剛開始講課的時候, 講師有提到其實很多台灣人對軒尼詩品牌不是很了解, 甚至有人誤認軒尼詩是威士忌,  這堂課的用意在於教育消費者關於酒的不同和關於這個法國品牌的故事.
At the beginning of the class, the brand ambassador mentioned that majority of Taiwanese are not familiar with Hennessy. Even some people thinks Hennessy is Whisky. The event is to educate that Hennessy is Brandy and there are many stories behind this French brand.
