I do not get people who like wine THIS much. Like, are you even going to drink all of it before you die? When I buy alcohol I intend to drink it sooner or later, by myself or with friends, and then buy more alcohol.

Will you even TASTE all of that before you die, and if it's just to taste them all, why have bottles so big? They should just make smaller wines for snob collectors

Easy to go through that when you regularly host 20-vampire dinner parties.

I'm gonna be real, I know couples in their 60s and 70s who could easily drink all that before they die. I doubt the Obama's will, it's just a status symbol for them, but for the retired professors I know that wall would be 3 or 4 dinner parties.

Shit is like a funkopop wall but for the obscenely wealthy

I'm into wine, and while I keep some bottles that need to age for longer before they're good, some I got as a gift and I'm waiting for a special occasion and the right people to open them and drink them with, and some I intend to gift later, I don't understand people who have hundreds and hundreds of bottles either.

At some point it becomes about performing class and showing off. Unless you're a full time somm at a restaurant I'm sure you're not going to remember every label and vintage in that cellar, and know what they're good for, or taste like.
