How Are They Made?
Brandy
The origins of Brandy go back to the early 16th century when a Dutch trader invented a way to ship more wine in limited cargo space by boiling the wine to remove water. After shipping, the water could be added back to the concentrated wine at the destination port.
What does it taste like? Brandy is distilled from both red and white wines or fermented fruit juices such as apples, blackberries, and apricots. It is then aged for at least 6 months in oak casks.
