Moonshine distillery, Etseri, December 2000

This photograph dates from before my "hate affair" with araqi, the favoured drink of Svaneti. At the time I despised only its taste (though I've never been drunk). Later I realised how many lives - including those of people I knew - have been cut short through this poison.
