I used MS Access to create a database. With it, I'm able to enter new bottles, when I got them, how much paid and where they are in the cellar (and anything else I want, such as where purchased, tasting notes, etc.). I have a printout I use, sorted by wine type then vintage (also winery, vineyard, bottle size, cellar location) and as I pull a bottle, I cross it off the list (and date it when I remember). Periodically, I can go back in and update the file moving the drunk bottles to an archive and putting in any new bottles. Of course that's the ideal, but I haven't been doing the archiving - just deleting drunk bottles from the database. It was easy to create, and it is useful, because I can sort it anyway I want - by wine type, vintage, winery, or whatever.
