What to do with 170 bottles of wine + cooler

I looked into that - from what I read on ebay wine is not considered a collectible since the value is more in the wine itself, so while they do allow some merchants to sell alcohol I'm not allowed. Craigslist will likely be good for the cooler but I saw no wine listed in my area and suspect serious wine buyers may not trust sellers who among other things don't pay for the ads.

This is what I was thinking when Darrell mentioned a charity auction. Our church used to have auctions all the time to raise money for their school and there were always cases of wine auctioned off. Not saying it's legal but it didn't seem to attract any attention.
