A hobbyist sommelier, Mr. Saslow is the proud owner
of a wine collection he has expanded for more than 30
years. For those interested in developing their own fine
wine collection, the following tips can help you get
started.
- Don’t worry about the size of the collection. Select
quality, meaningful wines, such as a particularly good
vintage or a bottle from a special trip.

3.  - Price isn’t everything. To get the collection off the
ground, consider focusing on a specific type of wine--
French merlots or Spanish palominos, for example--
that offers a good price range.
- Learn about aging. Some wines age better than
others. If you plan to store your wine for decades, you
want to ensure it tastes good when finally uncorked.
As a first tip, consider that the larger the volume of the
container, the more slowly the wine will age.
-Prepare a good storage space. You needn’t spend a lot
of money, but a wine collection should be kept
between 52 and 58 degrees Fahrenheit, at 60 to 80
percent humidity, and in relative darkness.
