Sounds just like it's 'distilled fermented grape juice' to me - so,
presumably Schnapps / moonshine is probably a close equivalent?

?

Hi, All Pisco Fans,

    For those who cannot find Pisco at their
corner store, or who never get to travel to the
High Desert but are stuck in the Great Bottoms,
there is the Internet Safari to the PiscoMall:
http://www.piscomall.com/
    They sell 50 different kinds of Pisco.

Rob,

I'll check it out. In '96 there was no supplier anywhere that I could
find. I suppose that things have changed since.

But I have never seen it anywhere here in Flagstaff. Guess none have
the taste for it.

Pisco is actually fairly easy to get in the U.S. I noticed a while back
that one of my favorite local wine shops (Hi Time Wine Cellars in Costa
Mesa, CA) carries about a half-dozen varities of Pisco:

Perhaps you have a local specialty wine store that offers it. Or you
may even be able to buy it online at the above link. Since Pisco is
made from grapes (obviously highly distilled), it is often categorized
with brandy (though sometimes with tequila). --Rob
