Greek term or phrase: κεφαλή
Η ασυνεχής διαδικασία και το συγκεκριμένο σχήμα της κεφαλής του χαλκού διατηρούν τις λεπτές γεύσεις του κρασιού στα αποστάγματα.
'The process of fractional distillation and the particular shape of the head [neck?] of the copper apparatus [onion-shaped] preserve the subtle flavours of the wine in the brandies.'
Have looked up about fractional distillation, including pictures of apparatus, and it seems to me that the bit they are talking about is in English called the 'neck', but I am not sure. Any chemistry and/or wine experts?
