There are different women
There are sparkling wines,

But no one remembered, unfortunately
At the station people are stunned.
And it has nothing to do with human citizens:
Everyone has their own children.
Looking at the helpless face,

Part one. A shame. My friend Ira went to negotiate about getting her idiot son into university. The Unified State Exam is great, but there were some other interviews that had to be taken, and the unresolved Soviet experience gave my mother the idea of ​​going to see the boss.

The rector was warned in advance about her visit, promised to help “on the relationship”, that is, the usual St. Petersburg mutual settlement: I’m sending your son to college, you’re Pyotr Sidorich’s nephew without a queue at the registry office at Angliyskaya, Pyotr Sidorich my uncle, again without a queue, at the cemetery . No one sees the money, but the body moves.
Nevertheless, we are intelligent people and always take a respectful bottle with us.
My friend is also a decent lady and came to the scientist with cognac in an incredibly pretentious box. The rector was in an excellent mood of body and spirit, invited the caring mother into the small office behind the large office, served a buffet table, galloped like a doe, joked and hoped abstractly. Ira worked through the visit, laughed and straightened her hair.
The scientist was delighted with the gift, said that it was his favorite brand, and lamented the “completely unnecessary” expenses. The guest was flirting, telling how she just went into the store and spent half an hour looking for this particular cognac. The professor suggested, without delay, to drink the offering, he fussily opened the box, continuing to crack like a bullfinch, took out an elegant bottle and froze.

Ira became like a plum and wanted one thing: to fall through the floor, the basement, the earth, magma, the core of the earth and further to the event horizon.
The bottle was, as optimists say, half full.
The gentleman was not at a loss and joked good-naturedly:
- And the rector of which university drank the first half?

Ira cried. She hasn't cried for a long time. Neither in the movies, nor from extreme fatigue, nor from toothache, but here I couldn’t stand it. It was very disappointing. I would like to note that my friend is a model of decency, especially in matters of gratitude. Yes, for some reason she lied that she went to the store, although she took a bottle at home in a drawer where boxes suitable for re-gifting were stored, but that was her only sin.

Seeing the woman's tears, the scientist rushed to calm the unfortunate mother, poured the damn cognac, drank it himself, apologized, poured it for Ira - she burst into tears even more, apologized again, calmed her down, offered water, said that all this was nothing and, they say, it happens. In general, a worthy person. Moreover, he assured the mother that he would do everything in his power for his son.

Ira asked permission to take the cognac with her so that it would not remind her of shame and, frightening the reception room with her tear-stained face, she left the temple of science. By the way, the purpose of the parish was fulfilled. But…
Just as grapes inevitably become wine, so a woman’s tears inevitably turn into rage.
Someone must be executed. Ira sent her husband and son an SMS with the following content:
“We are having a serious conversation. Everyone be home by eight.”

Part two. Court
I must say that my friend is the living embodiment of the classic aphorism: “In our house, dad decides everything, and who’s dad is decided by mom.” Moreover, her husband is by no means a koala, but his rights are still limited. But the children (13 and 16, I think) are completely drill, breathing according to a schedule. At the same time, Ira, of course, considers herself a gentle person with an excellent character and is very offended when she is called Kimchenyra.

At eight in the evening, Ira returned home from work in the company of cognac. Six anxious eyes greeted her in the hallway. Six trembling hands tried to help him take off his coat. Only the cat Dunya behaved like a man. She was the only one who was rewarded with a warm look and at least some word.

Then the trial took place without any preliminaries.
Ira, according to the old Russian tradition, simultaneously acted as a prosecutor, judge, lawyer, investigator, witness and executioner. Dunya is the court secretary. The husband, son and son are the accused.

At the beginning of the proceedings, the mother reported the absolute senselessness of the existence of all three men in HER house. She drags everything on, no one does a damn thing or thinks about anything. All are absolute egoists and helpless slackers. By the way, Irina’s husband is a well-known doctor and is not in poverty at all. But this is just for reference.

The father of the family, accustomed to the status of “eternally guilty,” calmly listened to the prelude and asked:
- Ir, what happened?
- What happened?!

Ira took out a bottle and, piercing the air with her gaze, asked:
- Who did it?!
What followed was a tale of the morning's shame.

Mom, am I going to NN University now??? - the hero of the occasion stammered in surprise. He, as always, however, was the last to know about plans for his future.
- Yes, you do! - Ira barked. “If you, stupid thing, hand over anything!”

The guy had another dream, but there was no point in objecting now, and he became even more sad.

So, who drank the cognac?
- I didn’t drink, can I go? - the younger one breathed out a sigh of relief.
- Maybe friends came to see my brother on Saturday, huh? - Malyuta Skuratov in a skirt knew who to ask and about what. On weekends, the children were left at home alone.

The room smelled of potential betrayal.

The dad who told me this story said that at that moment he was especially tense, worrying whether he had raised a worthy son. On weekends, there was naturally a party at home. He diagnosed it by the cigarette butts on the balcony.
The younger one was silent.
One day, his brother, in the company of friends, tied his legs, put him on a bust of Lermontov, if I’m not mistaken, in the Alexander Garden, and arranged a photo shoot. Another time, the same company threw a condom filled with water from the window onto the guy’s head... And these were still good pranks.

I ask what happened at home over the weekend? -The garrote of my mother’s gaze inevitably tightened.
The younger one was silent.
Twice his replacement shoes were glued together by Moment and once his ski poles were taken away right on the mountain.

Are you deaf?!
- I'm trying to remember.

The elder could not stand it:
- Yes, friends came to see me, but honestly, we didn’t touch the cognac!
- Why are you lying?! - The Eye of Sauron has changed the object of incineration.
- We don’t drink cognac! - the defendant falsetitated. - How can you even drink it...

The doctor calmed down, he raised good children.
But Ira was ready to explode into a billion pieces. An unauthorized party and a drinking schoolboy son were added to the problem of drinking cognac.

I hope you don't suspect me? “I would dilute it with tea so as not to leave evidence,” the experienced head of the family grinned. The younger one probably wrote down his words later. “And Valera gave him cognac for the New Year, let me call him.”

Valera was no less upset by the cognac question than Ira:
- So this is me for YOU! gave... My wife and I have been suffering for a whole week now. She then asks: “Where is my cognac?” I say: “What do you mean yours??? I gave it to someone for New Year, but what? It was in the box!” She hums: “I drink it a little in the evening.” I screamed: “Why didn’t you take it out of the box, you fool!?” And now the village, guess what, says: “The box is so beautiful, I couldn’t throw it away.” Forgive me for God's sake, new from me.

The doctor told Ira about this. In response, she voiced the universal female position:
“Your friends are idiots, their wives are fools, and you, idiot, couldn’t check what they were giving you.”

The thought that she herself had not checked what she was giving did not occur to her.

But she's a girl, she can do anything.

P.S. But the older brother, they say, respected the younger one. This is what the story is about.

Truly noble. Those who know how to drink it are also considered noble. Yes, yes, this requires special abilities to feel every note of this delicious drink.

Cognac is usually given as a token of gratitude. And in general, of all alcoholic drinks this is the most common gift.

Cognac has been revered at all times. That’s why there are so many sayings about him, some of which we will give you:

1. “Cognac - the liquor of the gods” (V. Hugo)

And you can’t argue with Victor Hugo. Fortunately, this liqueur is available to us mere mortals.

2. Every cognac is, without a doubt, brandy, but far from it every brandy- cognac. (French proverb)

Perhaps this is worth remembering so as not to be branded a fool and ignoramus.

3. “It’s easy to make wonderful cognac. All you need for this is a great-grandfather, grandfather and father who devoted their whole lives to this” (Jean-Paul Camus)

Indeed, behind every cognac there are great dynasties. Only such cognacs are wildly popular all over the world. And those who don’t have a father, grandfather or great-grandfather who devoted their entire lives to cognac should not despair: after all, we can try everything that someone else’s “cognac” relatives once created. Reaping the benefits is not always a bad thing, believe me!

4. Good cognac is like a woman. Don't try to take it by storm. Caress it, warm it in your hands before you put your lips on it. (Winston Churchill)


Well, here is the question about how to drink cognac correctly. So, if you keep forgetting about this, then at least remember the comparison that Churchill made. He really knows a lot! Both in cognac and in women!

5. By the way, here is another quote from him:

Never be late for dinner, smoke Havana cigars and drink armenian cognac. 6. Smart people believe that God created man only as an intermediate link between himself and the height of perfection - a glass of cognac and a slice of lemon. (Joseph Brodsky) 7. I wonder how forty-year-old cognac compares with lightly salted cucumber? They will probably experience mutual awkwardness. (Quote from the work “Night Watch” by Sergei Lukyanenko)


8. But who, except a sailor, would drink rum when there is cognac or whiskey at hand? (Arthur Conan Doyle) 9. Once you have a drink with the devil, after another glass of cognac you will be able to persuade him not to be angry. (Thomas Keneally) 10. She said that she hates everything her parents like, with the exception of cognac. (Stephen Chbosky)

And to make sure that all the above quotes are true, it’s time to buy cognac at the WineStreet store. Here it is for every taste, but always excellent.
