Lot After Sodom

Gen 19:30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.
Gen 19:31 And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.
Gen 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”
Gen 19:33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
Gen 19:34 The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”
Gen 19:35 So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
Gen 19:36 Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.

Now what is strange about this story? Ahh yes the WINE. So this is the scenario. Lot and his two daughters escape Sodom and end up in a cave. Where did the WINE come from? Was there a secret stash in that particular cave? They couldn't have carried enough wine with them to make Lot blotto. Wine salesman showed up. Really?

Anyone want to speculate on this one?
