What is it cognac and brandy?
It is the double distilled white wine. The name brandy is derived from Dutch word brandewijn , which means „burned wine".
Cognac is a brandy produced from white grapes (mostly ugni blanc) which are grown in the strictly-defined region of the Charentes in south-west France and a small part of Deux Sevres and Dordogne. This region is divided into 6 growths (crus) based on soil characteristics that are reflected in the final product: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fin Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinares et Bois Communes.
So, the same as champagne and sparkling wine, brandy and cognac has one essential difference - the place of their production. The drink made in Charantes region is called cognac, and the drink made in other France or world regions is named brandy.
