Welcome to Avonmouth in Bristol, home to Europe’s largest alcohol warehouse. The warehouse stores 9,5 million gallons of wine. That’s enough to fill 15 Olympic-sized swimming pools. No spice.

The plant has been running 24/7 for the last two months, filling 780 000 bottles per day or nearly 800 bottles a minute in preparation for the festive season.

Every week 550 lorries arrive, load up and depart for stores in the UK and Europe – over 2 000 lorries in December. It holds the equivalent of 57 million bottles of wine – this is one for every adult in Britain, but about 11 million bottles left over.

That’s a lot of juice. All I’d need is a corkscrew and a straw. Kthxbai.
