I'm not cutting back, in fact I've been told to "pick up the pace" on my wine purchases.  Did I ever mention how much I love my wife?

 

Of course, this is off a small base.  I only have 6 active mailing lists ... QC, Le Cadeau, Kistler, Bressler, Hansel, and Stefania.  To me they all offer a good value for what they are.  I'm not interested in flipping, nor am I intersted in buying a wine based on Parker points.   I'm on zero waiting lists, and I'm OK with that.

 

Most of our purchases are typically dry whites of varying levels of complexity for varying levels of everyday drinking occasions.  We probably open only one bottle of red wine per week in the summer, which seems to last most of the year in this part of the country.

 

So NO, the economy isn't impacting us at all.  In fact, our local economy doesn't feel any different, and our personal situation has only gotten better.  Whatever changes we're making in our purchasing & consumption are being driven personal tastes and/or storage limitations, as mentioned by many others.
