Random thought, if any kind of light source can ruin alcohol, especially wine; then why is it that at liquor stores they keep the expensive stuff of the top shelf which is exposed to the highest concentration of light. You'd think it would be the other way around.

Top shelf is in reference to expensive liquor. Wine stays in cellars for darkness and temperature control to age properly. It is to keep the good stuff out of reach of the barbarians, for the barbarians were somewhat short, making it difficult for them to pilfer without a step stool, or making a barbarian pyramid.
