520 1 _a"Cognac is widely considered the finest distilled spirit in the world. Its history has evolved against a fascinating backdrop of sin and seduction. Politics and intrigue between cognac-producing families has, over the centuries, weaved a rich tapestry of controversy. It has known tragedy and triumph, such as in the late 1870s when a bug called Phylloxera vastatrix ate its way through the vineyards of the cognac region, or when a number of extraordinary cases of fraud led to the stringent production controls that now guard the drink's good name." "Cognac: A Liquid History relates a passionate and contemporary story of a traditional spirit with an intriguing past. The book explores and unfolds, decade by decade, the history, secrets and untold tales surrounding the world's most noble tipple."--BOOK JACKET.
