Sabra is a brand (I think Israeli?); if you go to the WineChateau site you'll see chocolate and coffee liqueurs.

Saba is the same thing as Sapa, which is a modern (probably very old) descendant of Roman wine reductions and/or wine made from semi-dried, grape concentrate, like defrutum, etc.

Basically a thick. sweet, grape syrup...

Adamantius (who still has an old bottle of Sapa from Sahadi's in Brooklyn)
