Ummm, when your bookshelf used to look like that, but now you find those books boring. Now you want to taste the wines those writers didn’t.

When you start thinking what to pull for the evening’s wine while you are putting the morning coffee on. Even worse is when you are selecting from wines that made the weekly pull from the cellar.

[Albert_H]

the only emails you look forward to every morning are wine deals

catching yourself swirling your morning coffee

trying to taste different flavor profiles in everything you drink

You ask the server to put the warm bottle of red he/she just opened for you in an ice bucket.

This is one of the few things that sometimes gets the “you are an idiot” look from the server, they are so sure they know better. Most places, even good ones, often serve reds too warm. We should stop using the term “room temp” and call it “castle temp”.

Also asking for white wine glasses for the champagne

My case was $85@ before shipping.

I got free shipping.

When you use a bottle of Port is as a bookend?

Looks like the other bookend is a mag!!

You learn greetings in the parcel delivery people’s languages.

[Brian_Tuite]

You consolidate your wines to one active cellar, see empty slots and immediately go to the store to buy wine to fill the holes.

When you go thru this pic looking at each title to determine if you read it, if you have it and if you don’t, you go to Amazon and put it in your favorites for future ordering (or just order it right then).

[John_O]

You swear you will organize your cellar and take an inventory when you get it down a few hundred bottles… And then proceed to keep ordering more at about the same rate you consume.

[Steve_Brickley]

This is your grocery list to bring home from the “store” aka storage.

You beat me to it Loren

When you checkout the bin at the recycling center to see what others are drinking and upon seeing some interesting empties wonder who brought those in and hope to cross their path.

[Doug_Lee]

Your only reason for not purchasing a bottle of wine is your belief that you won’t be around 30 years later when it’s barely ready to drink. As much as you love your children.

@Chris Seiber

You deliberately buy nice stemware as gifts for friends and relatives so you can use them when you bring good wines over to share.

…because you feel it’s your responsibility!

[Karl_K]

You read WineBeserkers.

[Scott_Brunson]

When you choose wines for the week before you choose food for the week, and EVERY trip to the grocery store is carefully planned to highlight food pairings for the wines you have chosen.
