Cooking with Greek Spirits

[auroracoor1]

When I cook outside of Greek cuisine, I use spirits sometimes, such as when making sauces. Like, I sometimes deglaze the pan when I make steak with bourbon and make a nice, butter sauce.

In Greek cuisine, I only use spirits when making desserts. However, I do use wine sometimes in my savory dishes. Do people use spirits in their savory cooking in Greece? If so, how?

I use spirits all the time when I cook, even Greek foods. It's mostly wine, but sometimes I will use Metaxa (especially when cooking red meat).
