RiversideLen.What do cognac labeling terms like VSOP and XO stand for?

Missed again.
I missed it too, but then I've never tasted cognac nor had it in the house.
So, what is the difference in taste--just in case I ever do have a reason to buy it?
I knew it because I had an uncle who was a cognac drinker. For a time so was I.
Baker Aunt, longer aging of a spirit, be it cognac or any other, usually makes it smoother to the taste, even silky if it's aged long enough and it will develop more complex flavor since it spent more time interacting with the oak in which it was aged. Truth be told, the regular VS was good enough for me.
