My husband is way worse than I am about stashing it away.
At least I drink the wine where as he has some kind of Great Depression mentality that he needs to save, save, save it.
Considering that wine investing is a growing trend in the financial world, maybe his inclination to save isn't that bad of an idea. But, it still isn't as much fun as drinking it!
For those who have seriously thought of using your interest in wine as an avenue for some financial perks, you might find this article Market Watch interesting:
