Product Information

The box itself is a revelation, too; unlike most box wines, which are somewhat shameful sights you want to cover with a tea towel, this is actually an exceptionally pretty design, redolent of azulejo tiles on an old-school Lisbon bar wall. Generally, the more time cognac spends in the barrel the nuttier and richer it becomes. VS, on the other hand, tend to be more vibrant and fresher, so this isn’t a case of one being better than the other. How is VS Cognac drunk? Cosaporto is a Rome-based outfit, now working in London, which has come up with the nifty idea of supporting local restaurants by delivering bottles from their cellars to your door. It has a huge range of single-bottle and multi-bottle offerings and a few ‘dinner to your door’ options, too. The amount of time spent in barrel defines the style of a Cognac. A VS will spend at least two years in oak; VSOP is aged for four years; and XO for 10 years. Above these classifications, the finest blends and vintage Cognacs can be aged for many decades.

It is much darker and more complex than the VS OP , with appealing leather and tobacco notes and a touch of spice, making it a great cigar cogn ac .

Box wine translates as ‘last resort’ to me; the final two days of the French holiday option when you’ve completely run out of cash and you’ve resorted to heading to the local supermarche and drinking on the balcony until the 2am flight home. But stereotype busting improvements are afoot.We don’t discriminate or judge in this column. Well, actually that’s a complete lie. We have a major problem with Bud Light and the pitiful range of white wines that haven’t altered for over half-a-decade in any of the ‘Local’ branches of Sainsbury’s. But we embrace the new. And this creation is right at the forefront of what refusenik Oasis fans would call uncomfortable, new and strange and what Four Tet and Octavian fans would open-mindedly embrace.
