Feature list

A considered set of tools for looking after a serious cellar

SmartCellar brings the working parts of wine collecting into one courteous, practical place: inventory, drinking windows, tasting memory, AI guidance, restaurant list decisions, and shared access.

Each feature is deliberately practical. It earns its place by helping a collector buy better, store more accurately, open at the right moment, or remember what was worth repeating.

Cellar records and bottle context

Record producer, vintage, region, colour, grapes, bottle count, storage location, purchase price, merchant, and notes. This gives the collector a dependable answer 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 records beside the wine rather than in a separate file.

Scanning, enrichment, and restaurant lists

Scan bottle labels, enrich incomplete records, and use the wine list scanner when a restaurant list is longer than the table has patience for. The tools are designed to save time while still asking the collector to review 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.

Drinking, tasting, and deciding

Drinking windows, tasting notes, Cella AI, insights, and notifications help the cellar behave like a living collection rather than a static inventory. The benefit is not more administration; it 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, wishlists, and account control

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.
