When Substituting Cognac with Port or Madeira Wine
Each one offers a bit of a different flavor. The Cognac has more of a bite, as it is a strong grain alcohol product. The others are wines made from grapes, therefore sweeter.

If you are making the pate’ for a holiday gathering you can use a cookie cutter to mold the shape of the pate before plating it.
