    What's the difference between brandy and cognac, they taste the same to me?

    		kerry8888 says:

    The difference between Cognac and brandy is that brandy is named after the Dutch term 'brandjiwin': It defines a spirit distilled from wine or fermented juice and aged for at least six months in oak casks. Technically, therefore, all Cognacs are brandies. But while the brandy may be made anywhere in the world, Cognac can only be produced in the Cognac region.

    I’ve long heard that Coke tastes different now compared to how it tasted in the 1970s. I’m not referring to its old original recipe using cocaine, also not referring to the 1986 New Coke Vs. classic Coke fiasco, but rather the rumor that a taste difference occurred when they switched from using sugar to corn syrup. When did this switch happen? Is/was the taste difference discernable?
