I grabbed 1 Il Caberlot mag and 1 Desire Lines Evangelho. Were I not in this thread, I’d have grabbed 3 of the latter.
Just think how low you can get given that there are still 7 months left in the year!

Too many deliveries and a few auction purchases makes June a problem with + 19 bottles. July is unfortunately looking difficult too 
Will need to get back on track after the summer holiday

For the “In” number, do we count bottles only once they are actually in the cellar?
If so, I’ve had a couple of really good months of mostly “out” . . . . If not, well the hell with all of you enablers!

Plus 21 for the first 6 months of the year after a couple of years making progress. Wines sent from New Zealand and Hardy Wallace are to blame. Will try to get to negative numbers before year end.

I’ve bought 17 bottles of wine this year. Don’t know exactly how many bottles I have consumed but >17 by a long shot

For my own tracking I always county based on the month I ordered

Once you own the bottle, irrespective of where it is, it is “in.” So ordering any pre-arrival counts as “in.”
You don’t have to count wine you purchase as a gift to be sent to others.

Well then, it seems I am in something of a cellar-inventory-reduction “hole” so far this year . . . . I am going to blame @Brian_S_t_o_t_t_e_r for teaching me about the “Devil’s Playground” aka WineBid. At my old age I had gone a lifetime having never once participated in any auction of any kind . . . and then along came Brian and his postings about PGC bottles from vintages 20+ years ago. After that . . . all hope was lost . . . .
