Cognac birthday

December 1, Sunday

Cognac Birthday is an unofficial holiday celebrated annually on December 1. It is dedicated to the famous French drink, whose origins and traditions are associated with the Cognac region in southwestern France.

Cognac appeared in the 16th century, when Dutch merchants, wanting to preserve French wine for transportation, began to distill it into alcohol. Over time, it became clear that aging in oak barrels not only preserves, but also improves the taste of the drink, turning it into cognac - a noble alcohol with a rich aroma and deep taste.

Interesting facts
Cognac is classified by age: VS (Very Special) - aged for at least 2 years, VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) - at least 4 years, and XO (Extra Old) - at least 10 years.

Real cognac can only be produced in certain regions of France and must meet strict quality standards.
