Chateau de Caussade - Aquitaine, France. Built in the 15th century. The Cognac family line retained ownership most of the time until 1820. Changed hands many times after that. Unoccupied by 20th century. State purchased in 1930 and changed hands several more times. Apparently someone lives there now reddit.com/gallery/ne7z4a

My weird Cognac experience in France

Hadn’t thought about this in a while, but figured it was fitting for this sub, and was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience, or any insight into what happened.

I was in Paris a couple years ago for one day, and realized that I should get a bottle of Cognac and a bottle of Champagne to take home, and was really curious to see what a local would recommend. So I went to a liquor store and was happy to find a good selection of Champagne, but when we asked about Cognac, the guy behind the counter (he spoke fine English) seemed rather confused. He finally realized that we were just talking about brandy from the Cognac region, and spend several minutes looking around, finally finding one brand.

He had never tried it and said he honestly wasn’t sure how it was, but we bought it anyway because i didn’t have time to visit another shop. It turned out to be delicious, and I was sad that they only had 200ml bottles, but what really shocked me was that this liquor store in France had a much smaller selection of Cognac than any liquor store I’ve seen in the US.

Even weirder, the shop owner seemed essentially clueless about the term “Cognac”, which made me realize that it may be a far less popular drink in France than it is in the US, and might be the equivalent to Napa wine in the States — just a region that has good wine, but if you went to Texas and ask for a bottle of “Napa” people might be a bit confused.

Anybody had any similar experiences or have any insight on this?

TLDR: Looked for Cognac in a liquor store in France, and the was surprised when the shop owner barely knew what cognac was.

EDIT: finally figured out the brand — it was Courcel cognac.

What was the consequences of "phylloxera plague" (during the 19th century) for the cognac producers in France? Where can I find info (statistics, maybe) about how many productions were closed, and what the rest productions did?

TIL 97% of French Cognac is exported to the USA, where the majority of consumers are African-American. WWII soldiers stationed in France returned to America with a taste for it - and by the 50s, Cognac companies marketed directly to the Black middle and upper classes through Jet and Ebony magazine. slate.com/articles/life/d…

Import duty and fees for a bottle of cognac from France?

Hi! I want to buy a bottle of cognac, vintage 1970, for my husband's birthday. I couldn't find anything available online at LCBO, but I found a company in France that can ship to Canada. I wonder what my custom fees and import duty are going to be? Is there any form, a website where I can calculate them and get prepared? I would hate to pay more for importing the bottle than for the cognac itself. Thanks!
