Re: Organizing a Cellar-suggestions needed

Congratulations on your new cellar! I have 2 Eurocaves (260 model) and have the same frustration that you are now experiencing. Over the course of a couple of years, I have finally found a decent system that works for me.... The top of one unit gets champagne and sparkling wines (2 shelves), the middle gets everyday white wines (2 shelves) and everyday red wines (2 shelves). Below this I put stuff that needs some time, but not a lot of it (2-5 year range) and pull it up as needed. These also work for special occasion wines. The very bottom holds magnums. The other unit is exclusively used for longer term (Bordeaux, Barolo, etc.) stuff and is arranged in no particular order.

As to software, we drink wine just about everyday and so managing it to a specific location has proved to be difficult. (If the computer happens to be right next to the cooler, that might be a different story). I use Cellar! software

to manage my inventory, but keep it to Eurocave 1 or Eurocave 2 only.

Again, this works for me. Hopefully you will find a solution that works for your needs.

Cheers, Gary

To take a little tangent, because of the type of storage mentioned in the original post, one method of maintaining the d'base for me is to use the bottle neck tags (I realise that the type of storage originally mentioned, precludes these), and stack them on a counter for later logging-out in the d'base. I've just added a wireless g network, so the laptop should work in the cellar (damned, I wish I'd run Cat-5, when I built it!!!), so maybe I can just log the stuff out, as I take it upstairs. Until I try that, and migrate my d'base to laptop, the stack of tags works well to clear wine from the computer.
