, the fruit is crushed like a grape, fermented into a henchman-chacha yan, and only after that the obtained "wine porridge" is poured. Although fruit vodka may be technologically close to the method of making chacha, chacha can only be called an alcoholic drink made from grapes, as the term "chacha" is associated with grape chacha, and no other fruit has chacha.
