Fruit brandy is a delicious alcoholic beverage that typically includes brandies made from fruits other than grapes. Brandy itself is usually made from distilled wine, but its definition includes any fruits — even options like apples, pineapples and berries. Therefore, “fruit” brandy tends to exclude plain brandies made from grapes.

The most common fruit used to make brandy is the grape, and brandy can simply be thought of as distilled wine. Grape brandy is usually considered as “plain” brandy — not in a derogatory way, simply due to the fact that brandies can technically be made from any fruit. Fruit brandies can be distilled from fermented plums, apples, pears, cherries, pineapples or any other suitable fruit.
