I have about a dozen bottles - sitting by the sink. They are all empty. I have others, too. They have wine in them.

I ave 98 bottles. I just bought a new 6 foot wine cooler to replace the two small ones I've been using for the last several years and for the first time ever made a list of all the wines I have stored. I'd ideally love to have an actual cellar but that's a bit unlikely :(

I haven't counted but estimate between 300 and 400. They have certainly outgrown my wine cooler which is supposed to have a capacity for 240 bottles but holds less than that with pullout shelves.

When my computerised cellar book crashed about 7 years ago, I had some 2,300 bottles. Many less now :D .

Somewhere between 2700 and 2800 right now. Some daily drinkers and club shipments don't hit the inventory, hence the uncertainty band.

I have about 50 bottles of "store-bought" wine, about 250 bottles of home made and about 30 gallons waiting to be bottled.

We have four cases laid down for three to twelve years. We have room for around five cases in rotation, but that is way down right now due to other expenses on a fixed income.

Between 400 and 500 on any given month. It used to be more before the birth of our son.

According to cellartracker, 166 bottles - but I know that, generally, I have not added anything under $20 to that inventory for some time, so maybe 200 is a better number. (All stored in an undisclosed location in the Washington DC area. :wink: )

A lot. At least several hundred. More than I can store conveniently. (I have several unpacked cases just sitting around on the floor). Enough to be surprised regularly.... (when looking for something..."jeez, I forgot that I had that.") I'm just not into this specific quantification thing. But never too many.

Mine's definitely not bigger, but it gets used frequently.

You really shouldn't let Andrew drink so much at his tender age. :)

I'm around 1500. But I like some age, even on "lesser" bottles and so it's not like I have mostly 1sts and supersecond Bdx, GC or top PC Burgs, etc. I cellar Bourgogne, petit chateaux, Chinon, and the like. There are many people with more $$$ in a 400 bottle Eurocave.
