Editing Brandy (section)

===Serving===
Brandy is traditionally served at room temperature ([[Bartending_terminology#Neat|neat]]) from a [[snifter]], a [[wine glass]] or a [[beer glassware#Tulip glass|tulip glass]]. When drunk at room temperature, it is often slightly warmed by holding the glass cupped in the palm or by gentle heating. Excessive heating of brandy may cause the alcohol vapour to become too strong, causing its aroma to become overpowering. Brandy-drinkers who like their brandy warmed may ask for the glass to be heated before the brandy is poured.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/1998/03/14/feat_side1.html |title=Cognac Q&A |work=Forbes magazine |date=14 March 1998 |author=Charles Dubow |access-date=25 August 2017 |archive-date=29 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729115322/https://www.forbes.com/1998/03/14/feat_side1.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
