Brandy.-Brandy
All wines made from grapes and various fruits by fermentation and distillation are collectively called brandy. The manufacturing method is to store the materials produced in the above process in wooden barrels for many years to make them mature.
So the predecessor of brandy is actually white wine. Liquor, produced in France, takes grapes and various fruits as raw materials and is collectively called brandy after fermentation and distillation. The manufacturing method is to store the materials produced in the above process in wooden barrels for many years to make them mature.
So the predecessor of brandy is actually white wine. French-made liquor is the best, and natural French brandy is also the first.
It is said that in the16th century, perhaps earlier, when the brandy trade was just emerging, the distillation technology used in perfume production had not been used in wine. At that time, the wine trade between La Rochelle and the Netherlands was very prosperous at the pier of the Charente River in France. This kind of business is realized by this kind of sea transportation. But because of the war, the danger is great, and the loss is of course common.
The whole case of wine occupies a lot of space in the engine room. So a clever Dutch businessman came up with a wonderful method, which is to remove the water from the wine and concentrate it into alcohol. In this way, it will not take up space when transported to the Netherlands, and the loss will not be too great in case of war. After reaching the destination, adding water becomes the original wine.
But when the businessman arrived in Holland, his friends tried this concentrated wine and found it sweet, but it tasted bad after adding water. So the merchant decided to sell it as wine. The Dutch call this wine "BRANDE WINE", which means combustible wine. BRANDY is also simplified from the original Dutch words.
What's the difference between cognac and ordinary brandy?
Cognac is actually an ancient town along the Charente River in southwest France, and it is also the most famous grape producing area. With unique advantages, it is suitable for grape planting regardless of climate and soil. Therefore, the wine and brandy brewed by grapes in this area are collectively called cognac to show their preciousness.
In order to ensure the quality of brandy, the French government has made very strict regulations on the naming of cognac: only cognac produced and brewed in cognac area can be named cognac.
Cognac is divided into six growing areas, and the quality of wine produced is also different. In order:
1 Grand Champagne Zone
2. small champagne, a small champagne area
3. Border areas-borders
4. Planting forest areas-excellent tree species
5.Bonsbois, a superior planting forest area.
6. Common planting area-common trees
The quality of cognac is better than other brandies, and it is also because of the traditional special distillation technology in this area for hundreds of years. The distiller includes a large pot with a convex cover to collect alcohol vapor. A tube is connected to the top of the cover to absorb alcohol, so it can be used as an umbrella.
Another ancient French brandy, Armagnac, has been distilled in Gasconi for 500 years. Armagnac brandy is usually stored in oak barrels for at least three years.
Brandy needs to be aged in oak barrels to make the wine more mellow In this process, the texture of oak played a great role. Therefore, the choice of wood and the manufacture of barrels are also very particular.
The best brandy is made from many brandies of different ages and sources. Their species and proportions are kept secret by winemakers.
The bottleneck of cognac is printed with a star seal, from 1 star to 5 stars, indicating the storage life respectively; In addition, the mass is represented by omitted letters, such as:
E/ excellent
F: Very good.
very good
O/OLD is ancient.
E/ very special
P/ light color
Good S/SUPERIOR
Among them, V. O means very old, generally stored for 3-6 years; V. S.OX.o stored for 7- 10 years 15 years; X stored for more than 40 years; S.f means kindness and virtue.
But because different companies have different standards, you don't have to believe it too much.
Cognac can be used to make cocktails and other drinks. No matter what kind of wine it is mixed with, cognac always maintains its unique flavor.
-fruit brandy-fruit brandy
All mixed wines made from fruits, herbs, spices and other raw materials are collectively called "fruit brandy". We put the name of the fruit in front, plus brandy, which is the name of this wine.

Katie 3 liters of gold foil premium XO brandy
As a traditional Chinese medicine in China, gold has a history of several centuries. In Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, gold was listed as a precious Chinese herbal medicine.
In Japan, 999.9% of pure gold foil has been tested by the Health Center of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan and is allowed to be eaten. After years of research and practice, experts from IKYODA Institute finely treat "gold" to form fine suspended particles that are easily absorbed by human body, and then penetrate into the skin through massage, which can keep the skin acidic when encountering negative charges accumulated on the skin surface, thus enhancing the skin's resistance to the external environment. Gold particles produce a heat conductor on the skin surface, which can promote blood circulation, effectively eliminate cytotoxins and cytokines, and make delicate skin grow healthily, soft and moist, and regain its moving luster.
Alexander, a partner of Aegean Restaurant in West End of London, said, "In the past four or five months, the use of gold has increased. Our shop has been using gold for many years, and we try to make different cuisines with gold. Most foods served in Aegean restaurants call for a healthy diet, such as kangaroo meat, scorpions and locusts. For the same reason, they also serve meals with gold added. Alexander said that eating gold often helps circulation, clearing blood and improving mind. Gold can be worn, and many people may not know that gold can also be eaten. This edible gold is actually gold foil. Ancient people in China thought swallowing gold was bad for their health, but Japanese people had a soft spot for eating gold. Recently, the invention of edible gold is popular in China. There are gold coffee in the south and 10,000 yuan gold zongzi in the north. Gold is a symbol of luxury and nobility. The world likes to highlight its position with gold. In addition to wearing, Japanese people also like to eat, but they eat edible gold foil with a purity of 24 K. Modern people pay more and more attention to the health of diet, especially the natural and energetic diet. Japanese believe that eating gold foil can effectively improve blood circulation and accelerate metabolism. Adding gold foil to Japanese food or drink is a symbol of high-class catering. Others think that eating gold can eliminate bad luck and introduce wealth.
-Whiskey.-Whiskey
It is said that it comes from the "water of life" made by indigenous people in Britain and Ireland. The original finished product is sweeter than the present one, because it is used as a tonic to eliminate fatigue.
Whisky has "malt whisky" (malt, scotch whisky, Irish whisky); Bourbon (é é); There are three kinds of "corn".
Scotch whisky is brownish yellow, reddish, clear and transparent, and has a burnt taste. Its manufacturing process is generally to soak barley in water to make malt, then process and grind it, and then treat it with amylase to become wort. In this process, malt needs to be dried, and the baking method of open flame smoking is the reason why scotch whisky is slightly smoked and burnt. Then yeast is added to the wort, fermented for 2 times, put into the distiller for many times, extract 70%-80% alcohol from it, and store it in oak barrels to make it mature. During this period, the alcohol content of scotch whisky will be moderately weakened and become amber, which is more mellow and delicious.
Whisky can be drunk for more than five years, seven to eight years is a finished wine, fifteen to twenty years is a high-quality finished wine, and the quality of whiskey for more than twenty years will decline.
Irish whiskey, on the other hand, retains the ancient brewing technology, has no smoky taste, and has a long and soft taste, which is more suitable for brewing mixed wine.
Corn whiskey is mainly produced in the United States and Canada. Its raw materials are corn and other miscellaneous grains.
Generally speaking, whisky has a unique flavor. It is said that this aroma is a combination of the aroma of sherry and the red fruit of fir trees.
Scotch McGeorge whisky
Scotch McGeorge whisky is made of wheat and peat, so besides the general fruit flavor [such as citrus flavor, lemon flavor, apricot flavor, etc.], it also has the flavor of nectar and soot. ]. This is the biggest difference between Scotch McGeorge whisky and other whiskies or brandies! ! The manufacturing process of Scotch McGeorge whisky is very complicated. In addition to using Speyside pure wheat in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, we insist on using only local natural well water, and after aging in Shirley barrels, it produces a mellow taste like flowers, fruits and honey. Scotch whisky is the best whisky in the world, and Scottish Highland single malt whisky is the best. Among them, Speyside single malt whisky in Scottish Highlands is the best in whisky; Speyside's unique geographical location, rich minerals in the river and suitable plateau climate make it a favorable condition for brewing whisky.
Scotch whisky: the water of life
Scotch whisky seems to be a great miracle created by God-at least a miracle created by one of his priests: 1494, Brother John Cole got 1 ton of malt, which he turned into 1400 bottles of amber spirits. At that time, this wine was called "water of life", and the Celts in Scotland used it to refresh their minds, treat colds and enrich their lives. Later, this "water of life" was again
People call it "whisky"
Today, whisky celebrates its 506th anniversary of global distribution. It is impossible to know whether Cole and his monk friends were the only ones who drank this whisky 506 years ago. However, people know that up to now, Scotland's "Water of Life" has sold well in 190 countries, with a sales volume of10.55 million bottles. Whisky has become one of the main sources of income for the British Treasury. From 65438 to 0999, the export volume of whisky reached 2.2 billion pounds (US$ 3.38 billion), making it one of the top five export products in Britain. In addition, in Britain, the consumers of the world-famous scotch whisky pay 654.38 billion pounds of tax to the national treasury every year.
People don't know the exact date when it was first brewed into whisky and when it came to Scotland, let alone that the whisky brewing technology came from Asia. This brewing technology has a history of more than 3,000 years. About 16 ~ 17 century, with the dissolution of Scottish monasteries, whisky came to the people, and those unemployed monks began to use their knowledge to benefit their parishioners. Whisky brewing technology, like the Oracle, soon spread among the people. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, the independent Scottish Parliament made its first attempt: not only barley malt was taxed, but also the final product, whisky.
1707 After the merger of Scotland and Britain, Britain raised the tax rate of whisky, which was a measure to control the rebellious Scottish nation. In the following years (150), the Scots tried their best to evade taxes. 1823, the British government approved the production of whisky by law, but the producer had to spend 10 to apply for a production license, and each gallon of wine had to pay a certain tax.
In Britain, taxes of various names account for 66% of the price of a bottle of whisky. Producers complain about this, because according to the alcohol content of whisky, they have already paid much higher taxes than other alcoholic beverages. Therefore, on the occasion of the 506th anniversary of the official appearance of whisky, they launched a publicity campaign against this unreasonable phenomenon.
/kloc-At the end of 0/9, the French grape plantation suffered a disaster. The Scots took advantage of this opportunity to import whisky into France. As a result, the French consume more whisky in a month than brandy in a year.
In the 1920s, the United States started the prohibition of alcohol 12 years, during which scotch whisky continued to enter the United States. 1933 when the United States lifted the ban, whisky had occupied the territory of American producers.
Today, there are 100 whisky brewing enterprises in Scotland, and 50% of the annual output is sold to Europe; Asia has also imported a lot of whisky in recent years, accounting for15% of the total output; Followed by the United States and Latin America, 14% and 9% respectively.
The name of scotch whisky is not easy to get, and the whisky made should be kept in the shade for at least 5 years. Every year, a part of the whisky in the barrel will volatilize, and the Scots call this part of the disappeared wine "angel's drink". Today, Scotland has 2.5 billion litres of whisky in stock.
The 8-year-old single malt whisky in Indrevo, Scotland is a top-grade whisky made from the highest quality wheat, following the most traditional brewing technology and carefully blending. Scottish Indrevo 8-year-old single malt whisky is more than 30 different single malt whiskies carefully selected by wine cellar masters according to their unique flavor, thus creating an unparalleled wine treasure among Scottish Indrevo 8-year-old single malt whiskies.
