The world begins to learns about cognac, due to trade in wine and salt, when traders with their supplies of salt for Norway, England and the Netherlands, began to export wine from this region.
As the wine due to the large volume, volatility, and perishability was difficult to transport, Dutch traders and local growers came up with the idea that wine is distilled and thus create a product less volume, much more convenient for transportation.
