History

Brandy is the name used for a wide range of spirits, mostly made from grape wines.

The name brandy is a shortened form of Brandywine, which is an English form of Dutch brandewijn, meaning "burnt wine".

This is precisely what the brandy. To make brandy, the wine is heated in a still until it is separated into its components, which evaporate at various points on the temperature scale. This is the process used to convert wine into brandy.

Brandy development can be attributed to customs and excise. In the days when alcohol sales were taxed by volume, regardless of the alcohol content, wine merchants sought ways to reduce the amount they paid. By distilling the wine they made was not only easier to transport, but managed to pay less tax.
