In fact I drank more French wine- which was ok- but not as good as Calif wine, and Scotch than beer. During our stay in Cognac- I asked the inn keeper which cognac he drank- and he said the small private labels- not the big commercial brands. With his comments in mind, I purchased a bottle of Cognac Jacques Denis Extra Grande Champagne which is 25 years old for 60 Euros from a veritable cognac supermarket in downtown Cognac called " La Cognatheque". I look forward to sampling it. We also had a very fine comprehensive tour at Martell, established in 1715. It looked like they know what they are doing. A comment made was that the French people only drink 5% of the cognac production. I was surprised by that low number.
