Graaff-Reinet grapes are well known. During the great depression, erfholders found that it was not profitable to pack, crate and send grapes by rail to Port Elizabeth.
Liquor distillation had always been a traditional activity in Graaff-Reinet and as the Depression continued, many found that illegal distilling was their most profitable source of income.
The Graaff-Reinet grape, because of its high sugar content, was ideally suited to the distillation of brandy. The most lucrative part of the distillation process, and one that was not illegal, was the selling of the "mos", which was the left-over after the grapes had been crushed. This had a slight alcohol content and was sold for a "tickey a tot", a tot being a full tin cup, to the workers.
