Pisco Wineries
Ica is a desert, but amazingly it is also the main location in Peru for the production of red wine and a Peruvian brandy known as "pisco." Pisco is a very strong drink, and it is the national drink of Peru. When mixed with certain other ingredients, it plays the leading role in the "Pisco Sour" a popular cocktail. In ancient days, slaves would be forced to stomp the grapes with their bare feet all night long, and then the wine was fermented. Later, a method of distilling the wine in copper tubes was created and the distilled liquid became a very potent liquor known as Pisco. source: www.huacachina.com
