Just did an inventory yesterday, and found 6-7 "Missing Presumed Drunk" wines.

Suckification indeed.

I joined CT on January 4, 2011. In the intervening years, I had never conducted a full physical inventory until I relocated the bulk of my wine from offsite to my newly constructed home cellar last year. Since then, it has taken me until today to fully update CT with the results. Do I suck at CT?

Yes, yes I do:

Missing, presumed drunk: 92
Purchases never logged: 25

I mean, in the grand scheme of things, that's no so bad, right?

The first thing I find is a 2006 Abeja Cab Sauv mag that I marked as missing a year ago. Yup, I suck at CT. At least it was easy to "undrink" it.

A different variation on how I suck at CT:

I've been dragging my feet on playing cellar Tetris to put away all of the shipments I've received over the last few months, and decided to finally tackle the job, with about 8 cases to find homes for. My cellar has double-deep racking, and each slot is labeled as a bin in CT for easy location when I want to pull a bottle. I exported my cellar to Excel so I could more easily identify both open slots and slots that had a single bottle so that I knew what kind of excess capacity* I was dealing with. That was all fine and dandy, but then, to my horror, I discovered that I had 3-4 bottles in some of the slots. A little investigation shows that I have 75 bottles in spots meant for 44. Hm.

Short of defying some laws of physics, the leading contender is that when updating CT when I first moved everything into the cellar from offsite, in my rush to be done with relocating ~900 bottles individually in CT, I fat fingered some, ending up, for example, with four bottles in LD10 (Left side, column D, row 10), instead of two in LD10 and two in LE10.

There may also be some "missing, presumed drunk" bottles in the mix. I have a culled list of problem bins, and I'll get them sorted out this weekend.


*After loading up the racks with fall/winter deliveries, there is no "excess capacity" in the racks. My overflow (since I have close to 900 bottles in a space with racking for 640) is stacks of Weinboxes on furniture dollies so that I can shift them around easily to reach the back columns of racks.

Ha! This helps explain why I could NEVER! use a row/column system. I am constantly grabbing and stuffing in the physical cellars/racks/frig with not much thought other than general vicinity. I rarely look for a specific wine, so that method works for me, but if I tried a CT system matching to individual slots it would be even more chaos.

I'd stop the audit on the positive note and call it good!
