Inventory that answers the obvious questions

Capture producer, vintage, region, colour, grapes, bottle count, storage location, purchase price, merchant, and private notes. Get dependable answers to the basic questions: what is here, where is it, what did it cost, and how many remain.

  • Bottle count, storage location, purchase context, and private notes.
  • Search and sort by producer, region, vintage, colour, readiness, and quantity.
  • Estimated values and purchase context beside the wine rather than in a separate file.

Scanning tools that leave you in control

Scan bottle labels, fill incomplete details, and use the wine-list scanner when a restaurant list needs a calmer review. The tools save time while still asking you to check the result.

  • Label scans create a reviewable draft before saving.
  • Enrichment can add grapes, regions, imagery, awards, scores, pairings, and drinking guidance.
  • Wine list scans accept food, colour, budget, and style context before recommending a shortlist.

Decisions for opening, tasting, and buying

Drinking windows, tasting notes, Cella AI, insights, and notifications help the cellar behave like a working collection rather than a static inventory. The benefit is better timing, better memory, and more confident choices.

  • Ready-to-drink views help prevent bottles from being forgotten.
  • Tasting notes preserve ratings, occasion, aroma, palate, finish, photos, and repeat-buy judgement.
  • Cella answers from the wines in your account, not from a generic list.

Sharing and account control when the cellar is not only yours

Invite trusted people to view or maintain a cellar, save future purchases to the wishlist, and keep account preferences, exports, and privacy controls close at hand. SmartCellar is private by default, with deliberate sharing when it is useful.

Common questions

Which SmartCellar features matter most first?

Most collectors should begin with inventory, quantity, storage location, and tasting notes. Drinking windows, label scans, Cella, and wine-list scans become more useful once the core records are trustworthy.

Does every plan include Cella and scans?

Yes. Every plan includes Cella, bottle profiles, and restaurant wine-list scans, with higher monthly allowances on paid plans.

Can more than one person manage a cellar?

Yes. SmartCellar supports shared cellar access so trusted people can view or help maintain cellar records without sharing a password.
