Here are the differences between brandy and cognac, plus how much they cost, where they come from, and a few popular brands to try.
Cognac is a type of brandy, and after the distillation and during the aging process, is also called eau de vie. [6] It is produced by twice distilling wine made from grapes grown in any of the designated growing regions.
Brandy is traditionally served at room temperature from a snifter, a wine glass or a tulip glass. When drunk at room temperature, it is often slightly warmed by holding the glass cupped in the palm or by gentle heating. Excessive heating of brandy may cause the alcohol vapour to become too strong, causing its aroma to become overpowering.
If fermentation is allowed to run to completion, the resulting wine is (in most cases) low in sugar and is considered a dry wine. Adding alcohol earlier in the fermentation process results in a sweeter wine. For drier fortified wine styles, such as sherry, the alcohol is added shortly before or after the end of the fermentation.
