Pineau des Charentes is a unique type of fortified wine made by combining freshly pressed grape juice with Cognac eau de vie that was distilled at least one year before blending.

The simplest, and arguably most delicious, way to enjoy Pineau des Charentes is to serve it over ice, topped with a healthy dose of club soda.
