who's taking more places?

[Frederick Blais]

Who is your Port/wine producers that is accounting for the most places in your cellar and why?

For me, obviously it is Niepoort and most of the bottles where brought back from Portugal unfortunately. Mainly because he is making good wines and Port and I like to drink both. It is taking roughly 7% of my cellar space.

And you?

[Andy Velebil]

Fred,

Good question and like you, mine is Niepoort also. I love his VP's, and especially his Colheita's and dry wines. Niepoort is by far what I have the most of in my cellar and makes up about 15% of cellar space.

It will come as no surprise to Derek - who has already analysed my cellar to identify that I suffer from CVD - for me to say that my cellar is dominated by Vesuvio. I'm happy to say that this is a complete vertical running from 1989 to 2004.

However, I should also own up to the fact that because of this vertical it makes up about 45% of my port. The next largest shipper is Fonseca with about 10%. Niepoort only makes up about 2% of my port stocks.

Lucky I like Vesuvio wines!

As I do go wines other than solely VPs, my occupier is Grahams because of a big stock of LBVs and Tawnies, followed by Taylors and Vesuvio.

For me it's Taylor with about 8% of the cellar. Fonseca is second (7%) and Niepoort (both wine and port) third (5%).

[StevieCage]

I should take inventory again, but last time it was Taylor and Dow almost equal at 10% each.

vesuvio and then niepoort, taylor, dow for me

Some vin de table too

In terms of gross number of bottles per producer, Morgan takes top spot

For greatest number of vintages, Taylor triumphs at 16, with Dow and Fonseca following at 13 each.

Mmm. Tom's made me think differently about my answer. Listed above is the proportion of my port cellar (which is 78% of the wine I own) that is Vesuvio or Fonseca, but reading Tom's answer made me wonder what the reply would have been in terms of vintages covered.

The answer was Vesuvio with 14 (no surprise there) and then Noval with 9 followed by Grahams, Taylor and Fonseca with 7 each.

Out of curiosity, I also worked out the shipper I had with the greatest gap between oldest vintage and youngest vintage. Surprisingly (to me, anyway) this was Vargellas followed by Taylors.

Longest is Cockburn: 1904 - 1997, followed by Delaforce: 1917 - 2003

Graham's takes up most space in my cellar at 14% followed by Fonseca at 13%

The widest gap belongs to Fonseca at 1965 to 2000 (a couple of months ago that was 1920 to 2000)

The most individual vintages is a tie between Graham's and Fonseca at 7, closely followed by Noval Nacional at 6
