How do you figure? Food is at least as transient. A several hundred dollar bottle of whiskey can last years.

I know food is transient, that's why I used it as a comparison. And really, really good food is just good. On a very primeval and satisfying level.

I get collecting. I love it. And at that level I understand. But from a pure enjoyment level I do not.

Have you drunk high-quality whiskey neat? If all you're used to is cheap stuff or mixers then I can see why you might not see the attraction.
