[8D] No...they drink marc. Or if they can get it, absinthe (the REAL stuff with the poisonous wormwood added, not the arriviste bar swill loved by 20 somethings. Armangac is for those with really refined palates, or the really pretentious. OH, and on reading more, Armangac is a brandy, like cognac, and as Benji and Alumbrado correctly said, it is made of grapes grown in a region of France known as...duh..Armangac (and bas Armangac). The key is that a good Armangac is single run through the pot still, and cognac is double run, making cognac smoother, but also much more dull. Dollar for dollar, a good armangac will outperform a good congac, until you get to the high high ends of the spirits. E. (edited to add all that pedantic shit about French booze.)
