Any advice about which one is the most efficient/remunerative way (storylets and cards in London) in which i can grind cellars of wine?
Most of the ones i checked are 1 echo/actions, but i'm sure - somewhere - i can find some better way to accumulate booze.
Thanks!

I know that Cellars can be obtained via the Hound of Heaven story (I believe the Bishop gives them in return for Hounds) but I could be very mistaken. Even if I'm correct, it's a bloody lot of work and even though I haven't done the math, I doubt it adds up to something reasonable.
My method is through grinding Broken Giant via "Assist the Face" at the end of the Foreign Office story loop, however I believe this requires you to have access to the fate-locked "Mysteries of the Foreign Office" branch, and it may require you to side with the Face (double-checking as we speak). If you should happen to have these prerequisites or are able to obtain them, it's definitely the fastest way of accumulating Broken Giant that I've found.
Give me a day and I can figure out the math.
EDIT: Yup, you need to side with the Face.

I haven't access to the Foreign Office as I never wanted to be exiled from Court. For Cellars of Wine I usually used the Velocipede Squad to grind Broken Giant and then convert, but there's also the option to grind Strangling Willow Absinthe from the Affair of the Box and then convert, pocketing the extra Correspondence Plaques (it's a strategy suggested by Spacemarine9).

If you have access to Bundles of Oddities that give you 1-8 Compromising Documents, then you could convert the documents into Cellars of Wine:
55.56 Actions to get 250 Compromising Documents
5 Actions to convert them to 255 Memories of Light (+2.5 Echoes)
5 Actions to convert 250 Memories to 255 Zee-Ztories (+2.5 Echoes)
5 Actions to convert 250 Zee-Ztories to 255 Strangling Willow Absinthe (+2.5 Echoes and Making Waves +30 CP or so)
5 Actions to convert 250 Strangling Willow Absinthe to 50 Broken Giant (+2.5 Echoes, Connected: The Church -25 CP)
2 Actions to convert 50 Broken Giant to 10 Cellars of Wine (+2 Echoes, Connected: The Church -40 CP)
Total: 77.56 Actions for 125 + 12 = 137 Echoes (1.77 Echoes per Action)
Not included chances for rare successes to get 2 x Uncanny Incunabulum or Searing Enigma, but also not counting the drop in Church connections.

The Whirring Contraption grind is annoying. I'm at 10 with another 20 to go for my Zub... I've ended up setting myself a target of one a day, in order that I get to do SOME other stuff.

You have my sympathies, A B Nile. The zub is a very jolly contraption, though, and the overseas content is well worth the effort of acquiring transportation.
