A Wine Cellar for Every Home

摘要

In early October, wine enthusiast Alan Stat-man received a mouth-watering invitation to taste rare vintages that a friend had been aging for a decade. But when the glasses were hoisted, instead of sensing rich fruits and rounded tannins, "it tasted like I would expect sewage to taste," said Statman, who practices corporate law in Cincinnati.rnWhat happened? The wines had been stored in a basement that wasn't cool or humid enough. With some 1,500 bottles that would have been worth an average of $250 each if they had been properly stored, his friend may have lost $375,000 worth of wine.
