Mileștii Mici, a Moldovan wine cellar
Preparing one of the salons, 60 metres underground, for tasting the wines in the cellar at Mileștii Mici, a Moldovan wine producer located in the commune of Mileștii Mici. The limestone in the galleries maintains constant humidity (85–95%) and temperature (12°C – 14°C) throughout the year. The cellars extend for 200 kilometres, of which only 55 kilometres are currently in use. Mileștii Mici was registered in the Guinness World Records as the biggest wine collection in the world with nearly 2 million bottles.
