Disaster

[TrashKan]

sad day in the MO...a fire in my dedicated Vino creation laboratory completely destroyed all of my equipment ( which can be replaced in time fortunately), but I lost around 40 gallons of wine that was in various stage of bulk aging from 3 months to 1 year.

That's terrible. If no one was hurt, that's great! In the end things are...just things.

Oh no! I hope the rest of the house wasn’t damaged too much. Fire cleanup is no fun at all.

 

[sour_grapes]

Sorry to hear that! Good luck on the recovery.

Very unfortunate. Sorry to hear of this tragedy. Good luck on your restart.

 

[Jovimaple]

Sorry for your troubles. That's a hard loss to take.

How did it happen? Any idea? Was it associated with any heater?

It appears to be from a short in an outlet or a seed starting mat

I’m sorry for your loss! I had a fire once that burnt down half of my house. It a lot of work to recover from. Make sure you write down all your losses while it’s fresh in your memory for the insurance company. Best of luck to you!

Yes this! Reminds me I need to make a video and list of all my wine-making equipment for just such an emergency. I do that with my shop as well.

That wine has to be at least $30-40 a bottle right?

Right, $30 or $40 a bottle for the insurance loss.

Ugh! Sorry to hear about fire/loss! Hopefully nobody was hurt & house/vino operations recovery will be quick!

It's hard to take sometimes, but as long as you're OK that's the main thing. Just remember the old winemaking proverb. "Time and Patience."

 

[BernardSmith]

Wow! I feel your loss. That's an awful start to the relatively young year. So very sorry. Commiserations.
