Moldova Divin (aka 'Cognac')

[Rodent]

anybody have any experience with Divin, and how to make it?

I was recently in Paris where our waitstaff shared some homebrew 'Cognac' (their term for it) their parents (immigrants from Moldova) make. Definitely not a fine French Cognac by any means, but wonderfully great in its own unique way.

I'd love to learn more on the ingredients and process used to make this, purely from a curiosity perspective of discovering how good things are made, should anybody have insights.

thanks for the insights!

Had some once. It is a delicious brandy made in the same way as cognac from what I remember.

Double distilled wine which is then long aged on used oak.

I would go for a pot still and use a redwine or mixed Base and see what you come up with
