| 70cl Alembic Bottle Support The alembic was developed circa 800 AD by the Persian alchemist Jabiribn Hayyan; its modern descendant (used to produce alcohol) is the pot still. The French spelling alambic is also commonly used, especially as the apparatus is often associated with Cognac where it is known as alambic charentaise. Charente is the area where the grapes must be grown and the brandy itself produced in order to be rightfully called Cognac. This Alembic bottle support has been beautifully planished and lacquered.
