I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brandy' is the definition.
(Cognac is an example)

'swindle nets ps1000 case of armagnac' is the wordplay.
'swindle' becomes 'con' (synonyms).
'nets' indicates putting letters inside.
'psg000' becomes 'g' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (outsides of).
'armagnac' with its centre taken out is 'ac'.
'con' enclosing 'g' is 'cogn'.
'cogn'+'ac'='COGNAC'
