Stalin's wine cellar
-
Deep within a vault, where tangled cobwebs cling to the ceiling and a musky sweetness hangs in the air, a remarkable wine collection once owned by Josef Stalin has been unsealed for the first time this week.
The Georgian government, now the custodian of this extraordinary repository in Tbilisi, plans to auction off the roughly 40,000 French and Georgian rarities.
Some bottles in the collection date back to the early 19th century.
Proceeds from the sale are earmarked to establish a new wine education school in Georgia
