Wine cellars Milestii Mici Moldova (12 photos)
Basements in Milestii Mici considered the biggest not only in Moldova, but also in the world (according to Guinness Book of Records 2007). Their total length - 250 km, of which a wine storage allocated 200 self storage facility is a small underground city with its "wine" streets - "Pinot", "Codru", "Feteasca", "Muscat", etc. < br />
Who knew Moldova known not only for Sofia Rotaru and migrant workers, but also a great wine. There's a lot of wine, and it needs to be stored somewhere. Especially for this are the cellars where the wine feels comfortable and preserved intact for decades.
At the entrance to the cellars are two fountains of wine - red and white.
In fact, it is not wine, and colored water.
Often, people are not warned about this and they are trying to taste the fountain.
The collection contains about Milestii Mici 2 million bottles.
Some are kept there for a long time ...
... And some very long.
This rich collection of seemingly had collected many decades. However, this store was built relatively recently, in 1969.
In the basement is quite possible to get lost, in addition to the main avenues there are many branches and small streets.

Here is the tasting room. Looks gloomy and slightly gives a shovel, but after a couple of glasses of wine, everything seems wonderful. Wine tasting is simply stunning! When, after the cool cellars where intoxication is not so noticeable, the yield on the 40-degree heat, I want to fall under some bush and do not crawl out from there until the evening, until the degree is not subside.
It is a pity that you can not walk there without a guide. The tour itself is pretty boring, at C grade. When you see something interesting on the side of the main route, the guide of all drives on. And the information is fed rather dryly.
