Exactly.

If you have the money to pay someone for storage, you have enough money to build your own cellar. Anyone who doesn’t have insurance on valuables, especially those outside of arm’s reach deserves to be “wiped out”.

“I remember on one of those real crime TV shows a guy was putting fake labels on inexpensive bottles. Maybe fake bottles too, not sure.”

I’ve seen a local restaurant chef buying cases of Aldi’s Winking Owl wine brand to serve as house wine.

“If I understand your meaning, someone cut up a painting and sold the individual pieces.”

I think so, from what I understand Pollack did these massive canvases that can’t be hung anywhere and so they portion them out and you can have a piece for a price. But as somebody said in the comment section in response to my initial comment is that “they look like drip cloths” And they do!

As for the original intent of this thread and as for wine. Good wine is wasted on me. Cuz my taste buds are burned out and I can’t tell the difference between US $10 liter and a hundred dollar bottle.

Okay, sorry. Found it reading AP articles, but I hate using them as a source.
