brandy spirits
I don't know whether the big debate over the name cognac vs. brandy is still alive, but I see 152000 hits on Google for brandy spirits... (I seem to remember that the French won that debate so that the names "Cognac" and "Champagne" can only be used with products actually made in those regions).

: I see only 8000 in my Google but it still beats "cognac spirits" (349). :) Though, me personally, I prefer beer, so I'm not a specialist. ;-) ADDED: Just be patient and wait until it's Friday evening at your place. :)
