yarb commented on the word Nantz
"We derive our name of Brandy from the Dutch brand-wijn, or the German brannt-wein, that is, burnt or distilled wine; and in the 17th and 18th centuries it was generally spelt, and spoken of as brandy wine. But, also, in those centuries was it known by the name of "Nantz," from the town (Nantes, the capital of the Loire Inferieure) whence it came. But this name was changed early last century, when the trade left Nantes, and got into the Charente district, of which Cognac was the centre; so what used to be "right good Nantz' of the old smuggling days, turned into the delicate, many-starred "Cognac" of our times."
— James Mew, Drinks of the World, quoted here.
