Brandy glasses

Brandy, burnt wine, cognac, how do they differ? How to savor this high-proof, luxurious drink? Which glass to choose to perfectly complement this alcohol? Be sure to read the text below to discover the whole truth about this exclusive alcoholic beverage.

How is brandy made?

Brandy is also known as burnt wine. This is due to its production process, as this drink is made during the distillation of grape wine or, less commonly, fruit wine. The next stage is the so-called aging in oak barrels. The minimum alcohol content in brandy is 36%. Compared to liqueur, which has a minimum of 24% alcohol, champagne 12%, or martini bianco 14%, burnt wine, like tinctures, is a high-proof alcoholic beverage.

Burnt wine was first savored on the Old Continent in the Middle Ages. Although there were no cognac glasses or even martini glasses back then, this alcohol already had its enthusiasts.

Brandy glasses are a product for true connoisseurs

Burnt wine is a high-proof alcohol, so it is most often consumed by lovers of this type of drink. Some enjoy it in its pure form, and it can also be added to cocktails or drinks. Connoisseurs, when drinking it, often place the decanter on the table and hold the drink in the glass in their hand to maintain its room temperature.

Every country has its customs, so different varieties of this drink are popular in each country. In Poland, for example, the most well-known is Śliwowica, in Greece Metaxa, in France Armagnac, in Chile Pisco, and in Slovakia Palenka. Each of these spirits makes an ideal gift for a loved one, especially if the giver includes appropriate, exclusive glasses with the drink. Our store offers luxurious collections of them.

How to drink brandy to fully enjoy it?

To drink brandy properly, you should buy exclusive, low, bulbous glasses with a short stem. Although such a glass can hold the capacity of a whole glass, it should not be filled to the brim. Unlike wine, or even champagne or martini, burnt wine is poured into glasses in an amount of about 50 ml.

Unlike other spirits, brandy is served at room temperature, meaning the bottle is not chilled in the refrigerator. Despite its small amount in the glass, it is sipped slowly, holding it in the mouth for a moment. There are also those who prefer burnt wine in the form of cocktails.


Is cognac the same as brandy?

Every cognac is a type of brandy, but the reverse is not true. For a drink to be called cognac, it must come from the Cognac region in France. And although cognac is still produced in this region today, its origins are actually found in Armenia. It was the Armenians who first began to produce and drink it. Allegedly, the Dutch were next.

What is the price of brandy, and what about cognac?

Depending on the quality of the drink, its price is determined. The price of a high-quality bottle of cognac can reach several hundred zlotys. Similar values apply to the price of high-class brandy. However, it is worth placing such an order and savoring exclusive spirits.
