Organising a wine cellar

I will soon be moving my wine collection from the cupboards in my house into a purpose built cellar. Has anyone got any thoughts on the best way to organise a cellar? Maybe by producer, variety, region, vintage or a combination of these? Or is it easier to just allocate shelf numbers and use the computer to do the organisation?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I use Bin codes - Alpha for the storage unit, and a numeric for the shelf/bin and put wines of a single vintage in each bin and use a database to keep track of it all. The database can show all the groupings you mention and more.
