whine

I could never get used to the idea of wine cellars. There is no point in piling up soft goods. Why collect drugs? I don´t know anybody who has a collection of the world´s finest smack.
This is Choco, from the Harz-mountains of Germany.

I enjoy wine. My taste improved, my “knowledge” about wine has increased, so has my collection. For particular occasions I want wine that suits the circumstances. Meaning one bottle of red, one of white and a glass to mix rosé is not enough.

In my fridge white wine bottles take most of the space - even after (!) an armageddon-esque weekend. Mostly various kinds of organic German and Austrian Riesling, some Chardonnay and four bottles of awesome Verdejo from Spain, even though I hate the Spanish. The Verdejo tastes like someone would punch a fruit salad through your nostrils right into your brains. Perfect summer wine.

In the fridge, there is food for maybe 10 Euro. Mostly expired Pesto and yoghurt.
