What is your capacity in the wine industry?

The only one wine category I feel "confident" on is Port Wine. I have had most of the great 20th century vintages, and about 30-40% of my collection is Port going back to the 19th century.

This knowledge did not come cheap either. If I guessed, it would be over 100K in port personally consumed easily...

I assume you'd have to spend 3-4x to know Bordeaux or Burgundy to similar detail?
