Take a clear photograph
The front label should be sharp, evenly lit and large in the frame. Try to avoid glare, deep shadows and taking the photograph at an angle.
- Photograph the main front label first.
- Add the back label if it contains details missing from the front.
- Retake the photograph if the producer, cuvée or vintage is difficult to read.
Check the wine before saving
The scan creates a draft for you to approve. Check the producer, wine name and vintage first, followed by the region and colour.
- 1. Confirm the producer and wine name.
- 2. Check vintage, region, country, and colour.
- 3. Choose the cellar and quantity.
- 4. Add purchase and storage details if you have them.
- 5. Save the record only when it matches the bottle in front of you.
When typing will be quicker
Enter the bottle by hand if the label is damaged, the only details are on a handwritten cellar tag or a merchant invoice already gives you a better record.
