Cognac<br />

“Art is wine and experience is the brandy we distill from it.”<br />

– Robertson Davies<br />

Brandy is an alcoholic beverage made from the wines or<br />

fermented mashes of other fruits and is commonly identified by<br />

the specific fruit name.<br />

Cognac is a variety of brandy named after the commune of<br />

Cognac, France. It is produced in the surrounding wine-growing<br />

region in the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime.<br />

The region and the beverage cognac has a long history and<br />

involves all kind of nations, merchants, kings and aristocrats,<br />

natural catastrophes, wars and cold winters. Despite all this,<br />

cognac kept getting better and better, century after century.<br />

Cognac is also popular in Nordic countries – there are some<br />

quite important medium-sized cognac producers, such as Larsen,<br />

Braastad and Otard originated from Scandinavia.<br />
