18 & just starting

[WendyBird]

Hi.
I am 18 and I would like to start a wine collecting... Yes I know I am not old enought to buy or drink it but I would still like to start. To collect wine do I need to buy and special equipment? Do I need to choos a brand that I want to collect or a color. Are their any books I should buy? I alredy bought the Idiots guid to wine but I forgot it at work and I am very interested in know what others have to think. If you have any ideas for young new commer please offer them.

Thank you
WendyBird
