Master winner Divin Aurvin 7 was “well made, complex and sophisticated”, with flavours of “caramel, tannins, and a nice resin‐like quality”. It was described as a “great sipping brandy”. Brandy a fost creat pentru prima dată în secolul al XV-lea. Negustorii care transportau sare de vânzare din Franța în Olanda au decis să își extindă gama de produse și să vândă vin. După mai multe încercări, s-au confruntat cu o problemă gravă - vinul s-a stricat înainte de a putea fi vândut. Francezii întreprinzători au decis să distileze băutura și astfel să prelungească termenul de valabilitate. Numele în sine este tradus din franceză - „vin ars”. De atunci, brandy a devenit incredibil de popular. Acum este o băutură de elită. Brandies from France and Germany staved off tariffs earlier this year, a hopeful sign for a traditional category that promises great things in the future thanks to dedicated producers.
