Browsing your wine collection is like looking at the real thing. Try it out with our free trial, and then purchase the full version from within the application.

It's a Garage, Wishlist and Trash as well! Finished a bottle? Move it to the Garage for future reference if you enjoyed it. Didn't like it? Move it to the Trash, where you can locate it later if required. What about wine that you've been recommended or tasted in a restaurant? Enter it straight into your Wishlist and then move it to the Cellar when you eventually purchase it. List mode ---------- If you want to see your wines in a more conventional list, you can easily do so by tapping the list option in the menus. Search and Sort ------------- You can search for wine based on any of the data you've entered, as well as sort your entire collection based on: Type, Region, Vintage, Price or Rating. Search and Sort are available in both cellar and list modes too! Backup/Restore/Merge ---------------------- Worried about losing all that info you've entered?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cellar 2 at 56% against Bottelio's 0%. Cellar 2 also leads on ratings volume (128 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Bottelio's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bottelio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cellar 2 has 128 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Cellar 2's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bottelio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cellar 2 ships an update monthly, Bottelio every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
