Back in college, we were asked to do an interview about people who had unique hobbies or collections for our Art Studies class. Some interviewed a man who makes pottery, a man who collects Superman memorabilia, and an old lady who collects frog figurines. My groupmates and I interviewed a French diplomat who was also a wine collector.

He told us that he came from Bordeaux, the capital of Aquitaine in France. This city is famous for its world-class wines, dating back to the Roman Empire when it was set up as a colonial trading post. He said that the most popular tourist activity in Bordeaux is wine tasting. A number of wineries in the region welcome visitors with open arms for sampling of their wines, and if you come in October you can watch the grape harvest.

He got his passion for wine collection since his grandfather owns a winery. In France, their wines are kept and aged in cellars. However, since he now lived away from home, he had to settle for a wine refrigerator. Since he grew up with wines stored in cellars, he had to consult various wine cooler reviews first before he purchased one. In the end, he chose the EuroCave Comfort 101 Wine Cellar since he had over a hundred wines in his collection.
