The down side to living in the countryside

I just returned from the wine cellar with a bottle of 2001 Anfora zinfandel, from Puglia. While I was in there, I noticed that the two bars of Waitrose French chocolate [thanks Dad!] both had tiny bite marks in them; there were a few tiny mouse turds next to the chocolate as well. What the hell? They weren't gnawed at last time I checked in June...

Upon closer inspection, the little bastards chewed through the drywall next to the door into the cellar. Amazing. Well, time to bend some metal and nail it to the inside of the wall. I don't know if mice can damage wine bottles, but I don't want to find out!
