Brandy can be categorized into six categories with different origins and raw materials: Cognac, Almagneque, French brandy, brandy from other countries, grape pomace brandy, fruit brandy and so on.

Many countries in the world produce brandy, such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United States and so on, but the brandy produced in France is of the best quality, and the French brandy is the best in the two regions of Cognac and Almagneque, of which the quality of Cognac is recognized by the whole world and is the most prestigious.

Cognac: The Cognac region of France, known for its world-renowned quality brandy, has seen a resurgence in recent years, partly due to its high-profile collaboration with American rap and its overall popularity among African-American communities, but also due to its enthusiastic acceptance by the rapidly expanding Asian market, especially China.

Almagneque: Almagneque is divided into three regions, Upper, Ténaréz and Lower, and the world's opinion of the products produced in these three regions is that Lower Almagneque is the highest, Upper Almagneque the lowest, and Ténaréz in the middle. The best product of the Lower Almagneque, Grande, ripens faster and is lighter in flavor. Previously, most of the grapes used to make Almagneque were Folle Blanche, but after the Second World War, many of them were converted to Saint-Emilion. Due to the high sand content of the soil here, the same Saint-Emilion variety yields grapes with characteristics very different from those of Cognac.

French brandy: Brandy 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.

Grape pomace brandy: Pomace brandy (Grappa in Italy and Marc in France) is a grape-based wine. Grappa, for example, has an abv (volume concentration) between 40% and 60% and is believed to have originated in northern Italy. It is made using pomace distillation, which is the process of pressing out the pomace of the grapes (mainly the skins, but also some stalks and seeds) during the production of the wine. Originally, this type of wine was created to avoid waste and to make the most of the residue before the end of the season. Soon, however, they became a specialty item, manufactured in large quantities and sold worldwide.

Fruit brandy: Fruit brandy, originally a generic term for brandy made from a variety of fruits, including grapes and apples, now generally refers to brandy made from fruits other than grapes. Brandies made from fruits such as apples, strawberries, cherries, peaches and apricots are the most common. You can usually taste a hint of the fruit used in the making of the fruit brandy.
