1. Brandy

   Brandy is a liquor produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks. Others are coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of ageing, and some are produced using a combination of ageing and colouring. Varieties of wine brandy can be found across the winemaking world. Among the most renowned are Cognac and Armagnac from southwestern France.In a broader sense, the term brandy also denotes liquors obtained from the distillation of pomace (yielding pomace brandy), or mash or wine of any other fruit (fruit brandy). These products are also called eau de vie (which translates to "water of life").

   Brandy is a type of alcoholic beverage distilled from wine or fermented fruit juice. The name comes from the Dutch word "brandewijn" meaning "burnt wine," and it typically has an alcohol content ranging from 35% to 60%. It is often aged in wooden casks which give it a distinctive brown color and complex flavor. The aging process and kind of fruit used in production greatly influence the taste and quality of the final product. Some popular types of brandy include cognac, Armagnac and pisco.

Brandy is also produced from fermented fruits other than grapes, but these products are typically named eaux-de-vie, especially in French. In some countries, fruit flavouring or some other flavouring may be added to a spirit that is called "brandy".

Examples of brandy in a Sentence

1. Terry Pratchett:

   I have vowed that rather than let Alzheimer's take me, I would take it, i would live my life as ever to the full and die, before the disease mounted its last attack, in my own home, in a chair on the lawn, with a brandy in my hand to wash down whatever modern version of the Brompton Cocktail some helpful medic could supply. And with Thomas Tallis on my iPod, I would shake hands with death.
