World’s Largest Wine Cellar

While in Chisinau, I discovered that Moldova is famous for its wine. And two great wineries operate in the vicinity of the city. One of them – Mileștii Mici Winery, holds the world’s Guinness record for the largest winery and collection in the world. It was a must-visit on the trip, even though I’m not a wine enthusiast.

Welcome to the largest wine cellar in the world 150 miles worth of underground network of tunnels that has the largest wine collection in the world as well there are still some unexplored places where you can really get close because of the land and a lot of dust and crossroads while working degrees celsius

In oak barrel uh wine is aged for one up to three years but not more water is too much it is not better for the winery itself too yes this is the tank stainless steel sound they are made for slowing wine but at the same time

So this barrel is the oak barrel it calls about 7 000 liters and the metal barrel holds 12 000 liters so that’s the difference the more wind it is the better it is to store it in the metal there This was made in 2005 just behind the gates here these are private owned collections so a person is able to pay a rental fee of 300 euro per year and then to fill it with the whites temperature conditions are ideal for the wine here so this is the reason why collectors would

Prefer to store it here instead of their home or somewhere else because obviously it’s taken care of the oak barrels last about 30 years and then it’s transferred into tanks and then into bottles these things are called the casa this little holes well they’re because they hold from up to 1000 bottles

Inside the hole and they’ll have no stickers or labels because it would ruin the quality of the wine on top of the corks you put wax and every three years you have to change it the wax because it becomes moldy let’s think about the total value of this amount of wine of 55

Million euros the average price of a bottle is around 27 euro one million five hundred thousand oh i would say more or less because this number is volatile when the demand appears some of the bottles are going away after new harvests new bottles are put here i have two types of

Of core here some of them of bottles beer a quart made from one single piece other bottles beer a cork made under pressure so from several pieces if you ask me which is the best i would say both of them or both of them are not good because even one piece can have

Some malformation from its inside which cannot be see crystal clear by the eye but yes the quark is special because it is the bark of a tree um kercina from spain and that wetlay that bark have to to to grow for 25 years behind the door by the way we can have a

Glass a few places secret room but there was wine here wasn’t there one it was there was one here so what would you what would they make a secret room to store the most expensive if someone wanted to let’s try that so it still operates you can still move this and yes but

It weighs seven tons sweet whites can last for inner century because of the so supposedly this is the most expensive one here one thousand five hundred dollars it’s a very mood the tree of drunkness so when you get drunk you sit under the tree oh what’s the story

At the basement we have a homo sapiens the wisest here being on earth step by step we change the our soberness with some craziness so we level up until we reach the the last floor of being drunkly drunk i see so here we have the face that is

Still sober sober man and then it turns into a more happy farm an interesting part about this that only half of the tunnels that are being used the other half haven’t been discovered or dug out and these tunnels were originally mines for limestone limestone excavations in the 1970s it

Was turned into the warehouse of wine storage how long could wine last in these vessels oh i think not so much because of this interaction with air yeah they didn’t have a proper pork system right and wine was soar but greek’s romance used to sweeten it using honey using water there is fortunate

We could associate water with a bordeaux a bordeaux wine represents um not only is this the largest wine cellar in europe and in the world it’s also has the largest wine collection in the world over 1.5 million bottles were stored where we were also this wine cellar is state-owned so any profits

That are being made here they go to the state hopefully they use it for the benefit of the public
