WHAT DOES SPIRITS OF WINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Aqua vitae

Aqua vitae /ˌeɪkwə ˈvaɪtiː/ or aqua vita is an archaic name for a concentrated aqueous solution of ethanol. The term was in wide use during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, although its origin is undoubtedly much earlier, having been used by Saint Patrick and his fellow monks to refer to both the alcohol and the waters of baptism. This Latin term appears in a wide array of dialectical forms throughout all lands and people conquered by ancient Rome. Generally, the term is a generic name for all types of distillates, and eventually came to refer specifically to distillates of alcoholic beverages and liquors. Aqua vitae was typically prepared by distilling wine; it was sometimes called "spirits of wine" in English texts, a name for brandy that had been repeatedly distilled. A local translation of aqua vitae was often applied to an important, locally produced distilled spirits. This gave rise to terms such as whisky, eau de vie in France, acquavite in Italy, and akvavit in Scandinavia, okowita in Poland, оковита in Ukraine, акавіта in Belarus, and яковита' in southern Russian dialects.
