6 ESSENTIAL Tips for Building Your PERFECT Wine Collection

[@NoSediment]

Comment below on what wine collecting or investing topics you would like me to cover in future videos. Cheers! 🍷🙌

[@dave7mm083]

😂 and I thought I was the only one who couldn't just let a bottle of sparkling wine just sit. There's always a good reason to open it. 🍾🥂

[@NoSediment]

Hahahah, no! You are definitely not the only one! 😉

Would love to see a video covering the best references for optimum drinking windows for age-worthy wines. The expert reviews I find to be extremely variable when it comes to drinking windows for expensive wines. I generally only store 1-2 bottles of wine from a specific label for a vintage, so if I open too early or too late it’s pretty disappointing cause it’s like you missed out on the whole experience.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You for Your comment! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I think Andrew Jefford touched briefly on this subject - drinking windows and ageing wine, and I like what he had to say. The idea was that wine can and should be enjoyed at a younger age rather than aged for decades in the cellars. And I agree, therefore I am not a huge supporter of drinking windows in general. 🤔 But there are definitely a drinking limit, when wine is past its best! 😬

just got started 20 years ago, but now 2023 and 2024 going to the top Petrus , Screaming Eagle, Le Pin, Roman Conti, and more. God Bless it

[@NoSediment]

You have some epic lineup there! Wanna share? 🤫🙃

[@user-zu3md5qz8y]

I just have a small 45 bottle capacity wine fridge thats' 20 years old and still running. @@NoSediment i've only wish i had a big cellar in a big estate but im just a small collector of a few great things yet.

Bill Gates, that you?

[@seminky5341]

I just found this channel and i think its unpretencious and realistic. Love the part when you said you buy wines that you like and if you aged too long, it may dissapoint you as it has passed its prime.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You! 🙏🏻 Very sweet of You to say! ☺️ Cheers! 🥂

[@juanmanuelmunozhernandez7032]

Great tips, especially around self-discipline, which I think is the most important aspect of wine collecting, whether for investment or consumption!

[@NoSediment]

☺️ Thank You for Your comment. For me, I really need to work of self discipline on Champagnes in my wine fridge! ✨🥂

[@carlcadregari7768]

Great topic. I’ve had many people ask me if I’m collecting…. I buy to drink and share. I have a few cult wines, but 95% of what’s in my cellar I’m ok with opening whenever I’d like to. The only exception is a case of 2012 rosé champagne that I open a bottle every year for my wife’s birthday that she loves. Cheers.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You for the comment, sounds very similar to me, I also collect for my future self! 🥂

[@dublodave7860]

Hi Agnese, There's a lot of common sense in this video which is always welcome and really helpful. When I started building a cellar (in the mid 1980's) I made the conscious decision that for every two bottles I drank I would buy three, it's surprising just how quickly the collection grew. In the 1990's I got the 'En Primeur' bug and was given the best advice ever - buy the best you can, buy three cases, sell two 10 (or more) years later and you'll drink for free. I am fortunate in having a decent cellar, it's in an outside privvy (toilet), the house was built in 1760 and the 'privvy' has 600mm thick solid stone walls, no windows and we have put in a tiled concrete floor, electrics, further insulation and an insulated door, a lot of racking, removed the drains and voila, we have an excellent wine store. It's also in shade under trees so never gets any direct sunlight and I have enough wine stored in it to be able to drink 4 bottles a week for the next 15 years - Sorted!.

[@NoSediment]

Ooho! You have impressive amount of wine and a great storage area! 🙌🙌🙌 Thank You for commenting! 🍷

[@crrizello5157]

Would be nice to see reviews of different wine inventory tracking apps

[@NoSediment]

I am actually working on it. As I don’t regularly use them. But want to see what is what myself. Before I make a video. Thank You for the tip! 🍷

[@baggrabb]

A lot of great advice, thanks. 🙏 Like you I’m a passion collector, not an investor. I also have stable storage for 110 bottles. I never buy cases, because I want diversity. Based on that desire, and limited storage, I buy 2s and 3s of bottles, drink one soon, and cellar the remainder (if ageable). I buy my “everyday” wines in 3s and 4s, and don’t use precious space in my stable storage, since they won’t be around too long anyway. Cheers🙏🍷🌺

[@NoSediment]

Sounds that You have figured it all out! And You buying patterns are similar to mine! ☺️ Cheers! 🥂

[@wlentsch8222]

Austria Whites? Good taste, miss! There are also Austrian sweet wines and reds. 😊

[@NoSediment]

And those are amazing as well! But I have to take one step at the time and mix it up a little bit! 😅

[@loganmalf22]

This might be too boring to make a good video but what to look for in a wine storage solution (e.g. what features should a good wine fridge have, what's unnecessary?) is something that I've been trying to find more info on as a wine newbie. Regardless, thanks for the great content!

[@NoSediment]

No, I think this is very fun video! I should look more into it! ☀️ Thank You for the suggestion! Cheers! 🥂

[@rodrigosalasolivares9921]

Great insights, thanks!, you should also try some Chilean Carménère and Malbec from Argentina (plenty of delicious wines)

[@NoSediment]

I have no doubt there, and also great value! 🙌

Hello Agnes, glat ti tell u that i finally Met Enrico rivetto at rivetto estate in Castiglione falletto... i had a Amazing nebbiolo tasting fron the Red up to Barolo Briccolino 2018..never forget❤️❤️🍷

Great to hear that’ 🙌🙌🙌 was the sky clear enough so You could see the Serralunga village? He has one of the most amazing views over the vineyards 🥂

@@NoSediment dear Agnes, that days there was a pretty sunny day and u could see in distange up to Serralunga 🤩. after talking to Enrico, he was pleased to know that I came and visit the estate after wacthing your video on the web. thanks . Luca

[@robertomangioni9272]

My rule of thumb, no more than 20 - 30 good wines in my cellar, and I try to keep it around this numbers as you drink, and not as an investiment in my phylosophy for wines, but each one decides what they wanna do! Cellartracker the best to way to keep track 😁

[@NoSediment]

Good number to keep in Your cellar! 😉 At least You know You will always have a nice bottle for a special occasion! 🍷

[@andrewferguson451]

Great video! I would love to see where and how you can buy collectable wines no matter where you are in the world

[@NoSediment]

I will keep this in mind! 🍷 Thank You for the tip and comment’ 🥂 Cheers! ✨

[@50somethinglawyer]

My own cellar, stored in bond, comprises two "buckets". Bucket 1 is the stuff I can't afford to drink bought for investment purposes and bucket 2 is the stuff I can afford to drink paid for by the profit on bucket 1. I'd like to be able to drink bucket 1 but I fear it will be a while before I can nonchalantly open up a bottle of Bibi Graetz "Colore" on a wet evening in Autumn just because I fancy it.

[@NoSediment]

W O W! Sounds like You have impressive collection of wine, and know exactly how to deal with it to get the maximum out of it! 🍷 Cheers! ✨

[@50somethinglawyer]

@NoSediment It's practical! I'd love to be able to drink some of the wines I buy but would struggle to justify doing so. I've Brunello tastes on a Rosso di Montalcino budget! I absolutely loathe the way speculation has driven prices out of the reach of anyone who would really appreciate experiencing some wines and obviously Burgundy is the paradigm example of this. Such a shame that it has gone this way and that so many top end wines aren't any more a consumer product but now instead almost purely an investment instrument.

[@FlintIronstag23]

@@50somethinglawyer The good news, according to the channel WineMoney&Song, there is demographic and consumer shifts happening that will put downward pressure on wine prices. I guess I should say good news for consumers of wine and not necessarily for investors/speculators.

[@palandi]

I never wanted to have a really large wine collection. every time I reached 60 bottles, I stopped buying until I was back to 50. owning a thousand bottles would imply drinking one bottle a day for about three years, which is pointless to me. add to that the fact I don't own a house and I'm not tied to a city, as I work remotely, and now I don't keep more than 10 bottles with me...

[@NoSediment]

It all makes sense, of course. And it is great to hear that some people (unlike me) are actually possible to deal and buy wine in a rational way. I am a very much a passion buyer. 🥲

[@palandi]

@@NoSediment, es arī, Agnese. but I'm trying to control myself, although I'm buying some 2020 and 2023 bottles for my nieces to enjoy when they reach drinking age 🙃

Great job Agnesa..

[@NoSediment]

Thank You! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Cheers! 🥂

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

This might sound funny but I'd collect a few bottles of wine to store away kind of apart of emergency supplies. Nothing all that expensive but in certain situations a few bottles of wine (or hard spirits) would be good trade items. I already have a "rainy day" stash so the leap wouldn't be that far for me. Half bottles might be better for that. Wine bottles get heavy.

[@NoSediment]

I am more interested in what wines You store for emergency! 🤔🤔🤔

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

@NoSediment good question. If I was more serious about it, probably a fortified red or two. Then maybe some other recognizable red like Cab, Bordeaux, Zin 🤷‍♂️

[@niktafr]

Some great points in the video. BTW you could be Naomi Watt so sister!

There is already a video uploaded about Champagne, and specifically the foundations to know and understand this beautiful wine! 🥂✨ Cheers!

[@andresalarcon5671]

i'm only 28. how do i find older bottles if i was there at the time? or do i collect wines the ones i like?

[@NoSediment]

I personally collect the ones that I like now. I specifically don’t chase older wines, however when there is an opportunity I might double check the offer (price, condition where wine is kept) and buy some back vintages. 🍷

[@NealBurkard-ut1oo]

Some companies will cellar and sell wines on the higher end. You can get old vintages but it'll cost you. I recommend cellaring yourself. Although 05 Margaux is my favorite and I might need to spurge someday
