 Raki (alcoholic beverage) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raki (in its actual spelling: Rakı) is a Turkish anise-flavored liqueur that is similar to several kinds of alcoholic beverages available in the Mediterranean and parts of the Balkans, including pastis, sambuca, arak, ouzo, tsikoudia, tsipouro, and mastica.
In Greece, in particular on the island of Crete, raki is a grape-based spirit made from the distillation of pomace, i.e., the pieces of grapes (including the stems and seeds) that were pressed for the winemaking process.
Suma is generally produced from raisins but raki factories around established wine producing areas (Tekirdağ, Nevşehir, İzmir) may also prefer to use fresh grapes additionally, which help to obtain a better quality.

Raki, a form of aniseed liquor, is Turkey's favorite alcoholic beverage and someone has been counterfeiting it in very large quantities.
Unfortunately, the counterfeit liquor has so much alcohol in it that it is clearly fatal to drink.
The problem is all the worse because, in Turkey, raki is produced by a government monopoly under the Yeni Raki brand, sales of which have plummeted some 80 to 85 percent, according to informal polls by ATV.
