Monthly check-in: Cellar inventory reduction plan

[David_Baum]

11 out and probably one more tonight
Nothing in

Turning the tide

[brodie_thomson]

A very good May aided by some sales.

Bought: +6
Sold: -32
Inventory: -3
Drank: -32

Net: -59

Needed a strong result in May as we are away for 6 weeks in Jun & July so zero consumption but buying is unlikely to stop…

We were traveling for most of May, but still managed to do well.

In: 10
Out: 20
Net: -10

Back on track with 3 negative months in a row. Some people on this thread wouldn’t even count thethis month’s purchases at all, as they were rose sippers, but I hold myself to a stricter standard.

[David_Glasser]

Drank eight.
Bought none.

May was a winner.

Several releases I couldn’t resist pretty much negated the large majority of the progress achieved through multiple wine dinners and wine gatherings, but I did end up negative so, baby steps in the right direction.

• BOUGHT: +42

• OPENED: -52 (including 1 poxed (‘19 Roulot Aligote))

• NET: -10

• SINCE I STARTED in March 2025: +126

Turned out even better than reported! We attended a neighbor’s BBQ last night, and ended up running home to make up for their miscalculation on how much wine would be needed.

Net: -15

[Dav3_Dyr0ff]

+4 for May, my first net monthly increase for 2026. Not terrible considering I have a 2025 grandchild and ordered some large formats from Bdx EP (with a few more to come in June).

-24 YTD

[Chris_C_a_r_y]

Clean May.

Purchased: zero
Consumed: 21
Net: -21

YTD

Purchased: 80

Progress!

10 in
16 out
Slowly reducing. Some parties coming up in June/July that will reduce a lot

[BLittle]

net minus 21 for the month… online shopping not as fun when shipping season just ended (though I got my WHWC and Sandlands last week in the last window before Summer).

minus 22 to for the year

@Uli_K

April: 13 out, 10 in - net 3 decrease. Second month of reduction in a row, the trend holds. Could have even even better if it wasn’t for the Apollo’s Praise Spring release.

May: 12 out, 28 in - net 16 increase. Epic derailment driven by Bedrock, Sandar & Hem and Windy Oaks releases, followed by a Württemberg and Baden tour (trip report shortly).

[Noah_C]

Down another 12. Slowly but surely continuing the decrease!

[JBierly]

12 in (none delivered)
28 out
Cleared out a spot on the cellar floor.
Small steps!

[Robert_Pollard-Smith]

Zero in, two out.
I liver dangerlessly.

With so little drinking, your liver is in no danger.

Spirits and beer are on assignment.
