Like who has wine in the house for more than a day anyway?

We've got a wine cellar. The previous owner used to run a Champagne import business and it was licensed for 3000 bottles.
It's a decent ambient temperature and we generally only have to chill the wine down further for ten or fifteen minutes before it's ready to drink. Reds are more problematic as it can take two or three hours before the wine is properly room temperature....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

How Steven Spurrier enraged the French — and was never forgiven | The Spectator
But of course he couldn’t resist shaking things up a bit and so organised an event where French wine grandees would blind taste some top Californian wines against the equivalents from Bordeaux and Burgundy. According to Spurrier, there was no mischievous intent — the ‘Judgment’ was simply an attempt to demonstrate the quality of wines coming out of California. Many involved, however, were not amused when the Americans came out top; Spurrier describes being ‘physically thrown out of the Ramonet cellars by M. Ramonet’s son André for having caused such an insult to the family name’.

If any of you cretins believe that New World wines are, in general, superior, or even equivalent to European, you don't know what you're talking about. An ocassional vintage and year, unusually, maybe. Although I fully agree that with global warming, English wines will get better.
Stick to drinking Carling Black Label and don't make fools of yourselves.Hard Brexit now!
