Cognac is really noble drink. However today nobody is insured from acquisition of much less quality product given for the original. In order to avoid substitution, upon purchase of cognac it is necessary to be guided by several basic rules.
Instruction
1. To distinguish the real cognac from a fake, pay attention first of all to the drink price. Good cognac will never be inexpensive. "The matured cognac" at low price is the first occasion to doubt its quality.
2. Study the label. First of all, look narrowly at its appearance. The label has to be accurately, is symmetrically pasted on a bottle. Run over it fingers (to the touch the signature label reminds the banknote). Now study contents of the label on which information on endurance term, the brand, the producer, etc. has to contain.
3. Slowly turn a bottle upside down and pay attention to how drink flows down. If on glass traces from the liquid which is flowing down on it are noticeable or one dense drop falls from a bottom of a bottle - means, cognac rather qualitative. The longer cognac flows down, the it is more senior.
4. Pay attention to vials of air which will spread up as soon as you turn a bottle with cognac. If at first appear large and only then small bubbles - you can not doubt quality of drink.
5. Drip a little cognac in a glass and twist it that liquid evenly spread on walls. Then remove excess moisture, having stirred up a glass, and bring it to a nose. The real cognac includes a surprising variety of smells. Inhaling fumes, you will feel almost inaudible transitions of the aromas replacing each other. Than cognac - the richer them a combination is more senior.
6. Pour cognac in a glass ("tulip") and touch with a finger a vessel wall (from outer side) a little lower than the level of drink. Then look at a print through the filled glass. If you see an accurate trace, so in your glass the real cognac without extraneous impurities.
