A Special Collection of Anise Spirits – Mediterranean Spirit and Freshness

Welcome to the Anise Spirits selection at Champagne Wine Shop & Bar! Carrying the spirit of the Mediterranean, these classic drinks are a symbol of long, leisurely afternoons shared with friends around a generous table. Their distinctive, crystal-clear aroma of anise and herbs is wonderfully refreshing, and adding water or ice creates the iconic “cloudy” effect we all know and love.

What will you find in our collection of anise spirits?

The world of anise spirits is colourful and deeply connected to the local traditions of different countries. Our catalogue brings together the finest examples of the style:

• Greek Ouzo: The absolute classic from our neighbour. Skilfully distilled, it combines anise with secret blends of herbs and spices such as mastic, clove and coriander.
• French Pastis: The spirit of the French Riviera in a glass. Created in the south of France as a successor to absinthe, pastis charms with a complex profile of star anise, liquorice root and Provençal herbs.
• Italian Sambuca: Sweeter and fuller, often served after a meal, traditionally with three coffee beans (symbolising health, happiness and prosperity).
• Traditional Mastika and Arak: Beloved Balkan and Middle Eastern classics, distinguished by uncompromising freshness and a strong character.
