Liquor of the Gods

When old people drank cognac to make their blood pressure stable and to remember their youth it becomes understandable why cognac is the universal drink. 'Liquor of the Gods' said Victor Hugo once about the cognac. And in such way he said everything that can be said about the special qualities of this drink. And the gods were those who made the special form for the cognac glass that helps to warm the cognac with the help of arm. And the form of the glass reminds the form of the woods in which the cognac passed its ripening.

Since it became the drink of great prestige people from all parts of the world thought it to be the duty to serve cognac on celebrations and during important events that took place in their houses when they received important guests.

But in general cognac has the tradition to be drunk at home with the family or close friends. The problem is that it is impossible to taste the bouquet of this drink hurrying somewhere. If you really want to feel its essence, you'll need silence and peace. And from this tradition the typical image of the old man, who is sitting in the rocking chair with rug and holds the cigar in one arm and the glass of cognac in another one comes from.

The good cognac costs a lot and sometimes it may reach the price with several zeroes in the end. That makes the good cognacs unavailable for the ordinary people that have no possibility to buy it. But there are also budget kinds of cognac made especially for people who can't effort paying several thousands euros for one bottle.
