Trends in cellaring of wine

[Innkeeper]

Hi Dave, welcome to the Wine Board. Don't know of any surveys, but if you start to take one, you will have to narrow your parameters. "People who cellar wine" include all sorts of folks. It includes "collectors" some of whom hardly or never drink wine. It includes people who don't "age" anything, but keep a "cellar" of some number of bottles that they hope to drink before they go bad. Most keep some portion of their cellar to age, and the rest as a temporary holding area. Some very serious wine drinkers don't keep any more wine in house than then can drink in a week or two. There are probably as many variations as there are collector/drinkers. Really don't know what the "averages" of all this is going to do for anybody. That's just my opinion, maybe others will be more helpful.
