Answer 1

So you take grapes and press them into a mush, mix it with water and with the help of a little bacteria called yeast, the glucose (sugar) from the grapes get turnef into alcohol.
This is how wine is made.

Now if you let the yeast bacteria do their job (called fermenting) for as long as possible, they will eventually have „burned“ all the sugar into alcohol and the wine gets stronger.

Now you want this to be even stronger so you distill the cognac, and which means you heat it to a temperature where water and alcohol evaporate, you catch these evaporations then and viola you have cognac.
