Post Your Cellar Photos - Vol. 2

I legitimately have no idea what cork and cap is. I googled and no luck. I've only ever heard and seen cork and cage like with Champagne.

Are you saying Champagne is supposed to be stores upright? I have not seen that before.

 

This has been debated endlessly, & apparently there is no right or wrong. The opinions on both sides for both types of bottles (capped vs. corked) have been so thoroughly confused in my head that I no longer care.

I store everything upright. My oldest bottles have passed the ten year mark in my possession & no problems so far. That's good enough for me.

 

Sounds great! The oldest bottles in my possession are from 2014.

 

Some bottles have a cork that is flush with the top of the bottle and also have a regular cap. The ones you are probably most familiar with, the cork sticks above the top of the bottle and has a cage.

 

Thanks so much. I have definitely never seen that.

What's the motivation to cork and cap? I suppose I do not understand enough about cellaring.

 

I am really not sure why the difference, the only bottle I've had like that was a Fou Foune recently, which was delicious by the way. It was stored upright and I believe the cork actually broke when I was taking it out. Got the rest out okay but going by just that experience, seems like maybe the Cork & Cap should be stored on it's side and Cap & Cage either way since you can grab the top and pull it out without as much worry of breakage. But, I don't really know, not a wine guy or sour expert by any means.

 

Finally finished this. Pretty happy so far:

 

Not a full view, but I'm back to having a full Clown Shoes shelf again:



Looking forward to some themed tastings of the Beast and Billionaire series!

 

That is literally beautiful. I'm still waiting on it around here. Hopefully I can get a bottle or two.

I should start a vintage beer store :')

 

Holy cow!!! Awesome Post! Thanks for sharing!

If you don't mind me asking, how far back did you begin accumulating?

I am also now cross-threading, but do you have a "most prized beer" in your cellar?

 

Didnt start proper cellaring until somewhere beginning 2016 so there aren't many "old" bottles.

oldest one(s) i still have is 2010
most range in the 2015 - 2016 region

 

Nice way to bring this back to life!!!!

 

That's amazing!
