Features
Read full description

When is your wine ready to drink? WineReady is a reminder app that manages your wine's drinking window. Just enter the grape variety and vintage, and it calculates the window (start → peak → end) automatically. We remind you before the window opens, at its peak, and then daily once it's passing — until you open the bottle. No more bottles bought or gifted, then forgotten until they're past their prime. ■ Who it's for - You collect wine a few bottles at a time - You're not sure when to open a wine you received as a gift - You keep missing the perfect moment - You want a clear view of the bottles in your cellar ■ Features - Auto-calculated drinking window from grape and vintage (20 varieties built in — Cabernet ages long, Prosecco drinks young, and more) - A drinking-window meter showing start, peak, and end at a glance - Three-stage notifications (ahead of time, at the window and peak, then daily once it's passing) - Add photos of your bottles and labels (background removed automatically) - Group by cellar or storage location (Premium) - Surface the bottles you should open soon — ready but still resting (Premium) - Tasting records with ratings, food pairings, and notes (Premium) - Home screen widget showing your next drinking window at a glance - A fresh wine tip every day ■ Free vs Premium The free version lets you track up to 3 wines. Premium (one-time or weekly) unlocks unlimited bottles, grouping by cellar, tasting records, no ads, and saved purchase links. ■ Note Please drink only if you are of legal age. Enjoy in moderation and never drink and drive. Drinking windows are general estimates based on grape variety. ■ LINKS - Support / Contact: https://tsuzukit.com/contact/ - Terms of Service: https://tsuzukit.com/legal/terms-of-service.html - Privacy Policy: https://tsuzukit.com/legal/privacy-policy.html
