And the cork total for 2007/08 is …

I blogged back in February the annual cork counting competition. 2005/06 was 456 and 2006/07 was 496.

Guesses from those who helped drink the wine ranged from 495 to 648, averaging 553.

Guesses on the blog were from 483 to 599.

The result was less than most predicted, but still an increase over the previous year – 512. That includes 240 stelvins. Chicken Little was closest on the blog with 510 and Arnold K in real life guessed 512 exactly.

Those stelvins do made it hard to guess.
