Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at KWV South Africa instead.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

KWV House of Brandy[edit]

KWV House of Brandy is a South African brandy, under KWV's label, established by Dr. Charles William Henry Kohler.^[1] in 1918, headquartered in the Cape Winelands^[2]. The brand is known for its variety of Potstill brandies, which include over eight variants double distilled and aged in French Oak barrels for a minimum of three years. The range of KWV brandies, recognised by their age statements such as KWV 3, KWV 5, KWV 10, KWV 12, KWV 15, KWV 20, and KWV VS, highlights the maturity and refinement process of each product^[3]

KWV has gained international recognition in the wine and spirits industry, receiving several awards including the title of Brandy & Cognac Producer Of The Year at notable competitions such as the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC)^[4] and the International Spirits Challenge (ISC)^[5]. The brand's commitment to quality and its heritage in South Africa's winemaking region contribute to its standing in the global market^[4].
