Cognac storage question.

I've heard that storing cognac on it's side is bad, since the cork would adversely affect the flavour of the cognac.

I have heard that too. Just like beer and Madeira is stored upright.

I would shy away from gasing the bottle either. Long term gasing effects the aromatic (from what I have been told). I have noticed this some on dry wines, but the extended keep time may be worth a less vibrant and fresh wine.
