wine collector

Vintage bottle accumulator

A wine collector is a person who acquires and stores wines, typically fine or rare bottles, often with attention to vintage, provenance, and proper cellaring conditions.

The practice ranges from casual hobbyists building modest collections to serious enthusiasts investing in temperature-controlled cellars and auction purchases: He's become quite the wine collector since retiring.
