The Underground City Of Wine

Looks like my kind of place.

Milestii Mici is a small settlement, located south of Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. It might not look like much , but it sits atop the greatest wine cellar in all of Europe. The cellars of Milestii Mici hide approximately 2 million bottles of wine, of which 1,5 million are collection wines. The cellar complex under Milestii Mici is also the biggest one in Europe, stretching over 250km.
