Maybe the baseline costs are higher because cognac is made from grapes...
You know, the grapes versus grain makes some sense. Also, the cheap Scotch I have right now that is okay is from Islay. It is quite acceptable. However, the better Scotch I have at present is from Kirkwall.
Do you find you feel the same way about cognac? That to be good, it is more costly than a satisfactory Scotch? (If you tell us that you do not drink cognac, we will all know you are not really German. Germans fought two world wars because they like French things and wanted to go to Paris. That is why the EU was formed, to keep Germany from starting WW III. This way, you know you can go to Paris when you want, and have easy access to French things.)
Maybe I should have made a poll...
