I'm suprised that 'still Champagne' did not make a more significant percentage....

Naah, I've no idea and couldn't be bothered working out %. Even with Brian's cellar managment program. Are you a frustrated mathematician? I just have a mix of varietal cabernet sauvignon and shiraz, some blends and just a few fortifieds (ports).

Actually have more scotch whiskys than ports, no stickies and no bubbles. The wines are all Australian, mostly a mix of SA and VIC. :? Haven't bought any WA or HV keepers for quite a while and have been leaning more to SA regions recently, the 'vale, coonawarra/limestone coast and some barossa.

I don't have a wine fetish, just enjoy drinking the ones I like, just like anyone.

What's your point? Though you do have a sad level of still white wine but hopefully you enjoy the ones you have gathered. Be quick, white wine is generally best young and fresh. :wink:

Cheers

ok some explanations for the less well educated amongst us

1. 'Still champagne' never occurs in my cellar. i drink them all before they go flat.

2. Unfortified port is accounted for. It sits under the 'Shiraz' tag

3. White Cabernet Sauvignon?? Is this the only way Australians will buy white wine?? Cant say ive seen it marketed here :lol:

apologise for any confusion caused.

Are you a frustrated mathematician?


just an extremely skillful and modest business analyst who is paid to produce useless statistics with effortless abandon

not "have" I said "have purchased". Wines you buy can either be sitting in the cellar or long consumed. Purchases do not equal Inventory. Now thats another query which you have to be a subscriber to access :lol: :lol:

Riesling is bought big but also consumed big

White Cabernet

Post by darby »

White Cabernet is not as crazy as it seems.

Cleggett in Langhorne Creek have a new variety Shalistin which originated as a sport on a Cabernet Sauvignon vine they make a still white wine from it.

Mann in the Swan Valley have a variety called Cynge blanc arose from a seedling in a Cabernet vineyard. They make a sparkler out of it, and there is a large planting near Robe on the Limestone Coast.

Your White total is far too high for this forum. You will need to get that down to less than 1% - all of which should be reisling.
Chardonnay: A drink you have when there is no RED wine, the beer hasn't arrived and the water may be polluted
