Brandy is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from wine or fermented fruit mash. France produces about 70% of the world's brandy, with Cognac and Armagnac being the most famous French brandies. Cognac comes from specific regions in France and is aged in limousin oak casks, resulting in a superior brandy. Armagnac is produced in Gascony, France and has a drier, nuttier flavor than Cognac. Other brandy producing countries include the United States, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Spain, and Australia. Brandy is served neat or in cocktails and goes well with mixers like cola or ginger ale. Popular brandy
Brandy is a distilled spirit produced by fermenting and distilling wine. Cognac is a specific type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France using double distillation in pot stills. Armagnac is another type of brandy from Gascony, France, produced using single continuous distillation. Other brandies can be made from various fruits like apples, peaches, or grapes and are often named after the base fruit. Brandy is aged in oak barrels which impacts its color, flavor, and aroma.

Major brands of Cognac include Martell, Hennessey, and Rémy Martin, while well-known Armagnac brands include Delord and
Cognac is a brandy produced in the Cognac region of France from white grapes that have been double distilled and aged in oak barrels. The production process involves harvesting grapes in late September through November, pressing them to extract juice which is fermented and distilled twice in pot stills. The resulting spirit, called "bonne chauffe", is aged for at least 3 years in Limousin or Tronçais oak barrels, during which time it loses volume to evaporation and gains color and flavor from the wood. Cognacs are blends of spirits from different barrels and regions, with "Grande Champagne" denoting spirits from the finest grape-growing area.

2) There is a weekly wine tasting series on Fridays hosted by Barry Alberts featuring high-scoring wines from California, Australia, Spain, and France.
3) Check out the Miami Herald wine blog for reviews of Italian wines.
1. Brandy is produced through a two-step distillation process of fermented fruit juice, typically grape wine. This separates the alcohol from the water for a higher alcohol content spirit.
2. Fine brandies are produced using small pot stills and double distillation, while mass-produced brandies use large column stills and fractional distillation.
3. Aging in oak barrels for several years further concentrates the flavors and aromas and is a key part of the production process for fine brandies like Cognac.

Champagne is made using the double fermentation process in the Champagne region of France. It involves harvesting grapes and pressing them to extract juice, conducting an initial fermentation to make a neutral wine, blending wines from different vineyards and vintages, bottling it with sugar to undergo a second fermentation that produces bubbles, and aging it on the yeast sediments to develop flavor before disgorging and finishing. The process is strictly regulated and results in a celebratory sparkling wine known for sophistication.
A Dutch trader in the early 16th century invented a method of removing water from wine and concentrating it to allow more wine to be shipped. This concentrated wine was called "bradwijn" or "burned wine" and later became known as brandy. Brandy is aged cognac that is separated into quality grades based on the number of years it is stored, with VS being at least 2 years, VSOP at least 4 years, and XO at least 6 years or sometimes 20 years for premium blends.
Champagne Production Process ( Fermentation Technology ).pptxPjdvhsdf
Champagne is a sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France using the méthode champenoise. The production process is complex, taking 15 months on average. Key steps include pressing grapes to extract juice, primary fermentation to make still white wine, blending wines, bottling with yeast for secondary fermentation that produces bubbles, aging on lees to develop flavor, riddling to remove sediment from the bottle neck, disgorgement to remove sediment, adding dosage to adjust sweetness, corking and wire cage application. Champagne is made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes grown on chalky soil in the region, giving it distinct flavors.

It describes the different styles of non-vintage, vintage and prestige cuvée Champagnes, as well as classifications like Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs. It provides tips on pairing and selling Champagne.
Fortified wines are wines that have had brandy or alcohol added to them. This stops the fermentation process and results in wines that are both sweeter and stronger, typically containing around 20% alcohol by volume. There are several famous types of fortified wines including sherry, port, madeira, marsala, and malaga. Sherry is produced near Jerez, Spain using palomino grapes and follows the solera aging system. Port is produced in Douro Valley, Portugal using over 40 grape varieties and is fortified with grape spirits during fermentation. Madeira uses several grape varieties and is heated during aging, resulting in a distinctive caramel flavor. Marsala is produced in Sicily, Italy from local grape varieties

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. BRANDY
Session Objectives-
After completion one would be able to
recall what is a brandy, how it is made and
know about the world famous Cognac and
Armagnac.
4. DEFINITION
Brandy is a potable spirit obtained from the
distillation of wine or fermented mash of fruit
which has suitably aged in wood.
The brandies distilled from other fruits is
called as „Fruit Brandies‟
5. INTRODUCTION
It is normally consumed as an after-dinner
drink
Brandy made from wine is generally
coloured in dark oak casks
Pomace and fruit brandies are generally
drunk un-aged
Most brandy is 80 proof (40% alcohol)
6. ETYMOLOGY
Brandy derives it's name from the Dutch
word „brandewijn‟ meaning "burned wine"
and is a liquor distilled from wine or other
fermented fruit juices.
7. HISTORY
Long before the 16th century, wine was a
popular product for trading in European
region
Dutchman trader invented a way to ship
more wine in the limited cargo space by
removing water from the wine
8. HISTORY
Then he could add the water back to the
concentrated wine at the destination port in
Holland
They called it "bradwijn," meaning "burned
wine," and later became "brandy."
9. COGNAC
As the saying goes, all Cognac is Brandy,
but all Brandy is not Cognac
It is also called as delightful soul of wine
and “eau de vie” meaning water of life and
aged for at least two years
10. COGNAC
Cognac can only originate from the town
of Cognac, France, and its six surrounding
viticulture areas
The process of creating Cognac is
extremely controlled, and it adheres to
strict rules and regulations
11. COGNAC PRODUCING REGIONS
The cognac region has chalky soil, stony
red-soiled plains and green valleys
This zone is itself divided into different
vintage regions which have each their own
characteristics and are governed by AOC
12. COGNAC PRODUCING REGIONS
a. The Grande Champagne
b. The Petite Champagne
c. The Borderies
d. The Fins Bois or Fine Woods
e. The Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires
15. APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE
Appellation d‟origine contrôlée (AOC),
means "controlled designation of origin”
It is the French certification granted to
certain French geographical indications for
wines, cheeses, butters, and other
agricultural products
16. APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE
All under the auspices of the government
bureau - Institut National des Appellations
d'Origine(INAO)
AOC products can be identified by a seal,
which is printed on the label in wines,
cognacs etc
20. MANUFACTURING
It may be made only from a strict list of
grape varieties, if it is to carry the name
of one of the crus then it must be at least
90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and
Colombard although 10% of the grapes
used can be Folignan, Jurançon blanc
The harvest takes place in early October,
by this time, the grapes have ripened
21. MANUFACTURING
After harvesting & screening the grapes
are pressed in the traditional horizontal
plate presses or pneumatic presses
Fermentation is natural, by the yeast
present on grapes during bloom
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) takes two
to three weeks
22. MANUFACTURING
Yeasts are allowed to convert the sugar
into alcohol
Because the wine is low in alcohol,
about 7-8% ; about 10 gallons of wine is
needed to produce one gallon of
Cognac
23. MANUFACTURING
Distilled by traditional pot still method that
are traditionally shaped
The first heating is called premiere chauffe
The first distillate is called as the „brouillis,‟
which contains an alcohol level of 28% to
32% volume
24. MANUFACTURING
The „brouillis‟ is returned back to the boiler for
a second heating known as the „la bonne
chauffe.‟
It is during this second heating that the eau-
de-vie, or the spirit, is finally extracted from
the liquid
25. MANUFACTURING
Here, the distiller performs a delicate
process called „cutting‟ by separating the
„heart‟ from the „heads‟ and the „tails.‟
The vapors that arrive first (the heads)
have too high alcoholic content, and so
they are cut off and separated from the
rest of the liquid
26. MANUFACTURING
The next batch of liquid is the „heart,‟ or a
colorless delicate, pure liquid with a 70%
alcohol per volume
The end vapour are called tails
27. MANUFACTURING
The distilled wine must be aged before
becoming Cognac, for at least two years
This ageing takes place in 270 to 450 liter
oak casks (barrels)
28. MANUFACTURING
The natural level of humidity in the cellars
is one of the main influencing factors on
the ageing of the spirits due to its effect on
evaporation
29. MANUFACTURING
As the cognac interacts with the oak barrel
and the air, it evaporates at the rate of
about three percent each year, slowly
losing both alcohol and water
30. MANUFACTURING
Because the alcohol evaporates faster than
the water, cognac reaches the target 40%
alcohol by volume in about four or five
decades
Lesser grades can be produced much
sooner by diluting the cognac with water
31. MANUFACTURING
In order to develop all its qualities and also
to reduce its alcohol content, Cognac must
mature for many years in oaks casks
During this ageing, Cognac loses between
3 and 4 % of its volume every year (Angels
Share)
32. MANUFACTURING
Since oak barrels stop contributing to flavor
after four or five decades, cognac is then
transferred to large glass carboys called
bonbonnes, then stored for future blending
The age of the cognac is calculated as that
of the youngest eau-de-vie used in the
blend
33. MANUFACTURING
The blend is usually of different ages and
(in the case of the larger and more
commercial producers) from different local
areas
This blending, or marriage, of different
eaux-de-vie is important to obtain a
complexity of flavors absent from an eau-
de-vie from a single distillery or vineyard
34. MANUFACTURING
Each cognac house has a master taster
(maître de chai), who is responsible for
creating this delicate blend of spirits, so
that the cognac produced by a company
today will taste almost exactly the same as
a cognac produced by that same company
50 years ago, or in 50 years time
35. GRADING OF COGNAC
A.C- two years old, aged in wood
V.S.- "Very Special", three years in wood. It
is often called "Three Star"
V.S.O.P.-"Very Superior Old Pale" minimum
aging is five years in wood. It is often
called, "Five Star”
36. GRADING OF COGNAC
X.O.-"Extra Old" minimum aging of six
years. X.Os include Napoleon and Vieille
Reserve.
Napoleon- at least 4 years old, mostly
much older than 4 years
37. GRADING OF COGNAC
Vintage- It must be stored in the cask until
the time it's bottled with the label showing
the vintage date on
Hors D‟age- It means too old to determine
the age
38. SERVICE OF COGNAC
Preferably Cognac should be served at
room temperature around 70F in a fine
snifter
39. SERVICE OF COGNAC
Brandy snifter allows to hold the stem
without warming the glass and evaporating
the brandy
40. SERVICE OF COGNAC
Brandies are enjoyed after dinner with
desserts such as chocolate or apple
desserts
45. ARMAGNAC
Armagnac is a grape brandy from the
Gascony region of Southwestern France
Armagnac is very different with regards to
its grapes, terroir, distillation, élevage,
blending, aromas, tastes and textures
46. ARMAGNAC
Armagnac is distilled from wine using
Grapes such as Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc,
Colombard and Baco 22A
These grapes ultimately give different
aromas and flavors, they offer different
weights and textures on the palate
47. HISTORY
Armagnac is the oldest brandy distilled in
France, and in the past was consumed for
its therapeutic benefits
In the 14th century, Prior Vital Du Four, a
Cardinal, claimed it had 40 virtues
48. REGION
The Armagnac region lies between the
Adour and Garonne rivers in the foothills of
the Pyrenees
The region was granted AOC status in
1936
49. REGION
The May 25, 1909 Falliere‟s decree
describes the three districts:
Bas-Armagnac
Armagnac-Ténarèze
Haut-Armagnac
Each of these areas is controlled by
separate appellation regulations
50. MANUFACTURING
Armagnac is traditionally distilled once,
which results initially in a less polished spirit
than Cognac
However, long aging in oak barrels (black
oak of Gascony) softens the taste and
causes the development of more complex
flavors and a brown color
51. MANUFACTURING
Aging in the barrel removes a part of the
alcohol and water by evaporation (known
as part des anges—"angels' tribute" or
"angels' share") and allows more complex
aromatic compounds to appear by
oxidation, which further improves the flavor,
usually done for three years
52. MANUFACTURING
When the alcohol reaches 40%, the
Armagnac can be transferred to large glass
bottles (called "Dame Jeanne") for storage
From then on, the Armagnac does not age
or develop further and can be bottled for
sale from the next year on
53. GRADING / CLASSIFICATION
Armagnac is sold under several different
classifications, mostly referring to the age of
the constituent brandies
When brandies of different ages have been
blended, the age on the bottle refers to the
youngest component.
54. GRADING / CLASSIFICATION
A three star, or "VS," Armagnac is a mix of
several Armagnacs that have seen at least
two years of aging in wood
A three star, or "VS," Armagnac is a mix of
several Armagnacs that have seen at least
two years of aging in wood
55. GRADING / CLASSIFICATION
For the VSOP, the aging is at least five
years
For XO, at least six.
Hors d'âge means the youngest component
in the blend is at least ten years old
56. GRADING / CLASSIFICATION
Older and better Armagnacs are often sold
as vintages, with the bottles containing
Armagnac from a single year, the year
being noted on the bottle
60. COMPARISION
ARMAGNAC
Armagnac is made
of grape varieties
ex-Ugni Blanc and
Folle Blanche
Uses continuous
distillation and the
brandy has an
alcoholic content of
54 to 60 % ABV
COGNAC
Cognac is made
largely from the Ugni
Blanc grapes
Cognac is made
using double
distillation in a pot
still
61. COMPARISION
ARMAGNAC
More fragrant called
„the dancing fire‟.
Armagnac is Aged
in a French oak
cask known as an
une pièce
Armagnac is often
aged over 10 years
(more than cognac)
COGNAC
Less fragrant
Cognac is aged
mainly in French
oak casks from
Limousin
Goal is to
standardize
releases
62. GRAPPA
Grappa is a fragrant grape-based Pomace
brandy of between 35% and 60% alcohol
by volume), of Italian origin
63. GRAPPA
Literally "grape stalk", most grappa is
made by distilling Pomace, grape residue
(mainly the skins, but also stems and
seeds) left over from winemaking after
pressing
64. GRAPPA
It was originally made to prevent waste by
using leftovers at the end of the wine
season
In Italy, grappa is primarily served as a
"digestivo" or after-dinner drinks
65. GRAPPA
Grappa may also be added to
espresso coffee to create a caffè
corretto meaning corrected coffee.
