Cognac is the most famous type of brandy that originated in Cognac, France. This is one of only three areas in Europe that are designated as brandy-producers. There are tight restrictions binding the brewing and fermenting of cognac. These include the varieties of grapes that must be used in its production, the amount of time the cognac has to be aged, and the type of oak that is used to make the barrels they are aged in.
