sitting in a cave
and if one green bottle should accidentally fall
There would still be enough for a weekend on the Fizz
We were at Chateau Gaudrelle yesterday evening, for a very pleasant evening tasting. While we were there we had a tour of the caves, where we were shown this rack of 30,000 bottles of last year's Vouvray sparkling.
Our job has all sorts of compensations!

What a good idea to put the gas bottle in the future pantry. It won't take up valuable kitchen space that way.
If you started at one end and Susan started at the other, how long would it take to drink yourselves to the middle ??
Heaven for a lover of Fizz!
Who's driving Celestine?????????
Technical question, sort of: Are the labels applied to the bottles before they're stored that way, or after, when they're pulled out for sale and shipment? Stored labels would get mussed up, I should imagine.
Why did I think of that? No idea, but I've never seen that many wine bottles all lined up.
Jean. At least a weekend, even if we invited our friends over.
Gaynor. The poor man who doesn't get to sample everythingto the fullest.
Emm. These bottles have metal tops (crown caps) still, and are undergoing second fermentation. Later the yeasty sludge will be removed, the bottles topped up, corked, "basketed" and labelled.
