Purchases 118
Consumption ~155

Still above cellar capacity so I might drop one club shipment. Overall not bad....I felt like I kept my purchasing in check overall.

Not too bad. This year I would like to see something closer to even - maybe 144 purchased and consumed. Although my new cellar is almost complete and I'll have space for an additional ~ 600 bottles over my current maxed out capacity, I don't want to go crazy and use it all up right away.

91 purchased
161 consumed including many gifts and cellar reconciliation
BOTH all-time lows for us
Plus another 100+ bottles sold.
Cellar count is definitely in reduction mode

Purchased: 524, plus about 120 more pending (I don't typically add wines until they are in my possession). Also bottled about 75 home brew from 2020 vintage yesterday.
Consumed: 183 plus miscellaneous home brew not tracked.

Added about net 500 or so to my Cellar in last half of this year to celebrate being alive.

Hell ya, that's how you do it. I would do the same if I went through what you went through.

CranBurgundy will have to rule on the naughty or nice. That's beyond my pay grade.

This year for me was also my lowest # of purchases since I started CT, circa 2008

Purchases pretty much stopped after the first quarter of the year as we began the transition to Maine. now that we are in Maine we (I) am purchasing at a pretty steady rate to replace what we currently consume. once we purchase the permanent residence this spring purchasing will go back up to increase the cellar backup to more appropriate levels.

Somewhat down on the last couple of years because Sabrina spent a large part of the year on the wagon whilst preparing to climb Kilimanjaro (and Kinabalu, and Everest Base Camp, and Touklab)! And also of course because with the hysteria largely over there was much more drinking in bars and restaurants rather than from my "cellar".

You know, your quoting me made take another look. Upon closer inspection, I suck at math. I’ve been at this for 16 years, as well.

It seems many of us CT board old timers joined around the same time. I was caught off-guard when Hollow indicated he’d been on CT a year less than me because that didn’t feel right; then I saw my math error. Crazy how time has gone by …

(Good reason for the low consumption level, which probably accounts for the high purchases too - The first four months of the year saw me recovering from Chemo and Radiotherapy for tongue cancer, with a total lack of taste buds at that time, which gradually came back, as did the consumption as we neared the Christmas period).

Belated Merry Xmas, and an Early Happy New Year to all fellow winos -

Hugs from Dubs...
