found a rack full of wine.....fucking shedloads of bottles....59 bottles of red, 74 bottles of white and 16 bottles of champers....

oh and the dates were 1954 thru to 1967

I dont drink but....what you reckon.....?

Do i sell or do i let missus drink it?

Advice please

are you sure you just haven't knocked through to the off licence next door - didn't know you lived next to Threashers

Haha yes well we bought a property in a place called Friston in Sussex. It needed a lot of work and the renovations are still on going. knocking through at the ground floor has unearthed some interesting things.

I wondered why the 'cellar' had been bricked up but then it was simple...a lower holding cooler has been built with the garage which hadn't been used for years...the entrance to the holding had a door which had become overgrown with the locally abundant ivy. Nobody had ever chopped it down.

I am still in the process of trying to find out why the wall was bricked up in the interior of the house.......one is interested to knock down some more......

Fascinating that Sammy, that wine will be worth a bit or you could just quaff it ;)

Na save it for when we win the league again - it will worth an absolute fortune by then

Sell. If someone had hidden away such a collection, there could be some expensive and rare vintages in there. And it would be wasted on people who don't drink high quality wines - obviously not a personal sleight, simply true of most alcohol's and people who don't often partake.

Fascinating find though, it's like buried treasure Must have been neat uncovering it.

As one earlier poster said, should save a bottle or two for the next time we win the league... it'll be twice as valuable by then!

No, thanks. I drink wine only on rare occasions. I prefer beer

Sammy we have a proper Sommelier who owns an exclusive wine business in our village.

If you forwarded a list of what you have to me I could drop it into him.

Don't take Mark the Juice's first offer Sammy. You're sitting on a small fortune there. What a bloody lovely result. I'm really pleased for you.

I would defo get at least 3 of those wine buffs to value your stash. Sounds like you are sitting on a small fortune.

Well done fella, couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Maybe you can use it to pay the council for your non existent pension? ;)
