Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Nicholas Faith offers Classic Brandy, a tour of the world's most aristocratic liquor. Like gin, brandy arose in the Netherlands; it was known as "burnt wine," a reference to its distillation from fermented grape juice. More popular than ever due to its modern association with plutocracy and cigar smoking, brandy has transcended its humble beginnings and ubiquitous appearance in cartoons hanging from the neck of rescue dogs. French brandies, cognac and armagnac, carry the most cachet, but Spanish and Greek brandies have loyal followings, too. And Italy's grappa shouldn't be dismissed despite its penchant for bottles that outshine the spirits within them. Mark Knoblauch
