Cognac is brandy made in the valley of Cognac from fermented champange
grapes.
OTOH, Napolean is also made from fermented champagne grapes but not in the
valley oif Cognac.
So you see, to be called Cognac it must be made in the valley of Cognac.
Brandy, in general is usually made from fermented grapes but other brandies
such as those made from apples or plums also exist.
