    It took me ages to find a drinks cabinet, but the one I bought holds about 30/40 plus 3 wine racks from memory 15 bottles of wine.

    I have a buffet that holds 50 bottles, but I need additional space.
    I a mthinking about a vertical cabinet to hold the "nicer" bottles that I can keep innthe cornet, so no UV issues.

    I do of course understand your problem - I have difficulty storing 100 or so bottles of wine.
    I have been thinking about my consumption of spirits. Assuming a double measure (70ml) for a nightcap, then a standard bottle would last 10 days. Thus 60 bottles would last me about two years - not as much as I initially thought.

    I like whisky, but I'm a wine man at heart, so only have a few bottles of decent whisky. My current wine collection runs to 350 bottles, as I like having wines from various regions of France, Spain and Italy (reds, whites and rosés) as well as new world stuff, and apéritifs, which Del and I are fond of before a meal

    Thunderbird used to come in two different strengths, red label or blue label iirc. Years ago we took a couple of bottles with us to Ayr, where it was so instantly popular our mates persuaded their local offy to stock it.
