Brandy, originally from Dutch Brandewijn, means "burnt wine". In a narrow sense, it refers to the high alcohol obtained by distillation after grape fermentation and then stored in oak barrels.
Brandy is a kind of distilled liquor, which is made from fruit by fermentation, distillation and storage. Distilled wine with grapes as raw materials is called grape brandy, and the brandy often mentioned refers to grape brandy. When brandy is made from other fruit materials, the name of the fruit, such as calvados and cherry brandy, should be added.

Precautions for drinking
The rate at which the liver decomposes alcohol is about 10 ml per hour. The amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in wine can be calculated by the degree indicated on the label of the wine bottle. If 250 ml of wine with alcohol content of 16% is used, 250 ml× 0.16 = 40 ml, then the amount of alcohol is 40 ml.
If a person drinks it in 4 hours, the average alcohol intake per hour is 10 ml, which is just in line with the processing speed of the liver. Drinking at this speed can minimize the burden of alcohol on the liver.
