What will come first, end of lockdown or empty wine racks? (1 Viewer)

[Bucket]

Here's the thing, I always bring back enough wine to see me through to the next travelling season (with a little bit to spare of course ). Currently I'm down to 38 bottles. As I get though about two a week that means I have about 19 weeks before it's all gone. I calculate panic starts back end of May. How long do the rest of you have?
I should add I'm aware of the new duty free rules, luckily SWMBO doesn't indulge

Alcohol can be delivered.
The status of visiting breweries and off licences for takeaway alcohol can be different between our member countries & tiers though, iirc

edit: just for beer stock I've 64 bottles of beer, one 5L mini keg & if desperate - 24 bottles in my garage that are for my BIL
plus maybe 4 bottles of wine, spirits & mrskevenh's tipple (usually flavoured ciders things)

I had 80 bottles and am now to just 7 I think under new regs we can bring back 48 between us-I normally do 5 or 6 trips a year, so that will be enough (when we can get back over there)

38 bottles equals 38 days, well it does to me!

I’m down to 3 reds and 8 whites! Definitely going to run out before going again, never mind, time to support NZ and Australia.

Me too, although Dry Jan being imposed by SWMBO !! So lasting a bit longer

I don’t do any dry months, but if I did it would be February as it’s the shortest.

The time has come to rely on the Duxette to drink what wine I still have left. On medical advice I had to stop drinking wine altogether and limit my alcohol intake.

 

[suavecarve]

I ve got 2 5 litre boxes, 18 singular litres, and 24 bottles of wine.

I m with PaulyP on a bottle/litre a night but only 4 days out of 8 owing to work.

I have had to go and buy 6 crates of Boddingtons to ensure this wine lasts.

Fully intending to refill the reservoir in May (hopefully)

It's all well and good telling us what you've got but we need addresses too!

used to brew our own wine with wine kits and large plastic demijons with a heatedband around to keep temperature steady used to cork seal and label we could have 90 bottles brewing at a time and it was really good stuff, the hangovers werent to bad either, it worked out at 30p a bottle, it really was good stuff , id recomend anyone giving it a go
havent had a drink in 11 years now afterdoin 12 step programme but heyho the homebrew was great

 

[Lenny HB]

Down to about 8 or 10 bottles we have not bought wine in the UK for about 30 years. I think my daughters got some stock we can raid (SIL gave up drinking) don't need to feel guilty I'm certain she never paid me for it.

So much better when I retired

Do you deliver to Runcorn

 

[adt]

No chance of an empty wine rack as I get it delivered !
I do need to see it end though as my whisky collection has risen from around 6 bottles in the house to a current 34 and yes I am drinking too much of it.

 

[M-J]

It’s at time like this I miss my trade wine supply business with around 8,000 ish bottles in stock, although in a way I’m so glad I sold it years ago especially now with covid.

Dry January for me at the minute so the wife is only getting through a couple of bottles a week, not long now and I can have a few glasses. Going to try and stay off the beer or at least cut down. Middle of the first lockdown I was getting through an average of 40 - 50 bottles a week, plus wine and a few very heavy cocktail nights!

That Sir Steven bloke said there were under 33,000 in hospitals. DIfferent figure to what was said on teh daily update

Me? Too busy, but a Courier Delivery (2-5 days processing time and no delivery Sat-Mon) is £5.99
P&P often free if you like lots of beer

(we know that I switched in a brewery's address, right?)

I wasn’t very impressed with myself, cut back pre Christmas, had a few over Christmas and now 25 days, 17 hours and 52 minutes sober, not that I’m counting!

I'm probably O.K. for a year or so as I don't drink beer or spirits and still have the bottle of St Emilion that I brought back from my last trip in September 2019.
