The Cummings’ collection is around 4,500 to 5,000
bottles strong, comprising wines for drinking and those
for investment. The cellar even includes dedicated
storage for Malcolm’s collection of over 500 single
malt whisky bottles.
“We’ve made the most of our cellar, getting so much in
but ensuring it feels spacious,” says Malcolm. It’s become
one of Malcolm’s favourite rooms in the house. “I find it
a relaxing environment. It’s a great de-stresser. And the
smell of the American white oak is to die for.”
Entertaining is important to the Cummings. “I love
hosting dinner parties. My favourite part is chatting to
guests pre-dinner, finding out what kind of wine they like
and then taking them to the cellar to pick out three or
four bottles to open up and enjoy. It’s a great moment!”
