I was wondering how many bottles you have in stock (wine cellar) and what's
"fermenting.
I have 750 + in my "stock" all home made + Local winery bottles 50+,
fermenting 24 gal of Wineexpert limited editions, 6 gal Strawberry white
merlot, 6 gal cran-raspberry, 6 gal "mixed fruit".
On order 30 gal of Chilean Juice

Funny you should mention this...

I've been slowly expanding my 'empty' bottle collection for my future
growth. I've got around (now) equivalent 750ml (tons of magnums). So
right now...

15 gallons Cab Sauv
30 gallons Chard
5 gallons Zin
5 gallons Pinot Grigio
10 gallons mead

and 20 gallons beer in assorted types. But the wife makes that.

The wine rack, hand built, was designed to hold quite a few bottles but
has felt very empty since I started making wine. About the only thing
I buy now is the occasional French Bordeaux / St. Emillion and cases of
Banrock Estates. First I love the bottles/labels Banrock uses and you
can buy a 1 L bottle for around $4.50. Considering it is pretty decent
wine especially given the price. The rack, however, is lonely... maybe
I'll bottle the 10 gallons of the chard sooner and blend away the last
5 with the stuff undergoing MLF.... Given that...
15 bottles of assorted white (Fingerlakes region, NY)
10 bottles assorted Red
5 bottles Champagne (ya never know...)
15 bottles 'nice' bordeaux
and about 25 bottles 'reserves' that I'm not allowed to know about that
the wife keeps in a wine fridge elsewhere.

While I was courting my wife (a wine lover) I had that rack fully
stocked with everything you could want- including a minimum of two
bottles of Dom just in case she wanted them. Now that we're married if
I buy her beer supplies she's excited

I just hope I can continue to make great wines- and this group is
definately instrumental in making that possible.

600 bottles in Rack
40 gallons in barrel(s)
62 gallons in Carboy(s)

Around 100 gallons in carboy or barrel and around 600 to 800 bottled.
I'm traveling and guesing on the cellar, it's pretty full.

2 batches of beer get bottle this week too.

I started in August 2005:

100 bottles empty (see carboys below)
90 bottles in stock (Cranberry, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Peach-Mango,
Apple, Pumpkin, etc.)

22 gallons in carboys for July bottling (Syrah, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris)
6 gallons in primary (Mango)fruit was on sale for 3/$1.

Boy, I thought I was getting outta hand until I see the other replies.
phew. I bought 3 low wine racks that fit behind my couch and out of
sight. (no basement yet)I have cases of wine stacked in closets all over
the house.

Have to print out your replies to justify to wife my growing hobby,
