Brandy & Cognac

Brandy is made from distilled wine and often served as an after dinner digestif. Exceptional examples are produced all over the world with the most famous example coming from Cognac, in southwestern France. All Cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is Cognac; they’re both Eau de Vie, meaning Water of Life, which covers the broader style of spirit made from fruit: wine grapes, pears, raspberries, the list goes on! - Erin Loader
