Why is brandy going away?

[Bucko]

From cognacnet:

Brandy is a distilled wine. The word brandy originated from "brandewijn" which means "burnt wine" in Dutch.

There are three basic types of brandy:

Grape brandy (eau-de-vie de vin)

Pomace brandy (eau de vie de marc)

Fruits brandy (eau-de-vie de fruits).

Brandy without a source identified means that it is a grape product. It is distilled around the world. All other brandies must have a source identified.

Among the popular brandies of the world are:

Applejack, an American apple brandy

Armagnac, the French brandy from Gers

Calvados, the French apple brandy

Cognac, the French brandy from Charente and Charente Maritime region

Marc, Bagaceira or Grappa are distilled from the grape pomace.

Cognac is pretty much all I drink (spirit-wise), usually an XO from Remy Martin or Hennessy.
