who's taking more places?
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?

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!

Mine is Grahams
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.

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.

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
