OX is brandy. Brandy is the transliteration of English Brandy. It is a wine made from fruits through fermentation and distillation. Usually, what we call Brandy specifically refers to wine made from grapes through fermentation and distillation. For wines made with other fruits as raw materials through the same method, the name of the fruit raw material is often added in front of the brandy to distinguish its type. For example, brandy made from cherries is called Cherry Brandy, and brandy made from apples is called Apple Brandy. The word "brandy" is a term equivalent to the Chinese "shochu".
The term brandy originally came from the Dutch Brandewijn, which means "burnable wine". In a narrow sense, it refers to the high alcohol obtained by distillation after fermentation of grapes, and then stored in oak barrels. Brandy is a kind of distilled liquor, which is brewed from fruits through fermentation, distillation and storage. Distilled liquor made from grapes is called grape brandy. Brandy often refers to grape brandy. Brandy made from other fruit raw materials should be added with the name of the fruit, such as apple brandy, cherry brandy, etc., but their popularity is far less than the former.
The brandy we are talking about now is a homophony of the English Brandy, which means "water of life" and is often called the "soul of wine". There are many countries in the world that produce brandy, but the brandy produced in France is the most famous. Among the brandies produced in France, those produced in the Cognac region are the most beautiful, followed by those produced in the Armagnac (Armangnac) region. In addition to French brandy, other countries rich in wine, such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, the United States, Peru, Germany, South Africa, Greece and other countries, also produce a certain amount of brandy of different styles. The brandy produced in the CIS countries is also of excellent quality.

The company was founded in 1724 and is a famous brewing company with a long history. The founder is Remy 6?1 Martin. The company uses grapes from the Champagne and Champagne regions as raw materials and uses traditional small stills for distillation. The quality is excellent, so it was given the special honorary name Fine Champagne Cognac (Fine Champagne Cognac) by the French government. The company's Napoleon does not appear as a brandy, but as a trademark, with a strong taste. The "Remy Martain Special" is a soft, rich blend of wines aged for more than six years. "Remy Martain Club" has a light and refreshing scent. "XO" (Exceptionally Aged) has a rich and aromatic character. In addition, there is "Louis XIII", a high-quality representative of Cognac, which is brewed with alcohol stored between 275 and 75 years ago. It takes three generations of winemakers to make a bottle of wine. The raw materials of the wine are the finest grapes from the "Grand Champagne", the best grape-producing area in France; and the bottle of "Louis XIII" is a purely handmade crystal bottle. It is said that "there are absolutely no two completely perfect bottles in the world." The same Louis XIII bottle."
