New Zealand Miniature Bottle Club
NZMBCMember - Colin Todd
My Name is Colin Todd and I live in Birkenhead in Auckland. I started collecting bottles in the 1960's. I have always liked whisky and picked up a few bottles in a hotel whilst travelling as a sales manager. After I had a few I decided to turn it into a hobby. One day around the mid 1980's I went into Meenan's Wines and Spirits in Dunedin and saw an advert for Port Nicholson Miniature Bottle Club (now the New Zealand Miniature Bottle Club). I have been a member ever since. I retired in 1997 and went to the club AGM in Patea in 1998. It wass an eye opener when I saw Di Opie's collection as this was the first large collection I had seen. This made me very keen to progress my own collection. Not long afterwards I was invited to see Erica Mulder's collection and my eyes really boggled.
I collect straight Scotch whisky and have in recent years started collecting ceramic whiskies of all types in the shape of animals. My collection is about 1,000 bottles in total.

My Favorite Bottle
My favorite bottle is a Wedgwood Glenfidich. This combines the beauty of Wegewood pottery with my favorite tipple in a most unusual miniature.
