Where I grew up, a factory produced alcohol from wood and it was used to run cars. It is popular to have a small glass of calvados or Kirsch with a sugar lump.

My father was in France in early 1940, and he used to tell me that they ran their motor bikes on Calvados, as well as having to stop for a glass and a sugar lump with the locals having their breakfast. I never believed this story, I still don't, but I did just read at Wikipedia, what may be correct, and the root of my father's story..."During World War I cider brandy was requisitioned for use in armaments" due to its alcohol content" Nigel Aspdin (Derby, UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11287696605570389587noreply@blogger.com
