The Cognac Act

The Cognac Act is a legal regulation that protects the authenticity and quality of Cognac, a type of brandy made from specific grapes grown in the Cognac region of France. It sets strict standards for production, such as location, ingredients, distillation process, and aging time. These rules help preserve Cognac’s tradition and distinguish genuine products from counterfeit or lower-quality versions. Essentially, the Act ensures that when consumers buy Cognac, they are getting a genuine, high-quality product that meets established standards.
