2022 - A family mini-bar (DIY) for leisure 🍹🍹


The Covid-19 pandemic has prevented me from backpacking for the past two years and this year. Stay home, stay safe, healthy and be happy. We got creative by making a minibar for spending leisure time with kids at home. At the same time to showcase some of my personal expensive vintage cognac collections from 1979 are listed below.

- Martell Cordon Bleu selling @ RM752
- 1979 Cognac XO Otard @ 159 euro or RM735
- 1979 Hennessy XO Cognac @ USD207 or RM871
- 1979 Prince Hubert fine Cognac VSOP @ S$150 or RM460
- 1979 Martell Cordon Noir Napoleon Cognac @ USD158 or RM662

The most expensive value is the 1979 Hennessy XO Cognac @ USD207 or RM871. All these vintage Cognacs were actually bought for my wedding dinner in 1979 from a duty-free shop when I was working in Penang Public Bank costing about RM23 a bottle. It was happiness for family members to uncork the bottles and to taste the drinks after a 42 long years. Many thanks to IKEA for the furniture parts and to my children for putting together.
