Cognac
Cognac is a type of brandy named after the commune of Cognac in western France. Cognac production falls under French appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designation, which stipulates that it must be grown in a specific wine-growing region in the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. The AOC also mandates that particular grapes (of which St. Émilion is the most common) be used, and that the drink be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in oak barrels from designated surrounding areas of France. Close to 200 cognac producers exist, of which the largest producers are Courvoisier, Hennessy, Martell and Rémy Martin. This photograph shows cognac in a snifter, a glass with a large tapered bowl and a short stem that allows the drinker to enjoy the aroma by placing their hand underneath the bowl and warming the cognac.Photograph credit: Didier Descouens

About me

[edit]

I'm a German Studies student from Birmingham, UK, currently living in Hesse, Germany. I'm generally interested in Germany and its language, science (especially physics and astronomy), music and computer games. If you have anything to say to me, you're welcome to add something to my talk page.

Why am I on Wikipedia?

[edit]

Content-wise, I generally make minor or small edits to articles as I come across them, occasionally contributing more to topics relating to Germany, linguistics etc.

In addition, I often deal with semi-protected article edit requests and review pending changes to articles. I also watch Recent changes, both to pick up on vandalism quickly, and to constantly find new stuff to read...

You can see my barnstar page here.
