Rules for Proper Cognac Serving Serve your cognac in a tulip-shaped glass rather than a large snifter to concentrate its delicate aromas toward your nose. Maintain a room temperature between 18°C and 21°C, avoiding excessive heating. Take slow sips to fully appreciate the lingering finish. Order your bottle on arabianbar.shop today.
