No true survivalist would leave his wine cellar undefended in times of trouble. OTOH, the issues of TEOTWAWKI etiquette are worth considering. For example, while serving incendiaries to visiting marauders, I prefer a crisp, refreshing sauvignon blanc with just a hint of charred oak. The more robust reds go well with scatter gun affairs, and one shouldn't be afraid to serve an impudent, but amusing merlot for long distance encounters...
