Brandy comes from the Dutch word “brandewijn”, which means “burnt wine”. Here are some of the health benefits of brandy (source: lybrate article):
- Boosts immune system
- Improves heart health
- Helps in inducing sleep
Also brandy provides you with a good amount of antioxidants (source: The List article)
In case you like having a drink every evening, you may consider brandy. Drink moderately, of course.

@cedled This may be ironic, as I vaguely remember learning that brandy was not meant for direct consumption, but was distilled from wine (thus “burnt wine”) to allow for more efficient shipping, and supposed to be watered down to pass for wine at the destination. But then of course sailors discovered it can be drunk as is!
