Browsing CT and noticed that 2 folks drank over 100,000 bottles between themselves. That is 8 - 9 years of WS tasters.

PVCC & Pluckemin must spend a lot of time with the glas.

There are 9 folks that consumed over 10,000 wines.

Yikes!!

iirc, there a few restaurants that use it to manage their inventory.

Speaking of the CT "Drank" tracking, does anyone else have it set to automatically "tweet" what you consume or buy and log into CT? It's basically the only thing I tweet and I keep getting more followers.

that's not humanly possible.

50k bottles even if you were a heavy drinker and drink 2 bottles a day, it would still take you 66 years.

BS i say.

Pretty sure bottles consumed include bottles drank, traded, or sold also... LCBO return policy cranks up my consumption.

I know at least Pluckemin Inn is a very wine-centric restaurant in Jersey, I think they have retail sales as well.

Ever since I've been on CT, they've been at or near the top of the charts.

Still, it's astounding the size of some of the cellars on there. The entire first page of CT members by bottle count is 5800 and up

I would venture a guess that this might be one of the many Pine Valley Country Clubs that exist in the US. It would certainly account for all the bottles consumed.

Sounds like a challenge for T-Bird?

"consumed" on CT does not mean you drank a bottles worth of wine (except for T-Bird).

Who knows. Maybe those people have liver transplants every 10 thousand bottles.
