About 5% white. Most whites we buy are consumed in the short term - only a few chards and rieslings are in the cellar. We probably drink 90% reds overall.
19.5% white, dominated by Riesling.

About 80% white wine. That being split into Riesling, Champagne, and a little Chenin. The remaining 20% would be Tempranillo and Pinot Noir. I still do not have enough whites. Fun post!
Right now it’s at about 27%…but I need to buy more whites as my significant other prefers whites to reds most, and I can’t seem to buy them fast enough. I would say, looking forward that for the next year or two my plan is to attempt to buy about 75% white & 25% red. I also think time of year is a huge factor…for me I drink mostly whites in summer.
Looking at this and my consumption over summer, I need to buy more whites. Nearly all of the ones I have right now are either champagne or Sauternes.
28% though I haven’t yet entered some of my 2015 Germany orders, so closer to 33%. Half is German riesling, the rest is more distributed - burgs, jura, california, bubbles.
I’m in the 0-10% range, having sold almost all my white Burgundy because of premox. Mostly Champagne.
I voted 10 but it closer to 14. Mostly Loire and Germany along with Rhys and Rivers Marie Chardonnay.
25% white in my cellar on any given day including 35 different varieties (variety is the spice of life!) which 33% is chardonnay from Cal/Fra.
Our consumption rate is more like 40% white/60% red. It is rare when we will go direct to a red wine when dining at home, preferring to start with the light stuff…
I dont know what i am more impressed with:
a) you can stroll in your cellar
b) you have a wing in your cellar for white wine
c) you and your wife discussed buying decisions together prior to making them.

Alan, I agree with this while still allowing that taste is subjective, but really I’m fine with not having more people chasing the same white wines I like. Let 'em have all the California cabs and Bore-Dough they want

As it stands, our cellar is 19.1% white, of which 42% is Riesling and 10% is bubbles, but on a consumption basis a little over 30% of the wine we drink is white, which is almost 50% equal parts Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc, and Riesling. We’ve recently gotten really into Riesling so I think the amount of cellar space taken up by white wine will be creeping up in the near future!
I’m surprised more people aren’t closer to an even split. I’ve always thought it was a bit odd that the first question I get asked when I meet new people who learn I am a wine lover is “do you like white or red?” The ubiquity of the question has always puzzled me a bit, and I’ve always sort of thought it must simply be the ignorance of the wine-oblivious masses that makes them even ask such a question - why would you choose one or the other when you can have both? But this thread shows a LOT more wine geeks than I would have guessed skew heavily in one direction or another.
It makes me wonder about the food choices of those who drink primarily red wine or primarily white wine. Good food/wine pairings are central to how we think about dining and drinking in my house. We have a very varied palate for food and wine. It makes me wonder if those whose wine choices skew heavily one way also find their food choices skewing heavily? Or am I just too limited in my thinking about what works in the pairing department?
I would say that 85% of our wine drinking is as a cocktail or in a tasting/think & drink setting so for us pairing fits in lightly at best, but we’re still pretty new to wine as a hobby and thus a lot of our consumption is on the “educational” side of things. We eat a wide variety of food and probably only drink wine with dinner a few times a month so at this point one doesn’t particularly influence the other in a general sense. We just got a Coravin so that is probably likely to change though 
I am at 35% (half Champagne) and rising. I find lately that most of my new purchases are Champagne, which I find the most versatile at food pairings. I’ve enjoyed a good bubbly with a dry aged filet, duck, and many other dishes one would not normally consider for Champagne. Since I stopped buying white burgs due to premox and have lost my interest in German Rieslings in recent years I’m sure that those numbers will continue to go up.
