36. Yolanda Scrillington So as I say, we knew he loved his wine, but we didn’t realise how much he’d stowed away over the years and it was such a surprise to see all those dusty racks in that cupboard under the stairs … we thought the obvious thing to do would be to talk to an expert to get an idea of what it’s all worth … a small fortune I would think … and then maybe agree a price to clear the whole lot … such a fantastic collection, all sorts of wonderful vintage wines … you can tell how old some of them are because the prices are still on some of the bottles … £2.99 from Asda one of them, must be worth 10 times that now! The kids used to buy him a bottle of Bristol Cream every year on his birthday, and he kept all of those – saving for some big family occasion I expect, bless him … yes, he did like to drink wine for pleasure too – every month there would be a box arrive from the Society of Wine, I think it’s called, and those were his everyday sort of drinking wines … but all the special stuff, things we gave him or that friends brought round at Christmas, all that went into his secret little cellar … we honestly have no idea about value … but you can have the lot for, say, a thousand if you like …
