Brandy is a spirit produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks. Others are coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of ageing, and some are produced using a combination of both ageing and colouring. Varieties of wine brandy can be found across the wine making world. Among the most renowned are Cognac and Armagnac from southwestern France.
