Fog Is a common occurrence in Atlantic Canada. It might impair your visibility, yet it remains largely benign—and interestingly, it’s now potable as well.
After fleeing the The Fort McMurray fires in 2016 On a misty day, after returning to Newfoundland, Bill Tuff’s wife remarked, “I quite enjoy how damp it is here. I’ll never grumble about the fog anymore.”
That was when Bill came up with the idea of ' Fog Vodka '.

"If we capture fog, convert it back into water, and then use that water to produce vodka, I believe that would be quite an impressive concept," stated Bill.
Thanks to his brother Kenny, they quickly turned the concept into action—advancing swiftly and persistently, akin to the creeping mist.
Newfoundland experiences approximately 100 to 110 foggy days annually; however, Kenny jokes that it might seem even more frequent to some residents.
It is considered one of the foggiest locations on the planet, making it an excellent site for harvesting moisture from the atmosphere.
The siblings employ technology created for arid coastal deserts and mountainous areas with limited water supply.

As the mist moves through a delicate mesh screen, it hits its dew point, causing water droplets to form and be gathered solely via wind and natural motion, without requiring any energy input.
Prior to being utilized for production purposes, the water undergoes testing to confirm compliance with all food and safety regulations.
Bill describes the result as a refined and silky vodka with a faint sweet note.
Even though the beverage might seem easy to swallow, Bill adds a cautionary note: "Watch out for how much you intake at once—otherwise, your recollections could be hazy the following day."
