NCR : Dusty Wine Bottles

[Azonic]

So I am an amateur wine collector with a tiny collection I have been putting together over the last couple of years. Mostly via bottles I win at races etc. So maybe 20 bottles in total, some dating back about 14 years.

 

I have these stacked on a shelf at  home. Granted I have only been in this house little over a year. In that time the bottles have gathered dust nicely, most semi-cultured people will know that a dusty bottle of wine shows character, class, a sense of being matured.

 

...last Friday we got a new maid in...

 

This morning on her 2nd visit she goes "...oh and last Friday I packed all the bottles out and wiped them, they were very dusty...". I look up at my collection to see every bottle polished to a pristine diamond-cut gloss.

 

Mother ****er.

Give her a Malema shirt...eish..

That is the problem with me when I am home the collection gets severely depleted

They look like cheap Pick n Pay wine bottles.   They're shiny!!

Send her to samma's place to dust off his TV.

I had a bottle with a custom designed label that I got as a gift. I really liked it. Past tense...

The maid dropped it while cleaning it (ek vra jou met trane in my o?,hoekom?) so the bottle is no more, and my place smelled like red wine forr two weeks...

The problem is not the dust, the problem is that the wine has been disturbed.

 

You biggest problem is the fact that you have 14 year old wine sitting on a shelf, that stuff is probably ruined, if you want to keep wine you need a stable temperature. The constant changing temparature from day to night, sucks a little air into the cork, causing oxidation and buggering up your wine. My advise start popping and drinking now. If you want to collect build a temparture controled wine store

*Hi-Jack*  Hey Azonic, what you recon our circus corrupt country's npa is going to come up with today ?   We challenge Judge Nichloson's verdict.  oeps sorry, now we actually do not have enough evidence to prosecute...

At least she cleans and she never drank the wine

My previous domestic was drinking a small collection of Jack Daniels i had.

You should have been rotating them anyway - quarter turn every two weeks.

 

Foe Fighter's right - it's time for a cheese & wine evening.

The problem is not the dust' date=' the problem is that the wine has been disturbed.

Didn't your wife use her shoe cupboard as a "temperature controlled wine store" for years? Is this still the case? Or have you been doing some "popping and drinking"?
