Drinking a glass of Cognac after dinner seems to be a symbol of wealth, riches and sophistication. Much like Champagne has. This page gives you more information on Cognac, how it’s made and where is comes from.

General cognac links
VS stands for “Very Special”: only eaux-de-vie at least two years old can be used to make a VS cognac.
VS, VSOP and XO refer to the age and quality of the cognac. Each corresponds to how long the brandy has been aged in oak barrels.
VSOP stands for “Very Superior Old Pale”: VSOP cognacs are created from eaux-de-vie aged for at least four years.
XO stands for “Extra Old”: XO cognacs are made only from eaux-de-vie at least six years old. “Napoleon” or “Old Reserve” are equivalent.
