The distinctive taste of the drink is achieved after it is fermented in charred white oak wood. The aging process of whiskey stops once it is bottled from the casks. Although brandy can be made from any fruit but in order to achieve higher acidity it is traditionally made from early grapes. Unlike whiskey, brandy is aged either in wooden barrels or through caramel coloring. Infused with roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs, spices and fortified by adding brandy, vermouth is actually an aromatized wine.
There are generally two types of vermouth- sweet and dry. This drink is famous as an ingredient in Martini. Technically a type of brandy but cognac deserves a special mention because this particular drink can only be made if certain requirements are met. Barley, water, hops and yeast are the four magic ingredients that are required for making beer. The sugar from the barley are extracted and is converted to alcohol by the yeast. Other grains like maize, rice, rye and wheat are also used in making beer.
The most special feature about port wine is its sweet taste.
