Thus is was agreed that a communal wine cellar should be established, from which every member was free to make 'deposits' when they had extra wine and take 'withdrawals' if the need arose - paying back the latter with a steep 50% 'interest' the following harvest. A novel system of keeping track of the accounts using long wooden sticks with lines carved into them was devised. Extra wine from the cellar was also sold, with all the proceeds going to things such as maintain pathways, renovating the town church and paying for funerals. Due to the accounting involved the cellar is often referred to the town's Wine Bank. Visits to the cellar can be arranged in advance. Admission is €60 for up to 20 people, and €3 per person for larger groups.
