wine collecting
Curating bottled vintages
Wine collecting is the hobby or practice of acquiring and storing wines, typically with attention to vintages, regions, and producers.
Collectors may drink their acquisitions, hold bottles for appreciation in value, or simply enjoy the pursuit: His wine collecting started with a case of Bordeaux and grew into a temperature-controlled cellar.
The activity ranges from casual accumulation to serious investment.
