How many bottles are in your cellar?

Under 2000

I'm around the 500 mark

I have about 100 now. And capacity in the rack for 300ish.

My wife really wants to see it full and I'm happy to work to that goal... I have only a couple of carboys on the go (one is being made for someone else) so I'll need to step things up.

Currently, I have about 350 on the shelves and another 150 in some stage of bulk activity. Since I am retiring in May and traveling in our RV, I am letting my inventory decline. At its peak, I was around 650 bottles plus carboys.

 

[Bodenski]

OMG! Tell me these are like gigantic bottles...

Sadly no. I'm just acting like i "love" wine apparently. Kind of like I say we're dating, but wine says "oh no, he's just a good friend."

 

[crcarey]

Sadly just over 100. My goal is 1000, but I just started making wine 2 years ago so I'll get there soon.

 

[Johnd]

Currently, 700 bottles, 14 magnums, 2 double magnums, one 5 liter bottle, plus about 525 bottles worth still in carboys or barrels.

If we'd stop drinking it we'd have a lot more!

Here too. I think we've got about 200 in the bottle and another 150 in carboys. I'm thinking I need to make 150-200 per year to keep my stocks at the proper level.

We have 750 ish on the wall & in chillers. Another 350 ish in carboys. About maxed out with these numbers. Roy

 

[Putterrr]

i'm around the 400 mark give or take. also running 12 carboys and currently have 7 kits in line (couldn't pass up recent sales). usually make around 20 dozen beer and a cider or 2 each year. told my wife that if she insists we give up drinking, i will need at least 3 years notice.

cheers

I quit counting.......

 

[jgmann67]

All this wine and I'm guessing everyone is thinking - "not enough."

 

[mikewatkins727]

I got 329 bottles, 51 have something in them. Backstage is 2 - 3 gal carboys (Raspberry & apple), 2 gallons of mint, 1 gallon dandylion & 2 gallon of jalapeno (cooking only, too hot)

I have 3 "Jeroboam" sized ones. That's big enough for me!

How do you cork those?

 

[ibglowin]

Bought them from Columbia Crest and Costco. Have not opened any yet. All H3.

I found that you can purchase corks for them from Valley Vintner but they are not cheap. Like $4 ea and you can compress them enough with your floor corker to get them inserted partway and then you pound them in the rest of the way with a wooded mallet.

[Boatboy24]

They fit in the floor corker? Wow.
