Space tourism provides an excellent vacation opportunity and many different industries make look to capitalize on it. It is no secret that many people enjoy alcohol on their vacations, and Remy Martin the French spirits maker has introduced a product to do so on space vacations. The product called Remy Space has properties which they believe make it possible for patrons to enjoy a shot in outer space. It was introduced at an air show in Paris, and was an early success. Tim Martin a spokesperson for Remy Martin explains the introduction of Remy Space on Earth looking forward to the future when he said, “We'll flood the market on Earth so that when they get into space it'll be all they want to drink.”
Remy Space goes through an interesting production process, that enables it to be consumed in space. The alcohol is frozen to negative twelve degrees centigrade (ten degrees Fahrenheit), then ran through the same filters used to recycle used water on the space station. The benefit of this production method is the removal of fatty substances in the cognac, and concentrating the cognacs aroma, making it smooth and fluid at sub-zero temperatures. The alcohol comes in a specialized container that includes a flexible plastic flask with a drinking straw and an anti-leak valve which prevents the alcohol from escaping in zero gravity. To complete the packaging there is a metallized thermal wrapper to block external radiation.
