Dealing with Excessive Wine Stockpiles

[kangarooflyer88]

Just thought I’d start this thread as I am getting into the practice of buying expensive wine for cheap flights on Qantas Wine. Consequently between this and my stays at various Accor properties I am starting to build up a stockpile. One far larger than a bachelor or couple could consume (especially when we’re talking about 20 bottles of the same thing)

Hence, I thought I’d check with fellow points collectors how they handle the build up of wine? Do you just bring a bottle to every gathering you attend? What strategies could help one deal with the excesses of wine accumulated over these point hauls?

Cellaring is a popular technique.

Throwing lots of parties is another.

Not sure the freebies from Accor are up to cellaring...

I may "send" a couple over if there is interest (and supposing it doesn't cost me a dime to do so)

Assuming they’re not plonk….

When we're dealing with QF Wine chances are good they may be plonk.

I hear if you cellar Accor wines long enough, an ibis will fly out of the bottle when you open the bottle!
