What is the actual taste difference between French Cognac and other Cognac?
If you get a liquid/solid modem, there is rather expensive software that
will analyse the tastes of the two and you can compare the two analyses
manually or with a text comparer.

Qui sont les plus gros acheteurs de cognac dans le monde ?

There is no other Cognac. Cognac is brandy from the Cognac region of
France. If it is made anywhere else it is called brandy.

No way. In Montréal or any other french speaking city outside of France, you couldn't stop a Cognac maker from using that name.
Are you sure of that? Why would French-speaking cities be different
from towns and rural areas or from non-French-speaking places?

I wonder if you went to a liquor store and looked at the ones labeled
cognac if maybe they are all from the Cognac region of France.

AFAIK, they all have to be from France. The rest are brandy.


I think Champagne has lost its control of that word, but not every place
has.

AFAIK that's not true. Which is why the crap from say, NY state, is labeled
sparkling wine.
You're right! I guess I don't go to the right bars, or I don't spend
enogh money.

Well, in the Boston to Washington corridor "the right bar" might instead mean an exclusive club where expenses are paid quarterly or yearly, etc.. like on a golf course or at a retreat or in an urban area.
