According to biblical legends, Noah's Ark moored to Ararat during the time of the "flood." The pigeon, set off in search of uncovered lands, returned to Noah with a sprig of olive. When the water subsided, he came down from the mountains, becoming lower living in the valley lands. And at once with his sons he began to grow vines. So humanity first learned the taste of a wine drink.
The oldest manuscripts and legends inevitably testify that viticulture was "traded" here since ancient times. And the wines were obtained high-quality, seasoned, very diverse in taste. Therefore, Armenia is a region with ancient traditions: the vine has been cultivated here for more than one millennium, and the “Arine” cognac is vivid evidence of this. Although he was born not so long ago, but the ideas embedded in the brand, the deepest, embodying the great past of the people.
The warmth and light of the Arine drink
This drink is really saturated with warmth and light. And the ripe grapes of Ararat give it a special pleasantness in taste, an amber glow in appearance, a viscous texture and a rich aftertaste, making this alcohol the best choice.
Arine is a relatively new brand that was recently released (2008). The Yerevan Brandy Factory has chosen its name in the exact way: the deepest respect for its identity is hidden here. And it is no coincidence: “Arina” cognac was given a name in honor of the oldest village located in Arin-berd, hills, where, according to legend, the very first capital, Irpuni, was located.
Local residents believe that initially the first megalopolis of Armenia grew up on these hills, where the head of the state of Urarta Argishti the First laid the Erebuni fortress. Therefore, the Armenians have been leading their history since time immemorial. Archaeologists who conducted surveys at this site found there and vessels for winemaking. Therefore, we can say this: cognac "Arine" leads its chronicle from here. And she owes it to the ancestors who inhabited the area around the future of Yerevan.
Yerevan Brandy Factory
Arine is produced at the facility. It was built in the last century and has since been producing cognac spirits. Their factory has a rich collection, and when ultramodern equipment was installed here, the brandy of the factory could even compete with the "French" themselves. The company is more than 100 years old; over this period, it has earned the trust of connoisseurs of a noble drink, and not only in its native land, but also in Ukraine, Russia, and united Europe.
A wealth of taste and aesthetics
The main wealth of the plant is its long-term quenched alcohol fund, which is distinguished by an incomparable balanced taste. And the point here is the uniqueness of the place, the Ararat valley itself, in which grape varieties are grown. This is a mountainous region, and thanks to this, the phylloxera invasion raging in Europe was not affected by the vineyards.
The second, although in the valley there are hottest climatic conditions similar to subtropical, summers are short here and winemakers are used to wrapping up vines. Thanks to this care, the clusters gain optimal sweetness with a low acidity.
And yet, the soils in these territories are very diverse, number up to thirty varieties, which greatly affects the variety of the flavor palette of the final product - cognac. This is probably why Arine cognac has a balanced chocolate, fruity taste. It is enhanced by honey notes and floral aromas, giving the drink additional sophistication.

This is an exquisite brandy of Armenia, which was created, according to classical French technologies, from the highest quality alcohols aged in oak barrels for at least five years.

The five-star Arine cognac captivates true connoisseurs with an exquisite, delicate, harmonious aroma, enveloping mild taste and aftertaste, which reveals hints of honey and spices, oak and fruit, dark chocolate.
