Courvoisier
Napoleon's preferred cognac
Courvoisier is a brand of cognac, the French brandy from the Cognac region.
The name has become familiar beyond wine connoisseurs through hip-hop lyrics, where it signals luxury and celebration: Pass the Courvoisier.
Like Hennessy and Rémy Martin, it's often shortened in casual speech: Let's get some Courvo.
