Your wines. Your story. A collection is more than bottles on a shelf. It is tastings, favorites, evenings, and the bottle in your hand that you cannot name. ÆVUM helps you remember every bottle, identify it with NFC, and understand your cellar – on iPhone and iPad, even offline. Remember. Identify. Understand. REMEMBER Keep the wines you own and the wines you have already enjoyed in one place, clearly separated. - Digital cellar with photos, vintage, winery, bottle count, and the total value of prices you enter - History: what you drank, gifted, or sold – including when and how you rated it - Personal tasting notes with scores and sensory impressions - Voice tasting: speak freely. ÆVUM transcribes live and fills name, winery, score, notes, and dish - Food pairing: dish, dish family, and how well it worked - Tasting sessions with order, ranking, and “add this wine to my cellar” - Search by wine or by dish – steak, pasta, Riesling, Pinot Noir IDENTIFY Hold your iPhone to an NFC tag on the bottle. The linked wine opens instantly – no scrolling, even years later, even without a network. NFC tagging is included in the free version. Compatible tags are sold separately. UNDERSTAND See what you have, what to open next, and how the cellar is built. - Drinking windows and a yearly reminder when wines are ready - Statistics: bottles, wines, vintages, regions, and value - Wineries with contacts, maps, and visit history - Collection and History as separate views ÆVUM PRO Free for up to 10 wines and 5 tastings. Pro unlocks unlimited wines and tastings, iCloud sync, family sharing for one shared cellar, multiple photos per wine, advanced statistics, and export (CSV, JSON, or a full ZIP with images and audio). Privacy-first: your data stays on device or in your own iCloud – not a wine social network. Dark Mode. German, English, Español, Français, Italiano, 简体中文. Designed in Germany. What do I have in my cellar? Which wines have I already tasted? Which one was my favorite? Which bottle is in front of me right now? How is my collection structured? ÆVUM turns the cellar into a personal wine library. Good wines. Better memories.
