What is refuse from wine making called used to make brandy?

The refuse from winemaking used to make brandy is called pomace.

Pomace is the solid residue left after pressing the grapes for wine. It consists of:

* Skins: The outer layer of the grape.

* Seeds: The hard, inner part of the grape.

* Stems: The stalks that hold the grapes.

Pomace is fermented to produce brandy. The alcohol in the brandy comes from the sugars in the grapes, which are fermented by yeast. The pomace also contributes flavor and aroma to the brandy.
