Add bottles manually

When typing is quickest

Manual entry is often quicker than a scan when the label is clear, you know the wine or you have a reliable merchant invoice beside you.

There is no need to fill every field at once. Producer, wine name, vintage, colour, quantity and cellar are enough for a sound first record.

Add the bottle

Choose Add bottle, enter the wine details, then review the cellar-specific information before saving.

1. 1. Enter producer, wine name, vintage, colour, region, and country where known.
2. 2. Choose the cellar and quantity.
3. 3. Add the price, purchase date, merchant and storage location if you want them for future reference.
4. 4. Save the bottle and check whether SmartCellar warns that a similar wine already exists.

Check before creating another record

A slightly different producer or cuvée name can easily create a duplicate. If SmartCellar finds a similar wine, compare it with the bottle in front of you before saving another record.

• Add bottles to an existing cellar record when it is the same wine and vintage.
• Create a separate record when the vintage, bottle size, producer or cuvée is different.
• Keep merchant references, case notes and other personal details in private notes.
