Ok, we've seen some of Granty's impressive whisky collection, so here are some of my wines (note that there are another identical four full rows to the left of the last row you can see, as it goes under the stairs, and facing them (hidden) another three full rows:

This is what I have in my kitchen:

And there are about another 95 bottles in the garage!:D

Nice impressive cellar. Great thing about wine is you can (should) store it on side. Can't do that with whisky tho so storage is a bit more difficult.
I bet I could do some damage there [emoji23]
Well, when all this shite's over mate, feel free to come down and 'be damaged'!:D:eyebrows:Quote:

Marco,
That is a serious wine collection.
How long dose it take to turn/rotate all those bottles ?
Is it every 3 months? Or do you drink that much with in the 3 month window?:lol:
Seriously that is a huge collection.
Can we see your whiskey collection too.
I'll bet you have a couple good ones tucked away.
I'm not sure... I'd have to ask the butler!:DQuote:

Plus some are rare vintage fine-wines, which I'm laying down to improve with age, mainly claret and burgundy, and keeping for a special occasion. The fridges (we have two) are also full of champagne and other sparkling wines, as well as white and rosé (plus lager, beer and various soft drinks) - and I won't mention all the different vermouths, sherry, madeira, aperitifs and liqueurs/digestifs, plus gin, rum, vodka and other 'mixers' for making cocktails, there are in our 'bar' - yes we enjoy entertaining!:lol:

Yup, got a few nice malts, but nothing approaching Grant's level. The problem for me is that Del doesn't drink whisky, so unless I have friends or family over, who appreciate a nice malt, it tends to just sit there. Different sharing a bottle of wine together, over a nice meal. I suspect that Grant has the same issue, the other way round. However, when he comes to visit, I intend to turn him into more of a wine-o!:ner:
Marco.
