: Hi, so this has been something I've been wondering about for a while - when Belloq and Marion are getting pissed in the tent, what are they drinking? Marion asks about it and Belloq says he ggrew up with it, it's his family label - but it's a clear liquid so I've ruled out wines and cognacs.

: I'm sure one of you forum-goers knows, what is it?

It's definitely a hard liquor, not white wine, since Belloq is surprised by how Marion gulps it down.

At a gut level I don't think it would be Vodka because Belloq is French. I have never heard of French Vodka although then again I suppose anything is possible. Vodka is made from grain, and there is plenty of that in France. Perhaps there is a French name for a vodka-type liquor?

The French are known for their cognacs and brandies, but again, these are not clear.

I suppose it could also be an alcohol made from leftover grapes, like the Italian "Grappa" which is clear also.
