Hennessy is a brand of French cognac.
Cognac is a type of brandy made by distilling wine, and then aging the resulting spirit (the French call it eau de vie) in wood barrels.
Cognac is made mostly from grapes called ugni blanc. Ugni blanc gives us acidic wine that is low in alcohol – between 7.5 and 10.5%. So this is used to only create cognac, not to drink it.
There are other varieties that are used named folle blanche and colombard. But about 98% of cognac is ugni blanc.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 51 percent of adults over 18 are regular drinkers, consuming at least 12 drinks in the past year. While plenty of people have no problem tipping back a few, many may not know how to stay safe and healthy while imbibing.
