Brandy

Brandy is a type of alcoholic beverage made by distilling wine. It is not a plant or grain but is produced from the fermentation and distillation of fruit juices, most commonly grapes. The liquid is then aged in wooden barrels, which gives it its distinctive flavour.

To make brandy, the fruit juice is first fermented into wine. Then, through a process called distillation, the alcohol in the wine is separated from the water and other components, resulting in a higher alcohol content. The brandy is often aged in barrels made from oak or other woods, allowing it to develop its flavour and aroma over time.

Brandy is frequently used in cooking and baking to add a rich, complex flavour to dishes. It can be found in various recipes like sauces, desserts, and marinades, enhancing the taste of dishes like steak Diane, cherries jubilee, or fruitcake. Additionally, brandy is enjoyed on its own as a sipping spirit and is a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Sidecar and Brandy Alexander.
