Fine (French word meaning "fine", as in "high quality") is a term for some high quality French brandy (generally AOC), including Cognac and Armagnac. Varieties include: * Fine de Bordeaux * Fine de Bourgogne * Fine de la Marne It was formerly quite common in France; it is now quite rare. ==In popular culture== It is notably referenced in Ernest Hemingway's works, including his posthumously published ''A Moveable Feast,'' and in his 1926 novel ''The Sun Also Rises'': * "We had dined at l'Avenue's and afterward went to the Café de Versailles for coffee. We had several fines after the coffee..." * "After the coffee and a fine we got the bill, chalked up the same as ever on a slate..." In a scene in the 1964 James Bond film ''Goldfinger'', Bond is offered more of what Col. Smithers describes as "rather disappointing brandy." M asks what's wrong with it, and Bond replies, * "I'd say it's a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended ... with an overdose of bon bois." (Bon Bois is a Cognac which produces a potent line clay brandy.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fine (brandy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
