Show us your alcohol collection! [Pics] - Page 4

VippiN · 20th March 2007, 10:20 PM

I'm also starting out.

I reckon I started well, bought myself a bottle of JB Small Batch.

So far i've got:

JB Small Batch
Coyote Tequila
Galliano Black
Galliano White
Absolute Vodka

Once a month i'll buy a bottle of something, come a few years I should have more than enough to warrant buying a good display cabinet.

my booze collection sucks...

All I have is about 1/3 of a 1L bottle of Jack Daniels, most of a bottle of Jagermeister, and a little bit of Johnnie Walker Red (bought a bottle, drank most of it, got too drunk on it, can't drink the rest).

Now I want to buy a couple more bottles to shore up the collection. To Dan Murphys!

I'm not a big drinker, but I work for an alcohol company, so I have quite a modest collection. I've given HEAPS away, and I still have no room to put them anywhere, most bottles are unopened, or opened 3/4's of the bottle full.

What is it like working in the alcohol industry? Im guessing its not as magical as willy wonkers factory but it would have to be close right?

I work within the marketing department, the industry is pretty cool, but it does take its toll, the parties go off though

and being an entertainment'ish industry, everyone is very laid back, we get to drink in the office in Friday's, and obviously I get heaps of freebie alcohol on top of our staff allowance which is $500 per year (at wholesale pricing).

Oh did I mention the parties go off and I can always get myself the VIP invite lists to almost any club in Australia, but I rarely take advantage of that, I should more often aye

That would depend if you work in the taste-testing department or not

I havn't the cost or space to have a big alcohol collection, but at bottlos I discovered a few are selling a variety of small 50ml bottles of various spirits

I am collecting those, cause they're cool and cute and I like collecting miniature stuff. I'll take some pics later.

Ahh someone who works for Maxxium. Or did.
How is the Coke "merger" working out for you - or do you have to wait until the first week of April to find out like everyone else?

Its not a merger, Coke will just be the sales agent for Maxxium, Maxxium still exists in terms of marketing, finance and relationship with the shareholders.

As for me, I'll be moving offices in April to the Coke office. Most people know now where they'll be heading, either staying with Maxxium, relocated to Coke, or been made redundant.
