What is "brandy"?
Brandy is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented and distilled fruit juice, typically grapes. It is usually 40-50% alcohol by volume and is popular in many countries around the world. Brandy is usually clear and has a sweet, fruity flavor. It is often served neat or with a mixer, and is also used to make a variety of cocktails. Brandy is also used in cooking, and is often used to add flavor to sauces and marinades. Brandy can range in flavor from dry to sweet, and is typically aged in oak barrels to give it a smooth, mellow flavor.
