As various have said, I can't imagine you'll get flamed. I agree with
the statements that have reached my ISP's server so far.

Wine is a source of astonishment, exasperation, delight and occasional
disappointment, but it shouldn't be a source of profit. I can never
understand those who buy the stuff to sit on it in the hope of making
money (same goes with whisky).

It has always been my dream (unattainable) to go to some high-powered
auction with a couple of friends and buy some rare and unique bottle,
whip out a corkscrew and some glasses, pour a glass for the
auctioneer, one each for my friends and me and enjoy the Batemanesque
scene of "The Man Who Drank The Wine He Bought At Auction".
