The Cellar Schematic is a modern cellar book for people who care about what's in the glass. Add bottles two ways: scan a label, or type a wine in when the bottle isn't in front of you. Every field is editable either way. Connect AI in Settings and it fills in producer, vintage, region, grape, drinking window and critics' notes. The AI reads each wine rather than matching a catalogue, so anything from a grand cru to a local bottle finds its place. ADD WITHOUT THE BOTTLE Some wine you never hold before it's yours — delivered straight to storage, bought en primeur, or kept by a friend. Tap + and type it in: with AI, three fields (producer, wine, vintage) are enough and it completes the rest. No photo? The wine shows a clean cellar card until you add one — from your camera or photo library, or let the app find the real label online for you to approve. DRINKING WINDOWS Each bottle is classified Hold, Drink Now, Drink Soon, or Past Peak — and you can override the window any time. THE VIRTUAL SOMMELIER (optional AI feature) Ask what to open tonight, what pairs with the salmon, or which bottles are ready now. Recommendations come from your own cellar, not a generic database. THE VIRTUAL CONCIERGE (optional AI feature) Tap and ask. The Concierge answers questions about the app itself, in plain language — time pouring, not reading manuals. WHERE TO BUY (optional AI feature) Find current retailers for any wine near you, with prices in your local currency and a clear best-price call-out. Discover similar bottles when yours isn't available, or source a whole buying list from one or two retailers in a single sweep. THE CELLAR SCHEMATIC A signature radial diagram — five rings for category, drinkability, vintage, grape and country — that turns your collection into a single, considered image. Shareable, anonymised, and unmistakably yours. See where every bottle lives. The Cellar tab's second view — the Plans — shows not what you hold but where it lies: each storage area drawn to plan, a circle for every bottle exactly where it sits. Racks and fridges are grids, bins numbered compartments, far storage a tidy manifest. Build it up front or let it appear as you add wines — and find any bottle at a glance. A SHARED CELLAR Invite a partner, a household, or a tasting circle to one cellar via iCloud. Everyone adds and updates together, seeing the same shelves in real time. BUILT FOR SERIOUS CELLARS Designed for cellars up to 5,000 bottles. Bring a lifetime's collecting across from CellarTracker or Vivino in moments, and everything keeps pace — search, the Schematic, and the Plans drawing every bottle in its place. ALSO INSIDE Tasting notes, personal ratings, food pairings, and critics' summaries The Vault — reserve bottles kept out of everyday recommendations The Buying List — flag bottles to acquire and source them together Store a wine in several locations, with a per-location breakdown Search and filter by colour, region, grape, location, or drinkability Import existing cellars from Vivino or CellarTracker exports Dark and light appearance OPTIONAL AI Scanning, typed-in completion, label finding, the Sommelier, the Concierge and the buying tools run on your own OpenAI account, connected once in Settings. No subscription, no markup: you pay OpenAI directly for what you use, typically a fraction of a cent per scan or question and well under a dollar a month for most people. Your key stays in your device's Keychain and your requests go straight to OpenAI — never through us. Setup is one-time and guided from Settings. It's entirely optional: without AI, scanning still saves the bottle and photo for you to fill in by hand, and everything else — drinking windows, the Plans, the Schematic, sharing, search, imports — works with no AI at all. YOUR CELLAR, YOUR ICLOUD Future updates are included. Your cellar lives in your own iCloud account, not on our servers — your collection stays yours, on devices you own. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.13 — 2026-08-31 IIMPROVED DIAGONAL STORAGE Diamond walls are drawn more precisely. A wall now shows all of itself, every row down to the last, and the half-diamonds in the corners hold their bottles neatly inside the frame — so each bottle is there to see and to tap. Storage wider than the screen slides sideways within its card, keeping the far columns within reach. On iPad, every plan sits tight to its title strip. ### 1.0.12 — 2026-08-27 Diagonal racks — the diamond kind — are drawn the way they are built. DIAGONAL STORAGE Choose Diagonal when you set up a piece of storage and the app draws the lattice: diamonds interlocking as the timber does, each row half a diamond across and half a diamond down from the one above. Tell it how many bottles one diamond holds and every one of them is drawn inside it as its own circle you can tap. One bottle a diamond gives you a simple diamond rack; ten gives you a wine cube. FINDING A BOTTLE IN IT Letters run across and numbers down, as they do on a rack, so a space reads as B3. Tap the plan to put a bottle exactly where it sits, or type the position on the wine's own screen. ### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-22 Every price now says where it came from and when. WHEN A PRICE WAS FOUND Open a wine and the line beneath its price says whether the app looked it up or you entered it, and on what day. A figure searched this morning and one recorded two years ago no longer look the same. The Cellar page and the pricing screen say when prices were last looked up, so the total retail value carries its own date. KEEP THE PRICES THAT ARE YOURS A price you typed from your own records is the one figure the app cannot find again. Refreshing now offers to look up the prices it found and leave yours exactly as they are — or to refresh everything, as before. It asks only when you have prices of your own to keep. PRICES YOU ALREADY HAVE Prices recorded before this update are unchanged and still count. There is no need to look them up again. ### 1.0.10 — 2026-08-20 Draw the schematic over any part of your cellar, keep one every year, and bring an imported cellar up to the standard of a scanned one. CUSTOM SCHEMATICS The signature drawing, over a chosen part of your cellar — your Pinots, your Champagnes, the wines you opened one evening. Choose up to five criteria, name it, and it sits beside the cellar's own drawing. Each is a saved definition rather than a picture, so it redraws as the cellar changes. Share any of them; each carries its own reference number. THE CELLAR ARCHIVE One schematic is kept for each year — a visual history of how the collection has changed. This year's card follows the cellar as it stands; when the year closes, it is kept as the year ended. COMPLETE MISSING FIELDS A cellar imported from Vivino or CellarTracker arrives as little more than producers, names and vintages. One pass fills the drinking window, grape, alcohol, tasting notes, food pairings and critical standing for every wine that has none — from each wine's own details, the same way scanning a label does. Only empty fields are ever filled. PRICING Look up what your wines currently sell for, or refresh prices when values have moved. Prices feed the total retail value and the price bands, and the app says which wines it could not price and why. ALSO IN THIS VERSION • Price bands set at levels that suit your currency, with wines priced in another currency kept separate rather than mixed in • Drinking windows estimated for wines that arrive without one • Vivino imports read drinking windows and grape varieties more faithfully, and repeat scans of one wine come in as one wine • Your OpenAI key is checked when you save it, so you know it works • The schematic draws itself when you arrive at the Cellar ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-11 Improved storage capability and import information. • Your storage, in your order, everywhere. Drag your racks, fridges and bins into the order you keep them in — the everyday rack first, the second home last until you travel — and the whole app follows: the Plans, the storage filters, the ring on the Schematic, the inventory breakdown, and every list you pick a location from. Until you arrange it yourself, the fullest storage leads. • Bottles keep their spots. Moving a rack or fridge to another area now keeps every bottle exactly where it sits, and what the app promises before the move is what you get afterwards — down to the bottle. • Merging two pieces of storage is easier. "Delete this storage and move the wines" — sits both on the storage itself and at the foot of the Edit Storage form. • Re-importing a CellarTracker or Vivino file used to match on producer, wine name and vintage alone, which could quietly write one wine's details over another's when two of your wines share a name. Now the bottle's own location decides which wine a row means, so a wine you keep in two bins is refreshed bin by bin. Where nothing can tell two rows apart, the import leaves them exactly as they are and tells you which wines and what to do. • A wine's photo, on every bottle of it. Add a label photo to a wine you keep in more than one place and it now appears on all of them, not just the one you were looking at. • Show in Plans lands on the spot. Tapping through from a wine opens its storage with the bottle already marked, and tells you whether you're looking at one wine in several places or several wines in one spot. • Other improvements and fixes throughout, including clearer wording wherever the app explains what an import or a move is about to do. ## Apps similar to The Cellar Schematic | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Meopham Pizza](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/meopham-pizza/id1572220108) | — | Free | Food & Drink | | [TastingTrail](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tastingtrail/id6746080074) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Food & Drink | | [SIP.wine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sipwine/id6754211582) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Food & Drink | | [SipList: Great Wine Every Time](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/siplist-great-wine-every-time/id6759101787) | 5.0 (16) | Free | Food & Drink | | [Ask Marcel: Wine Info & Prices](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ask-marcel-wine-info-and-prices/id1589418530) | 5.0 (7) | Free | Food & Drink | | [Wine AI: Scanner Sommelier](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wine-ai-scanner-sommelier/id6746680887) | — | Free | Food & Drink | ## Related topics [the cellar schematic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-cellar-schematic) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
