We have previously organised dinner and wine tasting with a French theme. Last night it was time for a Spanish theme. The dinner was organised at the home of Robin (Peter's son) and Alexandra, who also made all the hot tapas. We took cold tapas with us. Wow, how much food there was! And how delicious! We probably won't need to eat for a week...

How do you store wine bottles in your motorhome/caravan? In a motorhome or caravan, the wine bottles have to be stationary when driving. This adds another dimension to the question of how to store them.
