One talks about it first, your highness!

Do you know what you are talking about?

Edward VII, at the time when he was still The Prince of Wales, was subject to a protest when he was about to swallow the old cognac that had just been served to him:

- “Your highness! such a nectar! One must first let the amber blonds play around in the crystal.
- Then one breathes it gently in, religiously.

Then at last…

- One drinks it!
- No your highness, not yet… one talks about it!”

Champagne is not just sparkling wine, neither is Cognac just brandy – as well as espresso isn’t simply coffee!
