Learn about spirits

Three levels to learn what a museum of spirits is meant to pass on : where these drinks come from, how they are made, what appellations actually protect, and why so many commonly accepted dates are wrong. Every answer is explained — right or wrong : that is where the substance lies.

What these routes do not do

SpiLi is a cultural and educational project. It promotes no alcoholic beverage, and these routes are built accordingly :

  • No question is about a brand. History, geography, techniques, vocabulary and appellation law only.
  • No mechanic encourages drinking. No personality test, no tasting badge, no score that rewards consumption.
  • The Discovery level includes a strand on responsible drinking, because a museum that talks about alcohol must also pass on what allows people to talk about it honestly.
  • Nothing is recorded. Your score stays in your browser. No tracker, no cookie, no data sent.

A question set looking for its reviewers

These sixty questions are a seed. They have not yet been validated by a scholarly board, for the good reason that the board is still to be formed. We are looking for historians, distillers, appellation lawyers and prevention professionals to review, correct and enrich them — in their own field, and under their own name.
