Yes. Cognac is a subclass of brandy. Specifically, only brandies made from
grapes grown in Cognac, France can be called Cognacs. These, in turn, are
divided into seven categories:
grande champagne
petite champagne
borderies
fins bois
bons bois
bois ordinaires
bois a terroir
So, pour yourself a hefty measure in a snifter. Hold it with your palm
resting on the bottom of the glass. It looks stupid, but the heat from your
hand warms the cognac, releasing its aromas, which I really like.
