Same here. I was collecting wines for a tasting from my cellar cabinet and I accidentally put one bottle down on uneven surface so it tipped over and cracked on concrete floor.
So far all my other bottles have remained in one piece. Including also all the hundreds of bottles I’ve purchased abroad and brought over in checked luggage
Me too, as I am also a 58 baby
I just cried thinking how old you boys are!

Last night, my daughter did a slightly over-enthusiastic “cheers” with her glass of milk. It’s a Gabriel Glas, and I’ve never seen a nice, clean hole like this. Also sad is that we had to toss her untouched plate of dinner because the stem was right above her plate and it was immediately soaked in 2018 Matthews Cellars Cuvée. 
I’ve been drinking/buying/moving/collecting wine for 35 years and think I’ve only broken a couple of bottles till this week (stems and decanters are another story, though usually that is someone else breaking mine). But Monday I was looking for stuff for a Loire tasting and set a few bottles on an empty cardboard box that apparently wasn’t balanced well. It tipped over and 3 bottles fell on concrete. One survived, but a 2014 F Cotat Chavignol rose and a 1995 Joguet Verennes du Grand Clos died. My shoes and office basement smelled nice though. A lesson to be more careful, but also a reminder that I should use 6 pack flats instead of the 2 layer 12s (it was moving the wine from top layer to see what was below that caused issue).

Not breakage, but maybe worse. We’re in the midst of a 2 1/2 week road trip. This morning, I left a Roederer 242 and a 2022 Chavy-Chouet Meursault Les Charmes in our hotel refrigerator in Big Sky Montana. No corkage tonight in Spokane.
Ouch. We’ll be there this winter. Can you ask them to hold it for us?
Always tip the housekeeping staff.
Room #, please?
I am the forgetful type, so my solution to this kind of thing is to put my keys in the fridge the night before 
Not breakage but wife opened and had a glass of Desire Lines Riesling last night, put it in our wine fridge with one of these suckers in it:
Mid-meeting this morning I hear a pop and what sounds like someone dumping a bucket of water and it slowly trickling down. Yada yada yada I spent the next hour removing/cleaning ~50 bottles and shelving and know that smell/stickiness is never going to leave the unit. Could have been worse I guess!
was at an OL sunday, awesome group, and the wine and glasses cases were lined up on a bench to the side of the table. One of the guys relocates to the bench for conversation, and doesnt move the cases, but rather uses my glasses case as a backrest. bye-bye one GGG.
I had a “two-for” the other day when, while hand-washing some dishes my Peet’s stoneware mug slipped out of my hands, fell into the other dishes in the rinse sink and took out my French press.
That’s a bummer. FWIW, I have had good luck with the Oxo wine stoppers. I bought them to try and they do pretty well for 24 hrs imho. No issues putting the bottle on its side
Knocked an (empty) Grassl Cru off the end table and onto the front room tweed rug. Landed on the corner of my laptop that was sitting below, shattered the wine glass. Those Cru glasses are paper thin . . . and when broken the result is a large number of really thin and narrow glass shards. That was fun . . . .
knocked a bottle off the top of a rack. was afraid to look at what it was
thankfully it was a $10 bottle of plonk one of my neighbors recently gave me that I
was going to re-gift
Terry, when one does something this grand, one must take a picture for posterity!
