I do CT, but also do different color hanging neck tags. The tags are handy because my wife or anyone to go down to cellar, even if I’m not home and grab a particular color based on occasion/audience

CT user but I’m at ~100 bottles so not really necessary.
Related question: How do people keep track of when they want to check in on wines that need some age?
CT user, ~150 bottles across two fridges. I use CT to define locations (fridges) and bins (shelves). I use CT built in label maker printed on my inkjet to Avery labels. Took a little finagling and aligning but I have a saved template file that works perfectly now. It’s nice to have the barcode for relocating and consuming.

I used to meticulously track everything in Cellartracker and one day realized I spent more time with data input than wine consumption.
I just go by memory and if I find something I don’t remember the details of I look that bottle up.
If my cellar ever gets to the point where I can’t remember where I put the good stuff it’s probably time to slow down.

I’m a combination of #4 and #6. About 99% of everything I have is in Cellar Tracker (I don’t always enter bottles in CT that I intend to drink with a week or two). All of my wine is in weinboxes or cardboard boxes. I use each box as a bin location in CT and have paper labels on each box to identify the box number
The problem is that I’ve only cataloged about a third of the boxes. So I have precise locations on about 310 bottles and another 530 where I don’t necessarily know at any given time where they are (but I know I have them). Also, there’s no pattern to what’s in a particular box since I don’t sort by producer, region, vintage, etc., although Rieslings tend to stored together since the bottle shape is different. Like others, I keep a box on top for things I want to drink in the next couple of months that I find while digging through the un-cataloged boxes. I keep vowing I’ll finish cataloging everything, and I’m sure I will. Eventually. But it’s working for now.
I started with #4 and it is slowly morphing into #6.
