The History of Cognac
As is known, at the international legislative level there is a norm established, according to which only a strong alcoholic drink produced in the province of the same name in France can be called “cognac”. In other regions and countries, the product of double distillation of certain grape varieties, aged in oak barrels, is called “brandy”. In different European countries there are various beautiful legends associated with the origin of cognac. But they all remain just myths. The historical championship of France, upon detailed analysis, is also subject to skepticism by many scientists, since an alcoholic drink very similar in its properties was known in Ancient Rome.Be that as it may, today cognac is one of the most popular types of strong alcohol throughout the world. Even in some Muslim countries known for their strict attitude towards drinking alcohol. For example, in the largest city of the UAE, a specialized service in the Alcohol home delivery Dubai category will deliver cognac and other alcohol from the world’s leading brands directly to the door of your home or hotel room quickly and at a very reasonable price.
Returning to the history of cognac, it should be noted that the modern traditions of producing this drink go back to the 18th century. It was then that the French mastered new technologies for distilling grape spirits. The raw materials used were berries grown in the legendary vineyards of Poitou, founded in the 12th century and in the immediate vicinity. Since the city of Cognac for a long time served as a large port trading center, the locally produced strong alcoholic drink quickly spread throughout Europe and was regularly imported even to North America and Asia. The local residents appreciated the taste, aroma of cognac, and its long shelf life without loss of unique organoleptic qualities.
Since then, cognac has gained the reputation of a noble elite drink, intended for special occasions and for refined company. This is especially true in Europe and North America. And although the popularity of cognac and brandy is somewhat lower in the Middle East, online alcohol delivery services Dubai offer the widest range of the world's most famous brands. Delivering alcohol to your home or room in Dubai is much cheaper than the cost of alcoholic drinks in bars, restaurants or nightclubs. In addition, it is much faster and safer than going to one of the specialized stores.
