Scans and profiles

Check a wine profile and your own bottle details

Distinguish shared wine information from your quantity, purchase records and notes, and know what to do when a profile is wrong.

Check the identity first

Compare producer, wine or cuvée name and vintage with the actual label. Check the country, region and wine type next. Similar labels can be used for several vintages or wines, so a matching photograph is not enough.

On Add wine, a database result or completed profile appears before the cellar details. If the wine is wrong, clear the selected result or choose Enter a different wine before saving.

Understand the two kinds of information

  • Wine profile: producer, vintage, grapes, origin, description, published tasting information and suggested drinking dates describe the wine. Some details may be unavailable.
  • Your cellar entry: quantity, purchase price and date, merchant, Location note, Preferred drinking year and Notes describe the bottles you own.
  • Your tasting notes: your own impressions and ratings recorded when opening bottles. These are different from published tasting descriptions.

Update your cellar information

  1. Open the saved wine in your cellar and choose Edit details.
  2. Change your quantity, purchase details, Location note, Preferred drinking year or Notes.
  3. Choose Save changes and check the result. Exact positions are edited separately in Cellar layout.

If the profile is incomplete or incorrect

The website does not let you freely edit the catalogue profile from Edit details or from the profile preview. If a saved wine has the wrong producer, vintage, grapes or image, contact support with the wine-page link, the incorrect detail and a clear label photo or producer reference.

Keep uncertain information out of personal records until you can check it. A market estimate, where shown, is different from what you paid. Record the amount you actually paid per bottle in Purchase price.
