But ok yes it is a shitty investment and anyone who treats wine as a portfolio is either rationalizing alcoholism or a weird autistic hoarder. |

like, "oh I can't enjoy just any wine. It has to be this very special limited selection." Meanwhile I'm prolely drinking wine out of a box and it's fine. I don't think that other guy actually *enjoys* his wine more than I do in an absolute sense, he's just blown out those particular dopamine receptors to such an extent. Therefore he has to spend $40 a bottle |

The pudgy kid wearing horizontal striped tshirts and carrying around a haphazardly arranged binder of mid starter pack cards grows up into a rotund neckbeard with a cupboard full of middling burbon that’s been opened and one scrimped-for bottle of Pappy that exists just to be shown off to similar friends that will still be sitting untouched (just like his cock) when he dies of sudden cardiac arrest at 54.
The scrawny rich kid who mommy dressed in head-to-toe Tommy Hilfiger and had immaculate binders of complete sets and spillover binders from all his booster packs grows up to be a fuck face lawyer with a wine cellar. He’s touchy about his collection and prone to GO OFF like BlackRock’s Rob Kapito when questioned about the size of his collection (allegedly). |
