eau de vie; pl. eaux de vie [oh duh VEE] French for “water of life.” This term describes any colorless, potent BRANDY or other spirit distilled (see DISTILLATION) from fermented fruit juice. Among the grape-based eaux de vie are eau de vie de marc (from MARC), eau de vie de lie (from LEES), and eau de vie de vin (from wine). Probably the two most popular eaux de vie in the world are Kirsch (from cherries) and Framboise (from raspberries). Related Links: brandy, distillation v., lees, Catarratto
