Wine Cellar

Jim Patterson, our cellar master has updated the cellar list, which is available on the blog spot, see LINK. He makes some interesting comments as follows:-

I thought it may be interesting to compare the changes in the Society's Wine Cellar since 1993 (My first Cellar List!)

Compared to my recent Stock take:

Australian Whites are up from 136 to 148 (a 9% increase)

Australian Reds down from 1139 to 764 (a 33% decrease)

Imported Whites up from 160 to 240 (a 50% increase)

Imported Reds down from 369 to 290 (a 21% decrease)

Fortified Wines down from 191 to 138 (a decrease of 28%)

Sparkling Wines up from 50 to 80 (an increase of 60%)

The total wine stock has reduced from 2045 bottles (170 dozen) to 1660 bottles (138 dozen) - a reduction of 19%.

This as a good illustration of changing trends and the influence of different Cellar masters over that period.

Thanks, Jim
