Brandy is a distilled spirit and is not a red or white wine.
Brandy is a very distinctive distilled spirit with a very characteristic aroma, taste and color. It does not belong to red or white wine, but is a separate type of alcohol that is widely used in a variety of culinary and social settings. It is made from wine that has been distilled, and as such its color can be clear or cavernous pale yellow, amber or deep gold.
The production method of brandy is relatively complex. The first step is to select wine as the raw material, usually using white grape varieties from French regions. The wine is then heated and distilled so that the alcohol is separated out, forming a kind of primary distilled wine. Next, the primary wine is distilled again to obtain a higher concentration of alcohol, which is called redistilled wine. Redistilled wine needs to be aged for a long time in oak barrels in order to absorb the aromas and flavors of the oak and eventually develop the unique flavor of brandy.
