Cognac (drink)
Cognac ( , also , ) is a variety of brandy named after the commune of Cognac, France. It is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. Cognac production falls under French appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. Among the specified grapes, Ugni blanc, known locally as Saint-Émilion, is most widely used. The brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. Cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer "on the wood" than the minimum legal requirement. Production process Cognac is a type of brandy, and after the distillation and during the aging process, is also called ''eau de vie''. It is produced by twice distilling grapes produced in any of the designated growing regions. G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Godet (sewing)
A godet ( or ) is an extra piece of fabric in the shape of a circular sector which is set into a garment, usually a dress or skirt. The addition of a godet causes the article of clothing in question to flare, thus adding width and volume. The most popular use of godets is in petticoats. Adding a godet to a piece of clothing also gives the wearer a wider range of motion. A “flutter of godets” is mentioned during the fashion show scene of the film “The Great Muppet Caper”. Kermit the Frog, in fact, claims to have been “taken aback” by them. See also *Gore (fabrics) *Gusset *Pleat A pleat (plait in older English) is a type of fold formed by doubling fabric back upon itself and securing it in place.
