Bin Ends
|
|
A bin, in wine terms, is simply a part of the cellar
where one stores wine. Say the cellar is divided up
into 100 bins, each separated by a partition of some
sort. Then imagine that each bin contains bottles of
a single vintage of the same wine; for
argument’s sake imagine that a particular bin
starts out full to the gunwales with 1929
Château Latour. This wine has been on one's
wine list for some time and now there are but a few
bottles remaining, rolling around at the bottom of
the bin. What you really would like to do is to get
rid of them quickly, thereby freeing up the bin,
perhaps for the 1930 vintage (quel dommage; it was a
dog). The natural inclination is to knock a slab off
the ticket and call a few close friends and
especially favoured customers.
|
|
Our bin ends are simply a variation on this rather
old-fashioned theme. Rather than wine sitting in our
own bins, this list features wine held in our company
account at Octavian; wine which we'd much rather
sell, albeit sometimes with a reduced margin, than
having it continue to tie up capital and accrue
storage charges. Wines on this list are the remnants
of offers past and, as such, have all passed rigorous
selection tasting. There are superb wines on this
list, many quite a bit more mature than when we first
offered them…and, on the whole, at a lower
price. This is your chance to take advantage of your
wine merchant. Feel free!
