Do you ever buy bottles to hold/age them and resell?

Same as PwC1 - but I buy quantities of good vintages that I *may* sell in future. Example being 15 cases of 2016 Bordeaux (mostly Pomerol and St Emilion) that were bought en primeur and haven’t even taken delivery yet. Just sitting in bond (tax not paid) so easy to sell if needed or wanted but think I’ll really appreciate having them 10-20-30 years down the line.

When you’re buying stuff with age - provenance is key. People will pay more for a lot that is still OWC (original wood case) vs. an orphan bottle. If I’m buying a full case I have more confidence the wine was stored well. When I’m buying a single bottle I’m taking a flyer that the wine hasn’t traded hands a million times and been stored poorly.

Age, yes. Resell, no

This is a super interesting topic. I concur with the post the provenance is key. It’s also interesting to pay attention to vintages with longevity. Most wine consumption today happens too early. Thus, the longer you can hold the better. A second challenge is where and how to sell.

Any advice for how to transport wine during a move (1,000 miles driving)? There’s only about 15 bottles i actually care about from my collection - I’ll probably end up just drinking the other 30 by the time we move.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Ribeiro: LOVE this wine region from the Galicia region of Spain but it’s hard to find anything coming out of this place. Not to be confused with Ribera del Duero, known for Vega Sicilia, lot of white wine cones from this region. The Treixadura grape is prominent, and it has granite soils and a rich bubblegum like flavor. Lovely minerality and acidity.
