Our lass keeps going on about fitting a wine cellar I then pointed out we have a table with space for 8 bottles of wine under and she drinks it so quick is nearly always empty so why would we need a space for dozens of bottles😂
Also if you want some Candian house porn this one is a bit architectural for me - up the road from where we are

There does seem to be a fashion for wine cellars, but unless you mass cater or collect vintage wines, what is the point? I suspect many are filled with £10 supermarket bottles. If you get low, add more to the weekly shop.

I’ve got a rack that holds 7 bottles and it is half full. I did have a bit of an excess of red wine at the start of the year, but lockdown and two online quiz groups have really helped sort out that problem.

Bit of a hobby for some people. I quite like discovering new stuff and usually order a case or 2. Starting to get a hit out of control now tbh. Wed night wine is now getting expensive.

I keep running back to my £5 bottle of Blossom Hill Soft and Fruity Red.

Friends recommend certain other reds and I buy them, but I don't see the worth in spending double the money on something that I don't appreciate the difference in.
There hasn't been anything that I've found that I consider to be better than my stock plonk.
I've treated myself to expensive reds in restaurants on special occasions and they taste fine, but nothing I would especially return to.

Maybe I've just got a crap palette ...

£330k for a house under the east coast mainline and restricted to 2 parking spaces ... errr nope.

I once looked at a place that was next to the rail line in Sunderland and i asked the guy if the noise from the trains was an issue.

"Nah", he said "You don't notice them at all, the first one comes past at 5.58am and the last one of the day is just after 11.46pm"

In other words they make so much noise you can set your clock by them, I passed on it.

Maybe that's the reason it has a bar, the seller just gets pissed so he can't hear the trains!

Aye daft names there is a Merlot Court and Shiraz place as well as lots of others

Its a big wine producing area so thats the reason - mind all the 2020 wines will have 'smoky undertones' as we are locked in with smoke from all the fires in the US its f***ing rank here at the minute

Can hear the faint rattle from my new place but I fond it rather soothing. Better than being under the Heathrow approach which starts at 4am like my last dogs.
