Cognac takes edge off winter Chicago Sun-Times | February 22, 1990| | Copyright (null) Chicago Sun-Times. Provided by ProQuest LLC. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Winter is the perfect season for discovering that most warming elixir - Cognac. Sure Cognac is both expensive and "high octane," but a little goes a long way. Sipping just a tiny portion, less than an ounce, can consume a chilly hour or two, especially when the Cognac is accompanied by a good book or good conversation.

Cognac is made only in the region of Cognac in southwest France. Cognac is doubled-distilled brandy, a blend of wines juxtaposed to create each Cognac firm's distinct style. Only spirits produced in the 235,000 acres surrounding Cognac may bear the Cognac designation.
