A cladogram is a stylized diagram that looks like a series of Y's or forks in a road. At each branch, or Y junction, novel characters of evolutionary origin are used to separate off one group from the rest. Cladograms can be constructed for any group of organisms.
I checked with the bubbly brain on staff, Bruce Sanderson (who reviews Champagne for Wine Spectator), and he says, Champagne can age well. High acidity and carbon dioxide act as preservatives as it ages in the bottle prior to disgorgement. After disgorgement, Champagne will develop like a still wine. If the quality is high (i.e., an excellent vintage-dated bubbly) and it is well stored, Champagne is capable of long aging.
1) Most types of wine are ready-to-drink. So, if youâre cellaring this kind of wine for that impromptu dinner party, hopefully you will drink it within a year (this time frame is based on storing the wine under ideal conditions). If however, youâre cellaring this type of wine as an investment, good luck.) Certain types of wine improve with age. So, if youâre a casual wine collector, buying this kind of wine provides several benefits (assuming proper storage conditions): 1  You have a longer time frame to enjoy your wine. 2  You can increase the size and variety (balance) of your collection.
