What % of your wine cellar is Port?

[Todd Pettinger]

Interesting responses to this topic.

I went downstairs and counted... 80 bottles (where'd they all come from??? I just started collecting this stuff!) consisting of 64 bottles of port and 16 "others"

Non Port:
1 Madeira
2 whites (1 Riesling & 1
3 Ice Wines
7 Champagne (3 very VERY cheap)
3 Bordeaux


Of the Port:
8 - 10 YOT
3 - 20 YOT
2 - 30 YOT
8 - LBVs (7 unfiltered, 1 'daily drinker')
2 - Colheitas
The rest (41) are VPs and SQVPs. (The sad past about this is that only 3 bottles are from the 70's (all 77's). 3 from the 80s with the majority being from the 2000's.)
I'm working on bringing the average age of the cellar up as I expand my Port collection :)

For me about the third of my cellar is port, about 100 bottles of port.
50% of those are vintages, 25% are LBV's and the rest mainly tawny's, some colheitas and regular everyday port.

I am at about 10% out of some 1200 bottles. I'd like it to be more, but I keep drinking it.....

The rest of my cellar is around:
45% Italy (predominantly Piedmont - Barolo/Barbaresco, then Tuscany, then rest of Italy)
35% France (predominantly Burgundy, then Alsace, then Bordeaux - mostly '86, then a smattering of Southern Rhone)
5% Germany
5% rest of world (Australia, US, Hungary)

I'm rather big on Old World.

My cellar is about 80% port (not 90% as I estimated the answer to the same question that was asked of me over the weekend), 10% bordeaux (being drunk and not replaced because of the ludicrous pricing), 5% Aussie and 5% other stuff.

About 40% Port followed by mostly California wines, a few Burgundies, and almost no Bordeaux (any more).
