Need a loan? Pawn your wine

A shelf holding several very dusty bottles of wine.I know times are tough (aren't they always?). We may be on the verge of a recession and a lot of people are worried, and maybe some are thinking of turning to a pawnbroker. Well, if you're in Paris, now you can pawn your wine!

The Crédit Municipal de Paris is now accepting wine as collateral for loans to its customers. Leave it to the French to pawn wine. A spokesman for the pawnbroker says that this move attracts customers who wouldn't want to pawn jewelry or the like, but a valuable bottle of wine is discreet enough to remove from the home.

I hope it never comes to the point where I need to pawn my valuables to pay bills, but I guess I'd have to have valuables to begin with. Maybe I should start collecting wine, just in case!
