More From Ripley's Believe It or Not
I believe, Cognac, is a distilled wine. Whereas “brandy” is more of a drink from distilled fruits, such as grapes (wine) etc…
If you distill wine, then put it in a casket (oak case/barrel) you end up with “Cognac”. But if you use fruits, like grapes, peaches etc…, you end up with a wine, which can also be a “brandy”.
(the difference between wine and brandy, is how it’s stored, not made).
That’s what I understood it to be.
