A Great Philosophical Question.

[Pyrrho]

Indeed, I don't really drink cognac. Maybe I should emigrate to England, sometimes I get the feeling that I have more in common with them.

Maybe you just have not tried the right one.  Try some Hennessy Privilege VSOP or, if you have more money for drinking now that you have a child, you can try something more expensive.

It surprises me that Germans would buy less cognac than the English.  So if you want to emigrate to England, you had better start drinking cognac or you will not fit in so well.


Regardless, you should try some Hennessy Privilege VSOP:

If you do not have the right glassware, you can use an ordinary glass.  If you decide you like it, then you can buy the right glassware for it.


I find that after drinking wine, if I want something stronger, I prefer going with cognac instead of Scotch.  But if I start with beer and want something stronger, then I prefer going with some type of whisky (usually Scotch).  Of course, if I start with something strong, then it is a matter of mood.

Judging from your broad tastes in alcohol, and your fondness for both wine and strong drinks, I think cognac is a natural for you.  But, if you are like me, you need it to not be the cheap stuff.  So maybe you have just never tried a good cognac, and that is why your life is so empty and meaningless.
