History
Vanilla notes in the cognac complement the pineapple juice, while the wine's acidity balances the rich fruity sweetness.
This drink is named not for the Universal Serial Bus, but for the grape varieties Ugni and Sauvignon Blanc. Ugni Blanc is the predominant grape in Cognac, and Sauvignon Blanc wine complements this drink well, though Chardonnay and other grape varieties are also suitable.
