Abstract: Over the past 40 years, domestic cognac production has repeatedly undergone serious tests. At first, it was an anti-alcohol campaign from 1985-1987, when cognac production decreased by 30% in one year. Then, after a short period of recovery and growth, the economic crisis of the 1990s came, as a result of which the cognac industry was practically destroyed by 1995. Production amounted to only about 12,5% of the 1989 maximum. Since 1998, the revival of the domestic cognac industry begins. The author's goal was to statistically analyze the long-term trends in the development of the cognac industry in Russia, which was achieved using statistical tools. Information sources such as the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations were used to compile the data set of the study. The main results of the study are the following: Viticulture, and therefore winemaking, was greatly affected by the state's struggle with alcohol consumption in the late 1980s, as a result of which the industry was «thrown back» in development and in the 1990-s began a new stage of development; the production of heavy alcohol and primarily vodka over the past 30 years has significantly decreased, while there is a rapid increase in beer production, cognac production over the period 1990-2020. increased by 38%; the leading position in the production of cognac in 2020 is occupied by the Stavropol Territory, in the bottling of the Moscow Region, but in the past 10 years, Perm and Kaliningrad manufacturers have taken a significant share of the domestic market; the largest market share is occupied by such companies as CJSC Stavropol VKZ – 16,8% of the market, JSC Bastion – 13,1%, LLC Vinno-Cognac Plant ALYaNS-1892 – 11,9%, unfortunately, high-quality cognac from JSC Derbent Cognac Plant is practically not represented on the Russian market; along with the increase in the production of domestic cognac at the interval of 2015-2020, there is an increase in its imports, which indicates the demand for this drink in the domestic market. The results of the study can be used in scientific and practical activities when considering the long-term dynamics of cognac production and consumption in Russia.
