How many gallons do you storage containers add up to?

[NorCal]

If you take all your storage containers; jugs, carboys, Spiedels, FlexTanks, barrels.. and added up the totals storage capacity, what would does it come out to?

Rules: It has to be a container you would put wine into now and could store wine in for long term aging (no retired barrels, broken containers, empty bottles).

I will confess my over abundance later.

I think I'm at 252. That was a from memory count and I may have missed a few 5 and 6 gallon carboys that I don't use very often.

 

[Johnd]

I currently have:
25 each - 6 gallon carboys
4 each -3 gallon carboys
6 each - 1 gallon
6 each - 1/2 gallon
1 each - 30 gallon French oak barrel from 2017 - full
1 each - 60 gallon French oak barrel from 2018 - full

That's 261 gallons.

Glad I got rid of the five 6 gallon and one 12 gallon Vadai barrels, cellar life is simpler.

I couldn't do it from memory, had to go down to the basement and do a count.

4-30gal Flextanks
4-15gal Demijohns
1-6gal carboy
10-5gal carboys
2-3gal carboys
5-1gal jugs
6-1/2gal jugs

Approximately 250 gallons total.
Admittedly I don't use the carboys as often, maybe 3 or 4 full at any one time, but I can't part with them as you never know when they'll come in handy.

12 pcs. - 5 gallon carboys
2 pcs. - 3 gallon carboys
4 pcs. - 1 gallon carboys

I can attest to these numbers as accurate to the rules...and not only is there a lot of wine, it’s really good.

I'll have to go count what my capacity is, but I have a similar question: what is your current un-used capacity?
