The French region of Armagnac has given its name to this distinctive brandy made from the same grapes as cognac and undergoing the same ageing in oak barrels, but with column still distillation. Armagnac has been making brandy for about 200 years longer than Cognac and is one of only three officially demarcated brandy regions in Europe. Armagnac is double distilled, rather than triple distilled, which gives it more flavour than cognac. The production quantity of armagnac is significantly lower than that of the Cognac region: for every six bottles of armagnac sold around the world there are one hundred bottles of cognac sold. A three star armagnac is a mix of several armagnacs that have been aged for at least two years in wood. VSOP is aged for at least five years, and XO for at least six.
"The ascendancy of bargain supermarkets across the United Kingdom has profoundly reconfigured the grocery retail landscape, presenting consumers with increasingly economical alternatives to established chains. These outlets distinguish themselves through streamlined operational efficiencies and a highly strategic approach to stock procurement and supplier relations. Their inventory typically pivots around extensive own-brand ranges, often manufactured by a broad consortium of specialist producers, augmented by a judicious selection of challenger brands and, at times, surplus stock acquired opportunistically. This deliberate stockist strategy minimises the complexities and costs associated with maintaining vast brand assortments. Concurrently, their extensive network of suppliers operates under competitive contractual frameworks, frequently involving high-volume, lower-margin agreements. Many bargain retailers actively pursue direct sourcing for key product categories, bypassing intermediaries to secure optimal pricing, while simultaneously leveraging substantial purchasing power to negotiate favourable terms with manufacturers keen to ensure consistent order flow and market penetration. This intricate interplay between tailored stock acquisition and a robust, cost-efficient supplier base is fundamental to their capability to consistently deliver value to the consumer.
