This is what you want: a stairway to wine heaven

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: make a stairway to wine heaven.

They posted photos of it on social media and people went crazy. The only complaint? ‘Too few steps,’ someone joked. Meanwhile, we can only dream of all the delicious bottles we would finally have space for. Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir – mom is just going up the stairs...
